Lingua Franca

 

EP-4 - Lingua Franca-X [SIDE 8413 BEL 1984 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

It is always nice to bring something rare to the table, and this obscure twelve inch EP is really quite rare. Some will recall my appreciation of Japanese post-punk funk, so here is some more EP-4, this time from an original pressing released on the Another Side Records label in Belgium during 1984. 

I was never happy with my first attempt at a rip of this single, after a good ultrasonic clean, here is a much improved transfer.

Kaoru Sato and his band hit a seriously heavy groove packed up inside a pounding beat and funky bass over three tracks. Many British bands were attempting, some succeeding - others failing to expand this genre at the time, most have featured heavily in my blogs, so please give it up for some post-punk jap-funk.
