Minim­al Wave pre­sents the long awaited 30th an­niver­sa­ry re­lease by Futurisk. Original­ly from Florida, Futurisk was a pioneer­ing electro-punk group that re­cor­ded and per­for­med in the pre-midi era of the early ‘80s. They had two vinyl re­leases that sold out : The Sound Of Futur­ism 1980 / Army Now and the Play­er Piano EP.

They played a legen­da­ry live show and had some TV ap­pearan­ces and videos (check their video for Army Now here), but for a numb­er of rea­sons by 1984 Futurisk was his­to­ry. The Play­er Piano LP culls materi­al they re­cor­ded bet­ween 1980-1982, featur­ing all the tracks from their two 7” re­leases as well as some early 4 track tapes and rare studio re­cord­ings. The re­cord is pre­ssed on 180 gram vinyl, comes in a matte prin­ted in­nersleeve (with old photos and press) and oran­ge matte outer jac­ket. Check the sound sam­ples and purchase the LP here.
