Merci Chérie!

So some people actually did get some info after they had registered for the mailing list…  :?

From the looks of it Without Cause will be only released on the C medium then?

Should it be true I’m tempted to say that doesn’t come short of a crime…. 8)

Short wave mystery

Hello,

I am just curious to know if anyone is going to distribute the SWM 12” in Europe? and by the way are any of you located in Europe that purchased the record directly from SWM that have received the record now? I’ve got a refund from SWM due to some mess-up with the postage price to the EU, but I have not tried to purchase again
Thanks

Got it at last (The Short Wave Mystery, not (yet) Anna’s entire catalogue :wink: ).

Again, highly recommended.

Admittedly you get a lot of 82-84 Depeche Mode on there, like e.g. faint hints of my Secret Garden in Turn Time Away, but hey, know what, I happen to like DM and I which they had recorded more stuff like that back then.

So don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this is a copy cat act, it is a blend of DM and their very own style.

I just wonder what happened to that lovely lady who sang on Pilots, I really miss her on this miniLP…. and BTW, why only a miniLP? :cry:

THE SHORTWAVE MYSTERY – Down and Out in a Town of Yardsales LP US 2010 WS201001 6 Tracks 40’42’‘

In 1983, Gregory Windrum Scoggin formed THE SHORTWAVE MYSTERY in which he did incorporate some of his friends (Jason Wright, Tom Wright and Dave Skinner). As influences he points out D.A.F., Der Plan as well as OMD or Depeche Mode, and in general the early 80’s New Wave movement, which is good as his music was then about incorporate the right portion of melancholy and melody, that make those tracks so substantial and stand up the test against time (at least for us). In 1985, they released on 12”EP “Pilots” (Good Records, Good-1) which became an incredibly sought-after and high-priced gem in recent years (after it has been hyped immensely on ebay). All tracks on this MLP were recorded in 2003/04 and remixed in 2009/10. There is really no need to describe every song individually, they are all nothing but the most beautiful melancholic electropop songs with rich textures and either almost ethereal or typical synthpop-a-like vocals. The tracks are always still right for the dancefloor (in the club or in your living room), think of For Against, Hysterica Passio (especially A-side), or some Swedish electropop acts from that era like 3 Miles From Here or Royalty, or the German band New Scientists on B-side. For Anna, this MLP is the record of the year so far when it comes to electropop/synthpop and she is looking forward to further tracks coming soon on the already announced CD. Better get the vinyl while you can!

LPs are new, clear marbled gold vinyl, incl. 11x17 inch promotional poster, shrinkwrapped and are limited to 500 copies.
