in strict tempo

Dave Ball - In Strict Tempo (1983)
Although it lacks the energy and personality of Marc Almond, I still appreciate this first solo album from Dave Ball of Soft Cell. Genesis P. Orridge does vocals on two of the tracks :)

Artefact

Artefact - Agit 'Pop (1981)
If you liked Sex Computer on the mix I posted last week, here's the entire album from Artefact of France. New wave with minimal synth feelings and some awkward funk elements that you will either love or loathe.
Artefact - Sex Computer
Artefact - Venuxity

2 Belgen


2 Belgen - Essential (2007) + Energy (Special DJ Mix) (1986)
A career-spanning collection of 80's musics by 2 Belgians from Belgium + a (mediocre?) mid-80's single. Their early stuff kinda reminds of early Cure or Associates on tracks like Cocaine but then Lena is like amazing italo disco so like go figure. I think there's some Flemish on here? I don't know for sure what that charming tongue sounds like. The original version of Lena is also rad.
2 Belgen - Local Cocaine
2 Belgen - Lena
2 Belgen - Lena (Original Version)

I couldn't find any videos of them beyond this, which is hard to watch but better than nothing. I'd like to see more.

'till the cows come home

Love Tractor - 'Till the Cows Come Home (1984)
Here's something from an Athens GA band with a terrible name. It's a mostly instrumental album of pleasant "odds and ends" from Love Tractor. Downloaded this after seeing Athens, GA - Inside/Out at Egg City Radio's Post-Punk Film Fest a few weeks ago, which I definitely recommend.

the wake

The Wake - Harmony (1982) + Singles
The Wake, from Glasgow, on Factory Records, reminiscent of and as good as some of the best early New Order stuff! I was in Glasgow a few weeks ago, but only long enough to eat a really nasty KFC dinner and play a show at Optimo with WEAVE! The optimo guys were really cool but I wish I had gotten to see more of the city.
The Wake - Testament
The Wake - On Our Honeymoon

The Return of Egg City Radio's Post Punk Film Fest....
Anyone in LA in to what happens here would also be way in to Egg City Radio's Post Punk Film Fest 2 at the Cinefamily. It started off with what I hear was a truly epic tribute to New Wave Theater that featured a shit ton of unseen and rare footage from that local and legendary show. The other nights are sure to hold unimaginable bounties as well.
Thursday, Feb. 4th - Night Flight presents A Tribute To New Wave Theatre
Thursday, Feb. 11th - Post-Punk Junk Mix Night (feat. Car Cemetery)
Thursday, Feb. 18th - Athens, GA: Inside Out (w/ filmmakers in person!)
Thursday, Feb. 25th - Liquid Sky (w/ director Slava Tsukerman in person!)

lucrate milk

Lucrate Milk - La Rage Qui Vit
Lucrate Milk are new to me but it reminds me of some no wave stuff like Y Pants and Mika Miko and also the more punk less slick Essential Logic. I couldn't find much info but I think this is a collection of their output from 1979-1983.
Lucrate Milk - No Kods
Lucrate Milk - Lustiges Tierquartett
