Known simply as the Partridge-Andrews-Barker Project, the trio compiled more than eight hours of material during three live sessions in Swindon's Headroom Studio last November.
Engineer Merv Carswell and Future Sound Of London guitarist Stuart Rowe recently finished arranging the material into a two-disc set, 'Monstrance', to be released in the US on April 3 via Ape House.
According to a spokesperson, the album is "unusual but invigorating stuff."
The 'Monstrance' tracklisting is:
Disc 1:'I Lovely Cosmonaut''Winterwerk''Black Swan Black''Mig''Oodoo''UR Tannoy''Little Field'
Disc 2:'Pagoda Tailfin''Chain Gang''Torturetainment''The Floating World''Priapple'

Anyway, a-ha's excellent "Scoundrel Days" album deserves a mention. Way better than "Hunting High & Low". Also, Thomas Dolby's debut album is way more essential than "The Flat Earth" is.

I believe Thornalley produced their debut album. (Possibly as a replacement, as the production sounds a lot like Alex Sadkin, and there is a cryptic "To Alex: Thanks... and goodbye" message inside)

Sure. About three or four months prior to their "Shattered Dreams" breakthrough, so it is not at all impossible he was set to produce them. Their sound had some Sadkin-like elements to them, notably the bass sound.

Also try out the Hosono/YMO/Sakamoto crowd of records if you're craving that 80s sound. They did some of the most interesting work. Selections of Virginia Astley's "Hope in a Darkened Heart" (produced by Sakamoto) are total brialliance.

Just discovered this thread, but I'm interested in this stuff currently.
Naked Eyes? I haven't heard a bad song by them.
Early stuff by Flowers / Icehouse - at least first two albums.

Also...how could people have missed Scritti Politti?
