Some troubles on my previous post

OK, seems that the Anatomy Of Coincidence post is plagued with problems. Here you can find a link for 2 tracks. The Machine Language track had a few glitches which I removed. The Innerface track suddenly got some annoying gaps. I don't know how that came to be. So here are better versions of those 2. Quality is quite important to me. Enjoy!

See link on previous post. Should be all OK now.

V/A Anatomy Of Coincidence MC

Obscure comp. tape from 1984 with 10 acts from Indiana. The address states Bloomington so maybe these bands were made of students as Bloomington has one of the best universities of the world.
All tracks are instrumental and mostly made with keyboards. So expect some nice minimal synth tunes with a slightly experimental edge.
500 copies made. It is hard to tell what the bands and track titles are but Practic is mentioned for production and design so that meant that the titles in bold are the track titles I guess (see scan in the file).

V.A Anatomy Of Coincidence MC (Clandestine Recordings-001-1984)
1. Grey Area - Melancholia
2. Practic - Gone Unnoticed
3. Sphere Of Influence - Photosphere
4. Col5lage - 551
5. A Drowning Man - Rapture Of The Deep
6. Element - Rooms Without Doors
7. Deca-dense - Judgment Falling
8. Innerface - Human Factors
9. Machine Language - The Wake
10. Light On Surface - Believe/Deceive

EDIT: thanks to Oldskool, I found out that I mixed up the sides of the tape. It's hard to tell which side is A & B, so I made a major fuck-up. Below is a new link with the CORRECT tags. sorry for the inconvenience.

NEW LINK!!!!!!! (so ignore the post above. Should be all correct now)

Man From Missouri - s/t 10" flexi

Ever seen a 10" flexi? Well here's one from the enigmatic Man From Missouri. You could already hear a song by them on the 'Ultraviolet' comp. album posted a while ago.
Man From Missouri released an album 'Bwanger Tatalingus Debase' on the Greek chapter of Nate Starkman & Son label. Only 500 copies made so it's hard to find. Seems there's also a limited pressing in the US on Caroline.
This flexi was probably made as a promo for the album as the first three tracks also appear on the album. 'Ohms Way' is an exclusive track and a great one!
Drummer Steve Hadley later played in Acetone. Art Byington also in The Dogz, The Poetics, in the 90's line-up of Destroy All Monsters and also in Raymond Pettibon's backing band Supersession on 'Torches And Standards'.
There's a bit of scuffing noise in the beginning of 'Cover Tailor' which I couldn't remove.
Rainy Day Sponge; this post is for you! Thanks for opening my ears to some unknown gems of the LA underground scene.

Chim Chim Cheree! - Necessity 7"

One of those enigmatic bands that appear on the Godfathers Of German Gothic comp. CD. Don't own that CD but it's a good reference to search for more on those bands.
Chim Chim Cheree! were from Düsseldorf and did only this release I guess. Not that goth or dark as you would expect but a fine listen.

EDIT: Chim Chim Cheree! released a 12" called 'Serenade' in 1984. Follow-up bands are Scarlet Masque, Panic In Slumberland and Die Fische.

Willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause!

Silent Rite - Greatest Show 7"

Only release I know of this German wave band. Their sound has nothing in common with NDW but is more inspired by UK postpunk.
Not much info to be found on Silent Rite except that bassplayer Lee Self also played in The Beauty Contest, Montanablue, Tanzplagen and occasionally for Kastrierte Philosophen.
This 7" was released on a small label called 46 Records. They also released records by Die Hornissen, Quick Culture and Alvi & The Alviettes.
'Benediction' is a live recording.

Partly Cloudy - Excess Verbiage LP

A nice follow-up to the latest post. Kindly donated by Rainy Day Sponge.
This rare and great album was also posted on Lost-In-Tyme but for those who missed it, here is your chance to get it.
Not many info on this band. RDS compares them to Algebra Suicide or XeX but with a far richer sound as they use other instruments besides synths.
A second album was intended to be released in 1990 but never happened.
