Song of the Week

The Song of the Week features a rare CD-quality MP3 from the huge volume of late 70's and 80's vinyl obscurities from my collection as well as my friends. Many of these come from albums in our MFV/Obscure80's archive of vinyl albums restored to CDR. You'll find plenty here to enjoy, despite the often unfamiliar names and song titles. Give them a listen ... they deserve to rescued from the vinyl dustbin and heard by a wider audience, and please understand that I make a point of avoiding the obvious smash hits and songs that you can easily find on your average CD compilation.

Watching the Dancers - Modern Eon
 
 
 

Modern Eon were among the early gothic rock innovators back in 1981 when they released their much overlooked and only album, Fiction Tales (on the legendary "futuristic" UK label Dindisc).

Obligatory Disclaimer:

The songs featured on the Song of the Week are predominantly recorded from vinyl records that have been long since deleted, all of which—to the best of my knowledge as well as my friends—are not available on CD (or very hard to find on CD) and are, therefore, in danger of being lost to obscurity, otherwise never to be heard by a wider audience.

Long live the music that matters!
