A phenominal artist from the birth of new wave was called "Shrink." Does anyone have any mp3's? A search of the net returns only "Valid or Void," which I already have. Looking for "Get ready to conditioning," "Energy" or anything else that may exist...
Thanx

There is a Santa. Thank you so much. How did you come across Shrink? He's been my "white unicorn" since around '85. There is a myspace page for him with three songs on it. My quest will be complete when I get the last one, "(Get ready to ) condition... Thanks again Santa

Glad to help! I first heard of Shrink in the early 90's. I bought a used book from England called Rock Bottom: The Book of Pop Atrocities. It had some pictures of Shrink and was struck by how weird he looked - like a cross between Ziggy Stardust and C-3PO!

I thought: if he looks like THAT, I wonder what his MUSIC sounds like? I found Shrink's MySpace page and listened to the songs. "Caught in a vacuum it's called para-NOID!" Not bad! [:D]

I got the mp3's off Soulseek and eMule. I wouldn't mind having "Condition Me" either. If anyone out there can rip that from the ep, go for it!
