Electronic Sound Maker Finds - Absolute

Postby anemiccinema » Sun Feb 24, 2013 1:00 am

Ok I cannot tell you enough to download these tapes posted on archive.org

Just do a search for ECSM--

Tonos of stuff unreleased versions of 80's electronic artists rare demos from unheard electronic artists artists from 1984 - 1985.

Here is another track from Absolute - a Vince clarke production on Reset records.
This is a bonafide Vince Clarke sounding instrumental (it was never released on their singles).

Link expires in 5 days so get it save it and share it.

These cassettes have tons of rarities including unreleased mixes demos versions of Blancmange Chris and Cosey, Hula, Numan, Cocteau twins, SPK etc---
I am sure someone on here has discovered or even posted this before but this exciting news to me. That is what I love about this forum we get to share our experiences of undiscovered gems we discover and still discover in the wonderful 80's. It was not as available then as it is now. Thanks to everyones help we keep that fire alive.

I checked out a few of these, mainly interested in any demo Numan.
What I found was a then not yet released version of Change Your Mind,
by Bill Sharpe & Gary Numan. Talking over the intro, and that version
was a short time later released on Sharpe's Famous People LP.
Shucks! Some tracks are cool. it's a fairly eclectic mix. Thanks for the tip.
