The Mothmen - One Black Dot [RIDE 9 UK 1982 24-Bit FLAC]

I've reworked, cleaned and rebalanced the original files from my February 2015 rip of One Black Dot for this post. I think it is a good improvement on my original work.

Don't expect the same dubby experimentation as the first album, One Black Dot is much tidier and more organised, if anything dangerously close to commercial. One Black Dot is a an art-pop/rock album very much aimed at a bigger market than their first - I can draw comparisons to Talking Heads and bits of Wire. The cracking single Temptation is pure pop-synthdisco (and it works), Wadada was also a single but much too clever for the mainstream. I quite like the last track, Thank You I Like It, which begins in a bluesy groove but finishes up with some nice wavey synth and loads of effects.
