CAR CRASH SET "Join the Car Crash Set"
CAR CRASH SET were one of the very few electropop acts coming out of New Zealand and have released several vinyls nationally between 1983 and 1986. Basically, the CAR CRASH SET consisted of synthesists/composers David Bulog and Nigel Russell and guitarist/producer Trevor Reekie, and was formed in late 1981. They created such outstanding electropop songs with a Roland TR-606/808 and such lovely sequencing, - e.g. “Fall from Grace” is definitely a song that Anna will take with her into her grave – that it is indeed a shame that they didn’t receive more attention. Anyway, their 1983 12” ‘Two Songs’ (including “Outsider” and “Fall from Grace”) and the V/A ‘We’ll do our best’ LP (including CAR CRASH SET’s “Toys”) are at least highly collectible items amongst electropop connoisseurs and many people will be happy to see these tracks being available again as well as four previously unavailable demos from both their earliest and later days. David and Nigel are said to be recording again togethe..

CAMERA OBSCURA "Strange Faces / Moving the Mercury"
When CAMERA OBSCURA were playing in Germany last year, they were also playing a fantastic tune yet unknown to the audience. Anna asked them what it was and they said it was another old tune called “Moving the Mercury”. To Anna, it was clear right away that it had to be released on vinyl as well, but it needed quite some convincing to get Peter’s and Nigel’s OK, which was not due to the potential of that song but due to the poor sound quality of the original tape. Anyway, now it has been restored to make it available to you. The next day, Peter told Anna that they had another tune called “Strange Faces” which, back in 1984, was supposed to become a 7”. But, like with the album, this never happened. But, fortunate as you are, Anna once again attended to the affair and so you can get these great songs on a black vinyl-7” oddly enough spinning at 45 rpm on the A-side and 33 1/3 rpm on the B-side. -Anna Logue.

PAS DE DEUX "Cardiocleptomanie"
BACK IN STOCK! For our 31st release, Minimal Wave is proud to present Belgian pop trio Pas De Deux, best known for their participation in the 1983 Eurovision Song Contest. The group was formed in 1982 by Walter Verdin joined by Hilde van Roy and Dett Peyskens. They released two LPs and several singles along with some incredible video work produced by Verdin himself. Stylistically, their music is a bit post-punk and completely new wave with vocals reminiscent of the indie girl bands of the late 70s and early 80s. The slower tracks are quite dreamy, repetitive and hypnotic – resembling dream pop. The title track Cardiocleptomanie (originally released as a flexi-disc in 1983 and recently made available on V/A The Hidden Tapes) has been described as “a ‘less is more’ sum composed of drum machine, wood blocks and bongos, a few tasty minimal synth lines, and an overlay of repetitive female vocals that touch a Krafwerkian harmonic nerve.” The Cardiocleptomanie LP gathers the best of Pas De De..
AUTUMN "Synthesize"
BACK IN STOCK! The twenty-seventh release on Minimal Wave isAutumn‘s ‘Synthesize’ LP, selections from the bands best material. Autumn was the legendary project of Peter Bonne and Geert Coppens, two Belgian teenagers who started experimenting with the potentials of analog synthesizers during the late 70s and formed a band together soon after in 1980, quickly becoming one of the most truly visionary groups to emerge from the synth scene in Europe. The album is titled after theirSynthesizesingle which was recorded along with its b-side ‘The Third Autumn’ in 1981 in a professional 24 track studio in only 7 hours. Both songs became modest summer hits in Belgian dance clubs in 1982, and the release been highly sought after ever since. This album features ‘Synthesize’ and ‘The Third Autumn’, along with other cassette only favorites like ‘I Say You Hello’, ‘Not Afraid To Die’, and ‘Night In June’ (featured onAngular’s Cold Wave & Minimal Electronicscompilation in 2010). Considering how you..
IN AETERNAM VALE "In Aeternam Vale"
BACK IN STOCK! Minimal Wave presents a full length album by cult French band In Aeternam Vale. Having made over 200 recordings, I.A.V. were one of the most prolific bands of the French underground scene. Headed by Laurent Prot, the band released many cassettes all featuring his wonderful collage work. Their sound is extremely original, overflowing with character, and crossing between genres: electro, minimal, noise, and even garage. "With the passing of time, In Aeternam Vale's work remains astonishingly powerful, cold and caustic with its uncompromising minimalism, but also provocative and capable to smash your ass on the dance-floor"(-Douche Froide Magazine, 2002). The record is pressed on 180 gram clear vinyl and comes in a heavyweight matte jacket with cover artwork by Laurent Prot. -MW..
RUINS "The Art Dance"
Minimal Wave proudly presents a full length LP by Ruins, an Italian electro-wave duo. Ruins formed in Mestre in 1978 with the intention of experimenting with electronic devices and mixed media. They mainly created music out of self-expression without any intention of joining the mainstream. Interested in multimedia, they had a strong visual aesthetic apparent via their album art, videos and projections. The classic hit ‘Fire’ is one of our favorites to date, so powerful with its great energy and beautiful production. It’s where Italo meets Minimal Wave. The Fire video is a must-see in order to grasp the full effect of the song. The LP entitled "The Art Dance" features a collection of songs, some previously released, others never released before pressed on 180 gram vinyl and housed in a glossy gatefold jacket lined with the band's history and photos accompanied by a lyrics insert sheet. -M.W...
FUTURISK "Lonely Streets Remixes"
CITI004 Minimal Wave takes an old sound in a new direction entirely, giving Futurisk’s classic ‘Lonely Streets’ a modern shake-up through a remix package from current artists – out now on MW’s sublabel reserved for new music and old favorites, Cititrax.Futurisk, an electro-punk group made legendary by their anarchistic records and explosive live shows, mysteriously disappeared from a thriving scene in 1984. With an electric and dynamically layered sound (created with pre-midi instrumentation), the South Florida group left an indelible mark in the crates of disco and minimalist collectors dotted around corners of the world..... -MW..

CAMERA OBSCURA "Strange Faces"
LP + 7". After the release of “Horizons of Suburbia” (ANNA 001) in summer 2005, CAMERA OBSCURA definitely wanted to enter the stage again after more than 20 years of stage absence. They were invited to play at a small Minimal Electro festival called “Alles in einem” (“All in one”) in Hannover, Germany, Oct, 8th, 2005 together with the German projects Sickdoll and Solitude FX. Peter and Nigel performed a fully professional set with lots of love, enthusiasm and fun. Eight tracks from this show were chosen to be released on this vinyl album for those who were there and for those who were not. “Vincent van Gogh” and “Fever Pitch” are yet unheard newly recorded versions. Performing the then totally unknown “Moving the Mercury” eventually led to the release of the 7” (ANNA 002). It was a fantastic evening and we hope this live album has captured some of its great moments. -Anna Logue..
ADN CKRYSTALL "Minilab"
LP + 7" ADN’ CKRYSTALL is Érick Moncollin (aka Dr. Strange), an artist from France and truly a pioneer in electronic music since the mid-70’s. Already in 1976, he was jamming with Vangelis and Tim Blake in Paris, and he was also testing the KORG MS20 in its flat prototype version (and is still owning and using a MS10 prototype today!). In 1982, he released his first album “Jazz’mad” which definitely is in Anna’s Top-5-electronic-music-albums list. The unique weirdness and brilliance of this album is unequalled and a class of its own. Érick never stopped playing and recording electronic music, but, of course, styles changed over the years. In late 2006, “Jazz’mad” was nearing its 25 years anniversary, and thus Anna asked Érick if he wasn’t interested in recording a sister album to it - in “Jazz’mad” style, of course! Érick enthusiastically agreed and armed himself with his two Kawai Synthesizer-100Fs, Korg KR-33, CRB’1969 Diamond 742, Roland Juno-60, Roland JX-3P, MXR phaser 100, Boss F..
DILEMMA "Invisible Noise Hunters"
LP+7".DILEMMA was Klaus Hahn and Christoph Schaller, originally from Viersen, Germany. Out of a deep admiration for rough early 80’s minimalistic electrobands like DAF, Portion Control or The Klinik they themselves started early to create some weird tracks with borrowed synthesisers, found metal parts and whatever did create some noise. Klaus’ first projects were The Chemical Death and Cat No Res, but once established as a permanent duo with Christoph they went on as DILEMMA. They recorded around seven tapes in between 1986 and 1990, and made vinyl appearances on the highly collectible releases “Christmas EP” (7” on Dirk Ivens’ Body Records) as well as on “VA – Forms of Elektronik Body Music” (LP on Impuls Records). Also they supported The Klinik on a tour in 1989. Unfortunately, DILEMMA didn’t have much luck since with people letting them down when it came to an album production or even stealing their ideas for other productions, so DILEMMA eventually stopped in 1991. So it needed Ann..

PAUL CHAMBERS "Stations / Absorptions"
“Stations/Absorptions” is a comprehensive LP+CD set by PAUL CHAMBERS hailing from the UK and being known for his contribution of the two stunning tracks “Steering Solo” and “Take a Ticket” to the “The Apprentices Dance” LP compilation from 1981 (on US label Sounds Interesting Records, SILP 007). These two tracks, full of Roland CR-78 action and analogue synths, made Anna really want to track down Paul, thus in-house detective Jochen Lange was once again called into action and dear Paul couldn’t hide in obscurity for much longer. PAUL CHAMBERS was truly a pioneer of dark minimal electronic music, starting to record already in 1978! He used a Boss DR-55, Roland SH-1, Korg MS-20 and EDP Wasp, just to name a few, and it’s nothing but pure analogue synthesizer bliss with lots of emotional undertones and the pure honesty of an independent do-it-yourself artist. The LP “Stations” comprises 12 tracks including the majority of his rare vocal tracks (thus also including “Steering Solo” and “Take..

DR. C. STEIN "Liège In The Spring"
Second chapter of Treue um Treue’s collaboration with synthesizer magician Dr C. STEIN, “Liège in the Spring” presents a new selection of songs which, like the analogue gems released last year on “Echo Trip”, were all initially recorded between 1983 and 1988. But this time the mood is different, more versatile and adventurous. Here solemn and experimental, there playful and dance-floor orientated, this second vinyl appearance gives a fuller measure of the artist’s multiple talent. This time the Doctor not only plays, but also occasionally sings for you and even comes back to his first love, the flute, on one track. -Treue um Treue. Lim ed 514x..

SOLOLUST "Total Loss / Sight Shuffle"
“Total Loss” / “Sight Shuffle” is simply superb synth pop of the highest possible level. The A-side is a moody electronic pop song in a style the artist himself calls emotronics. It has that special Wolfsheim kind of quality, but it is darker then Wolfsheim has ever sounded. The B-side fits perfect with the A side, only it is an instrumental piece which gives the track an ambient touch. This is an excellent track for playing in your car while driving at night. Nighttime music at its very best! Lim Ed 250x -E.T...

POEME ELECTRONIQUE "The Echoes Fade"
POEME ELECTRONIQUE … oh didn’t we all dream of finding their only vinyl release, ‘The Echoes Fade/VOICE’ 7” single (Carrere Records, 1982) some day? Well, most of us didn’t and probably won’t, and finding the members was equally hard, but thanks to J. Lange’s investigative nature (hey, you’re great!), Dave Hewson, the composer in the group was finally tracked down. To anyone’s surprise, Dave is nowadays a highly respected professional composer working for such institutions like the BBC - definitely not the common career of an early 80’s New Wave/Electropop underground artist. Dave’s kindness and enthusiasm on reworking old POEME ELECTRONIQUE material and reviving the group is extraordinary, and so is his level of production quality. Now one might think that remixes are uninteresting or useless, but when you will hear the work that Dave did on the 7” tracks, you will surely get the impression that some improvement has occurred. The tracks just sound incredible, and now more versatile. F..
STARTER "Starter"
STARTER was a minimal electronic/synthpop group from Switzerland, formed in 1980 by vocalist and fashion designer Francis Foss, Claudine Chirac (from fellow Swiss Wave group Grauzone) and Jet Harbour. Originally the band also included Stephan Eicher who co-wrote two songs but departed before the band recorded their debut album. STARTER began in the city of Bern when Francis, Claudine and Jet decided to create their own brand of New Wave music inspired by Gary Numan and Kraftwerk.They released their debut, self-titled album STARTER in the summer of 1981, making this summer the 30th anniversary of this long out-of-print and extremely hard to find LP!Using early analog Roland and Korg synthesizers, STARTER’S music seamlessly merges wistful electronics from Germany’s Neue Deutsche Welle movement and powerful vocal stylings from French Chanson. Alongside their Swiss Wave contemporaries like Grauzone, Yello, Liliputt/Kleenex, STARTER created a new brand of hallucinatory ‘Techno-Pop’ made up ..

PATRICK COWLEY "School Daze"
Dark Entries and Honey Soundsystem have teamed up to release the gay porn soundtrack work of San Francisco-based musician and producer, Patrick Cowley. Perhaps one of the most revolutionary and influential people in the cannon of disco music, Cowley created his own brand of Hi-NRG dance music coined “The San Francisco Sound.” Born in Buffalo, NY on October 19, 1950, Patrick moved to San Francisco at the age of 21. He studied at the City College of San Francisco where he founded the Electronic Music Lab. During this time Patrick would create radio jingles and electronic pieces using the school’s equipment, first a Putney, then an E-MU System and finally a Serge synthesizer. He would make experimental instrumental songs by blending various types of music and adapting them to the synthesizer. By the mid-70′s, Patrick’s synthesizer skills landed him a job composing and producing songs for disco superstar Sylvester such as “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)”, “Dance Disco Heat” and “Stars..
