Cyan Revue - The Gift 12"


First ever vinyl release of this outstanding postpunk band from Hamburg, Germany.
For more on Cyan Revue, visit Fritz Die Spinne's blog. And don't forget to read the comments for more information.
Tobias Gruben was later in Die Erde and Heroina. He passed away in 1996.
I included their contribution on the mostly HC/punk comp. LP 'Life Is A Joke Vol. 2' as bonus, as it is exclusive to their albums.

The Gift 12" (Cyan Records-CR0184-1984)
1. Dock 11
2. Seven-Eyed-Horse
3. Resight
4. Last Voice
5. Wasps
6. Intoxication
Bonus track from V/A Life Is A Joke Vol. 2 LP (Weird System-1986)
7. Cyanide Repressative

Thanks, Curious Guy.
I don't know if this is the place for it, but I have a request for you: if you have the 7 Hertz 12" by A Primary Industry I'd love to hear it. None of your fellow bloggers seem to have it.
Thanks again--
Daniel

Another great find!
Thank you so much.

Daniel, no problem asking for something but I don't have the record you're looking for. Sorry.
Astro Zombie, more Cyan Revue on Fritz Die Spinne's blog. The only record missing is their 'Arm' LP. This one's pretty hard to find.
Roman Empire, shared with pleasure!

This band was o.k. But, 'Outstanding'? I think that is abit much in my opinion. Just old sounding goth/death rock to me. But, who am I? Iam a anon.

Just popped in here and saw you uploaded Cyan Revue. They so great and happy to have this EP original. Tobias Grubens other bands/projects are worth listing, too.
