By 1983, the new-wave era was practically over, yet some bands persisted with the ideal, like the Netherlands' Nasmak. 'Duel' contained industrial cold-funk with lite oriental touches ("Plaster", "Me Rex") that recalled the Talking Heads, as well as the neo-ethnic of Japan. The most striking moment from the first-side was "Matter", based on an evolving electronic loop, minimal drums / bass accompaniment and anthemic vocals. The result was once again reminiscent of the Talking Heads (echoes of "Once In A Lifetime").
The second side started unassumingly with the robotic-funk of "Duel With Unequal Arms", but soon things got more ambitious with the tormented minimal electro-ethnic "Sunk In Sight Of The Harbour" and the minor coldwave classic "Pride Of Soul". Again, the most striking comes at the end with "Mutual Repulsion", that arranges the instruments in such a way so that it juxtaposes them to present a riddle of an alien environment.
