I know; Jesus! I feel guilty when I spend £20 on a record, and even then I get paranoid about my turntable wrecking it when I'm playing the goddamned thing.

They were so good at White Heat last night. Exceeded my expectations.

Listened to Kill For Love all the way through for the first time this morning and really enjoyed it. That is all.

bah, bummed to have missed out on tickets for that. though i'm seeing them tonight. but still.

They were great at Village Underground last night! It was kind of a drag that they were the support act since they started so early and couldn't play for very long (they were booked on the gig ages ago, pre-Kill for Love's release), but it seemed like there was a large amount of the crowd that was there for them. "These Streets Will Never Look the Same" was a highlight; I didn't realize the guitarist sings that one.

the placement of 'the river' almost at the end is just right.

I'm seeing them this week. I've never seen them/hope they don't suck/am jazzed despite having to find parking.

that first instrumental on 'kill for love', so good. generally a fantastic record, although I have a hard time taking the lonely robot vocoder stuff seriously.

this label seems extremely generous to fans. all the more surprising considering they seem to operate from a blogspot.
― Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Wednesday, 10 October 2012 00:08 (7 months ago) Permalink
Yeah, they've always given away tons of music. I was kind of bummed out to read Prof. Genius' comment on the Soundcloud page there, though - it sucks if people aren't getting paid. I LOVE those two tracks of his on that comp.
― Walter Galt, Wednesday, 10 October 2012 16:11 (7 months ago) Permalink
But then it also looks like they resolved this?
In any case, agree that those two tracks are the bomb.

Hey guys - that was me (Prof Genius).
Thanks for digging the stuff. Johnny's a good guy. He's correcting that situation. Seems it wasn't really his doing but I will say no more. (bet u can guess).

Thanks!I'm glad it's still got some life left! Most recent releases on other labels have been less synthpop/Italo flavored. I'll be starting a Bandcamp in a few months that will remedy that. I'll keep you posted!

awesomepegaso was my fave track on that comp.

Here's a link that's still active (c. 2009) with free downloads, including the full version of "Pegaso". Have at it since the other label that released that hasn't payed me for it since 2009 as well !

both of those tracks are pretty solid, not breaking any new ground but i'm not sure i want that anyway

Chromatics playing for a fashion show and a video with a bunch of models seems really appropriate. Really like the Desire track.

I'm grossed out that they would want to have anything to do with Karl Lagerfeld, but that's a nice track.
