Ministry Of Love - Wide Awake And Dreaming MLP


For those who like Red Temple Spirits: here's the band that came before them.
William Faircloth originally came from England and teams up with Roger Beall and multi-instrumentalist Mark Nine to deliver 5 tracks of postpunk with a strong 60's psyche influence. Early Pink Floyd comes to mind.
Ministry Of Love is a bit more psyche than Red Temple Spirits. They made a perfect mix of both styles on their 2 albums and the 'New Land' 7".

The Borobudur - Silent In The Empty Room MC


Time for some weird stuff out of Japan. Don't know anything about The Borobudur but I think it's just one person playing all the instruments. Sounds like coming straight from a mental institution.
Quite interesting.
Titles as found on the sleeve.
Trivia: Borobudur is a buddhist temple on Java, Indonesia. Discovered in the 19th century, it's one of the biggest buddhist temples found.

Unknown new wave (not cold) band from Marseille, France. Think this is the only release of Sepher.
Last song (and best IMO) is co-written by Patrick Martinez of Martin Dupont. He also produced this 12".
