Inertia – Confection [Cass] (1981 Inertial Records)

Time for some Minimal Wave low-budget electronica from 1980, the peak era for electronic music, before the atrocity of Midi made everything play in time; 1980 BD (before digital). Inertia was a Douglas Benford project that edited the single 'The Screen / A Submarine', that contains a catalogue / analogue synth playing along to a home organ rhythm box, with passionless vocals that verge on talking. Sounds awful doesn't it? In some aspects it is musically non-existent, no melody, no song-craft. This is the sound of alienated youth, sick of the rock trip, finding their way in a new world of endless possibilities. Their best work was to come, but this is a charming moment in the birth pangs of minimal electronic pop, played by fingers not computers. [SOURCE: DIE OR D.I.Y.?]
