Two excellent early cuts by Roy C! They both have great songwriting, and a mellow southern-styled vocal that's very nice. In the tradition of his work for Mercury, but much rawer, and nicer. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
Lots of layers of sound here – that raw electronic style of early Cabaret Voltaire, mixed with an increasing interest both in found sound samples, including some cool spoken bits – and in elements from a growing global soundscape as well!

One of the strangest albums to come out of the late 60s spoken word record boom – a collection of Bob Dylan tunes, read with a heavy English accent by actor Sebastian Cabot!

A two part groover from this obscure east coast club combo – slowly building with some nice synth at the beginning, but acoustic beats underneath, and almost more of a funk track than a disco one, given the pace and the soulful feel overall. (Funky 45's) 7-inch, Vinyl record
