nostalgia—THE CHAMELEONS

For some reason, this and debut single IN SHREDS were tacked on to ‘CD bonus versions’ of WHAT DOES ANYTHING MEAN when it re-issued on CD in the early 00s. Besides not making any sense other than to pad out a release, I recall how the raw production of the earlier recordings stands out like a sore thumbs after the preceding, but chronologically subsequent second album sound, which is all distant, reverb and delay drenched atmospherics. Anyway!

one hand this group was such a girl smiths derivative, on the other they were very good. wish they’d done a proper second album at least.

when the sun hits — SLOWDIVE + PETER WEIR

what a massive tune, and this vid is one of the best movie/song mashups I’ve seen.

where’s the revolution—DEPECHE MODE [2017]

I like the song more in context with the Anton Corbijn vid. But it’s the same utilitarian DM sound of the last 13 years. Martin, can you leave the gritty analog synth sound behind already? I’m missing the sexy-ass smooth and deep sonics of classic period DM. Still, I think if some young, newer band released this people would take notice.
