Time for some Minimal Wave low-budget electronica from 1980, the peak
era for electronic music, before the atrocity of Midi made everything
play in time; 1980 BD (before digital).
This single contains a catalogue/analogue synth playing along to a home organ rhythm box, with passionless vocals that verge on talking. Sounds awful doesn't it?...in some aspects it is....musically non-existent, no melody, no song-craft. This is the sound of Alienated youth, sick of the rock trip, finding their way in a new world of endless possibilities. Their best work was to come, but this is a charming moment in the birth pangs of minimal electronic pop, played by fingers not computers.

Welcome back! Been enjoying the minimal synth stuff, espec the Inertia tracks. Love the primitive/futurist contradiction feeling I get listening to this. Great.
Cheers Stewart.I understand,i too enjoy this feeling.
the future is primitive!
