Anyone ever find this? Deux Filles! Gemini Forque and Claudine Coule. Two French girls creating brilliant ambient music that could chill you to the bone or fill you with a feeling of distant melancholia�

Well� Just a few years ago my whole world came crashing in� I found out that those two French girls were really COLIN LLOYD TUCKER & his friend Simon Turner!!! They created this project in the early 80�s & produced one of the most moving goth and ambient lp�s I�ve ever heard. very tate and ultra cool. I share on soulseek and the hub.

Nice! I've been looking for that album! Now I have to get on soulseek when you are too... Thanks for sharing it!

Thank you Goutroy!!!! Great Stuff!

[i]Silence & Wisdom[/i] was reissued on CD in the 90's, and is still fairly easy to find used. Apparently they released 4 albums, but afaik this is the only one available on CD.

There are some hilarious write-ups in the booklet of how the two "girls" met each other due to some tragic circumstances blah blah

Great ! Thanks !

That Moloko+ stuff grows on you. Very cool.

[KYYX4ever]

yes, thanks goutroy,
I can't get enough of that synthy stuff, and this is all stuff I've never heard of. Very cool![8D]

Calculated X: Dream Affair (Four Windows EP, 1982, X-Tracked Records)

These two are top-notch. Thanks for posting them. I may have to join schwenko's lead in picking up the Calculated X CD.

[WolverineSyr]

I really like the Factual and the Calculated X songs a lot! And of course - the Fatal Charm track is excellent.

Thank YOu! Thank you! Thank You, Goutroy! We can always count on you to bring some fantastic groups to our attention (These are pretty much all new to me)! Thanks again!

[Gyroscope2]

Goutroy,
Do You have any other songs by Beautiful Pea Green Boat. I'd be very interested in hearing them if you do. Thanks!

[yipyipcoyote]

Goutroy,
Do You have Intimate Obsessions "Why Can't I" (12" version), also on Third Mind? I'd be very interested in an mp3 if you do. Thanks!

[goutroy]

Gyroscope: Yes, I have most of their records and cds. I¡¦ll see if I can rip some more. They¡¦re definitely worth checking out!

Yipyipcoyote: I don¡¦t have that 12¡¨, but I might have seen something by that band in a local record store. I noticed because it looked like it might be good. If it¡¦s cheap, I might just get it.

Anyway, here are a few new songs. Some good, some great, some not so much.

Dead Neighbours: Beauty and the Beast (1985, from the ¡§Strangedays Strageways¡¨ LP on Sharko Records).
This is the band that would later gain Cocteau Twins bassist Will Heggie and become Lowlife. It basically sounds like a less-dreampop Lowlife.

Susan Rhee and the Orientals: Psychology (1984, on a 12¡¨ on Real Records).
This is catchy female-fronted synthpop. It may not be terribly original, but it is a good song!

Game Theory: Life in July (1982, from the EP ¡§Pointed Accounts of People You Know¡¨ on Rational Records)
I know a lot of people here are fans of this band. This song is for those few who may not yet have heard anything from them.

Yuhboys: Holiday (1984, from a 1-sided, self-titled, self-released EP).
This is a cool powerpop/new wave obscurity that was found toiling in the bargain bins of a local record store. It¡¦s upbeat, lo-fi, and pretty raw, which are all qualities I dig.

Subjects: Augie (1982, from the selftitled EP on Civil Antidote Records).
I love this quirky, weird synthy stuff. It¡¦s everything that¡¦s great about new wave: weird, sort of artsy, yet accessible and catchy. It¡¦s kinda like Devo that was, I guess.
http://s27.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2K79 ... D88J1AQXJK

Second Language: Souvenirs (1983?, form a self-titled, self-released EP)
Yes, this is pretty cheesy. It reminds me of bands like Pretty Poison or the later, more commercial songs by Berlin (well, not Take My Breath Away. We can forget that¡K). But I still like it.

Fragile Friends: Caught on the Hop (1985, on the ¡§Novelty Wears Off¡¨ EP on Traditional Records)
One of the first songs I posted in this thread was a Fragile Friends song. Here¡¦s my favorite song from that same EP. It¡¦s bouncy, pure pop fun.

The Affordable Floors: The Long Winter (1986, from the LP ¡§Sounding¡¨ on AWOL Records)
First of all, please excuse the somewhat crackly sounds here. This is like New Order or The Cure meets C-86. I really, really love this song. It¡¦s definitely my favorite of the week, and one of my favorite songs that I¡¦ve posted in this thread, period. If you like this song, I strongly urge you to pick up their LP on gemm before it disappears!

edit: I fixed the link for Second Language

[British]

Kick ass. Couldn't get the Second Language link to work though.

[marie3]

Thanks goutroy. I especially liked Fragile Friends - Caught on the Hop.
Like British, the Second Language link did not work for me.

[luckyducky91]

Thanks!
I really liked Game Theory and Fragile Friends.
I never heard of them before now.
