Moev – Cracked Mirror [12''] (1981, Noetix)

 

This four song EP was released on the Noetix label. Recorded in the Autumn of 1981 in Vancouver and Kelowna, it was Moev's very first record. The title track is certainly the weakest of the four. Lyrically, full of teenaged angst, one feels like they've been sneaking a peek into a girl's diary. Musically, it doesn't veer too far from Depeche Mode's "Dreaming of Me". The next tune; "2.3" is the strongest of the four and the only one that really moves. Side two starts off with another weak track; "Obituary Column" then picks up a bit with; "M.T.M.T.N.M.E.". Only 200 of these were pressed and half of them were given out to DJs as promos, so they are pretty hard to come by. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]
