Vidéo-Aventures ‎– Moonbeam Movies [2xCass] (1990, ADN, Recommended Records Italia)



Not so much a band as a side project supergroup comprised of some of the leading figures of the late-'70s/early-'80s French avant-garde, Video Aventures was a loosely defined collective under the leadership of musician, artist, and author Dominique Grimaud, whose first band, Camizole, had been a synthesizer duo somewhat like a French response to Cluster. Video Aventures was a much less clinical affair, with spontaneous improvisation and collaborative musicianship the guiding principles. [SOURCE: GETSONGBPM]

Unrest Work & Play ‎– Sound Every Day [12''] (1983, Political Underground Records)



For its brief running time, 'Sound Every Day' is a rewarding and complex run through the fertile grounds of the Recommended Records' school of Experimental/Post-Progressive music. Unrest Work & Play are obvious acolytes of Faust and This Heat, which is evident in the fuzz-drenched guitars and marimba-backed rhythms of "Change" and the deep, bizarre, English Folk-style choral vocals throughout. It goes without saying that anyone who's interested in the aforementioned artists would do well to seek this out. [SOURCE: RATE YOUR MUSIC]

Thomas Leer ‎– Letter From America [2xLP] (1982, Cherry Red, Cachalot Records)





Born in Port Glasgow, Scotland, Leer played in several local experimental pop groups in the early to mid-1970s, moving to London when the punk rock scene was at its height. He formed the punk band Pressure, but by 1978 had moved on to music influenced by synthpop and Krautrock bands such as Can. That year, he self-financed his debut single, 'Private Plane'. Although it was recorded in his own flat and was only issued in 650 copies on his own label, it gained significant attention, with NME naming it "Single of the Week". In 1979, he released the album 'The Bridge' in collaboration with Robert Rental. In 1981, he signed to Cherry Red, his first release for the label being the '4 Movements' EP. After two further releases on the label, he was signed by Arista Records, releasing three further singles and his debut full-length solo album, 'The Scale of Ten' in late 1985. [SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA]

Patrullero Mancuso ‎– El Trabajo De Odiar [LP] (1991, Munster Records)



Although on the spine of the vinyl, the only format in which his first two lp's appeared, put that the title of the record is 'El Arte De Odiar', at the end is his "success" 'El Trabajo De Odiar', re-recorded for the occasion with an orgiastic addition of distortions and various noises, the one that takes the cat that got the cream. The sound was still as crappy as in their single since the LP was recorded again by Tele with a 4 tracks and mono, but their talent in devising unforgettable melodies along with impossible lyrics made them get the sympathy of much of the critics and the few -they did not make many copies of this album- who decided to buy it. 

The short and chusco-punk "(Hazte Un) Lifting" is barely out of tune in this album. It surprises the magnificent "Astral Crime" in which Eva sings the chorus...that catchy and obsessive "Viaje astral, asesino onírico / viaje onírico, crimen astral!" And their most luminous moments stand out in the media: the bittersweet "Canción De Amor", the melancholic "Oda A La Espera". But the real hidden jewel is "Rocas Abajo", a piece of beautiful pop goldsmithing with lyrics by Momonje and music by Murky, which is as moving as the first day and which revealed the potential that these young men from Villaviciosa de Odón could bring to light in the not too distant future.
