To atone for my recent run of locked threads (come on, [i]really[/i]...it's a bit of an overreaction) I'm posting a couple of songs I like that are quite hard to find.

Grey Parade couldn't buy a break. After signing to Plan B records for their first (and only) lp "The Reason", they began recording tracks while the company slipped into bankruptcy. The production was scrimped on and there was almost no promotion for the lp. Not many copies were pressed, and few sold.

From there they signed on to Numa Records, and Gary immediately went about changing their sound. Let's just say that was a mistake. They made only 1 single for Numa (House Of Steel/Asleep).

Grey Parade - Impressions Of Africa

The Reverbs released 1 ep titled Happy Forest, containing the song Trusted Woods. I don't know much about the group other than the fact they evolved into the group Velvet Crush.

The Reverbs - Trusted Woods

Enjoy...even you NWZ types.

Ahhh -- Thanks EIGHT 6.....Insultingly obvious political lyrics...meandering, melodylessness with not a hook in sight...Gary Numan style vocal attempt with 'Gentlemen Take Polaroids' era Japan thinly done....PLUS a couple tribal "hoo-haa' chants at the end.....THIS is why I come to this site!! I love this obscurity!

You can always delete it. Is the second song better?

Why not post something then? People keep complaining that the only thing readily shared here are insults.

That goes nowhere in a big hurry, doesn't it?



Let me see if I have this right...rhythm, check... melody, check... hook, check,... fluff lyrics, checkeroonie,...lack of meandering, eh.

The checklist was for the Technos song, not the OMD one.
