Two - Dreaming Spires LP

The only full-length released by synthduo Two. Has some experimental tracks as well. Side B is onyl one track 'It Won't Work' that last more than 15 minutes.
Don't let the cheesy sleeve fool you. Interesting but quite hard-to-find album on Future Records.

Mediafire account suspended

Bringing you the sad news that my account on mediafire has been suspended. Thanks to some LA company that claimed copyright violation on the 'Susan' Story' 12" of Cry Of The Innocent. A bit strange as former member Lee made a comment on that one a long time ago, without asking me to pull down the link.
Don't know what I'll do in the future. All links are down for the moment.

UPDATE!
Got a response from Gypsy Lee Pistolero (ex-singer of Cry Of The Innocent):
Hi Vince,
It wasn't me and you don't have to take it down. Tossers!
& Viva you for promoting hidden gems!
Regards,
Lee.

Some files removed

The 'Industrial Warfare' album of Headhunters was removed due to copyright violation. Got a message from some French organisation. Strange as the other Headhunters records or other Shout-related material cause no problems. Checked if there's maybe a reissue but nothing shows up. Maybe an ex-member of Headhunters could provide more info?
Also the 12" of Sardine V was removed. The Australian band Hunters + Collectors made a problem. I know they cover a song 'Stuck On You' by Sardine V but they're not the writers of the song. Ian Rilen is. Can someone explain why a band that does a cover can have an issue with a song they didn't write?
Files won't be re-upped 'cos I don't want to get into trouble. Just want to let you know.
And I always encourage people to buy reissues. Support those individuals that spend their time and money to locate ex-members, mastertapes, pressing records, etc... .

Two - Waiting For Winter 12"

Good quality rip of the 'Waiting For Winter' 12" of Two. Released on Future Records (Blitz, The Wild Flowers, And Also The Trees, Rhythm And Faith, ...).
WAV provided by bX-59cppw and converted to FLAC and MP3 by me.
Two were a duo from the UK and did four releases. The first three on Future Records and another 12" on Reflex Records. Atmospheric synthwave. Should be reissued! Quite hard to find and/or very pricey.

Viva! - Dreams Be Quiet! LP

Posted on blogs before but bX-59cppw asked me for a high quality rip so here it is.
'Dreams Be Quiet' is Viva!'s third album; first on wellknown label Unition (Holy Toy, Fra Lippo Lippi, ...) and also the first where they switched from their native language to English.
You can grab their two other albums on this blog. I agree with the writing there. Viva! took influences of Simple Minds and Ultravox and created moody wave. It sounds quite accessible but I like the atmosphere on the album.
Viva! released a fourth album 'A Rainbow At The Edge Of The Shadow' in 1987 and then disappeared.

Film De Guerre -s/t LP

Postpunk band from Switzerland. And guessing from the titles, they came from the French-speaking part.
Can't find a lot of info but two members were in punkband Technycolor that released two 7"s.
Three songs were released on 12" with an almost identical sleeve (posted on Weird Cheese in 2008 but link is dead).
A very interesting record which gets hard-to-find these days.

Leitmotiv - Carress & Curse 12" Mini-Album

My own rip of this rare 12" album of UK band Leitmotiv. Got this one a few months ago for a very reasonable price.
Leitmotiv were a synthy goth band from Bradford. They released two 7"s in the same period, one on punk label PAX (Silent Run / Living On A Tin) and on Anti-System's label Reconciliation (To The Suffering).
Leitmotiv did two 12"s after these that sound a bit more poppy: the 'Say Remain' 12" in 1985 on Cryptic Records and 'Big Money' 12" in 1986 on Ediesta (posted here before).
Paragon was a short-lived label with interesting and collectible releases of In The Nursery, Siglo XX and Biting Tongues.
Still wonder why there's no re-release of Leitmotiv. This mini-album and the two singles would make a great album.
