moses - our revolution 12'' 1985

let's take a break here from indie overdose for a while and get in touch with our soft genital side. what we got here is an excellent euro-synth project of jerry cutillo, several versions of this song were released on different labels with different covers but all just as good. which will surely tickle my friend's tiny hiny(yee that's right, you know who you are).
anyway the group were from the netherlands, and that's all i know about this band. so if you care to add pls. do so. with that being said, this 12'' record respectably earns a place in my record collection.

flowers for agatha - the freedom curse 12" 1985

a very underrated band from leeds that was active during 1985-1986 c86 period, some might say they were a goth outfit as their first single exhibits it, but the latter part of their short-lived career showcases the band's jangly side in "through the ceiling" sounding a bit like "the smiths".

choir invisible - from sea to shining sea lp 1984

a fantastic local band from cali, these dudes formed the band in 1981 from the ashes of arcadia's punk band "flyboys" after they broke up in 1980. john curry, scott larksen and thames sinclair was then joined by danny benair and then the birth of choir invisible. a post-punk outfit with mesmerizing melodies like ultravox's and a deep siren-like vocals that takes you somewhere else you are not momentarily and that's all she wrote.

hohokam - king 7" 1984

           

this was the debut single from the british synthi-pop outfit "hohokam", not to be confused with the death metal band from the usa. tho there are no similarities, these lads were able to release couple more singles under numa records, operated and owned by none ohter that the gary numan himself, now defunct(label). king, i think is the best out of the three by a landslide, arguably. and if you happen to be a fan of remixes then you would def enjoy the 12" version of this song, but that's another post for another day.

blue clocks green - save yourself then the world single-sided 12" 1990

blue clocks green were a new york based synth-die duo, comprised of college mates lange mozian and michele dougherty. this was their last record during their short span fame in college radios late in the eighties. tho it was released in 1990 unlike "hemingway", this track has that jangly, dreamy c86ish feel to it. give it time and it will grow in you.

save yourself then the world...

bobby scarlet - white pearl 12" 1988

with only two singles released in the eighties, bobby scarlet, a guitar-pop quintet from west sussex, england called it quits late in the eighties. they released their first single "mosquito" in 1986 and again in this single in 1988 and that's the last we heard of them as bobby scarlet. then out come the nineties baggy scene, most of the band members(brothers jeff and nick pitcher, m. wise, s. walker)  with the exception of the drummer went on to form "spitfire" a psychedelic/garage rock outfit active in the early nineties to mid with two full length albums in their resume.

witness - loverman 7" 1991

witness was born following the demise of the 80s funky new wave band "hipsway", core members grahame skinner and pim jones formed "witness" together with andy carr and jim kimberly in '91 or even perhaps before that. they've managed to release one full length album and a number of singles before banishing into the dark. 'loverman' was the fist single off of their sole album(house called love, 1991) on a&m records, it's a perfect example of the saying... the fruit does not fall far from the tree.
