True Blue On Red Wax

 

B·F·G - Blue [DPRLP23 USA 2013 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Originally released on Attica Records in 1989.

Those who have stuck with my rips for the last decade or so will be familiar with Mancunian post-punk goth band B·F·G, especially their excellent debut album Phantoms from 1988. Formed by the drummer from former Factory Records band, Lavolta Lakota and despite some very excellent releases, B·F·G got lost in the musical world due to the baggy haze of Madchester, despite their heavy post-punk goth being the perfect antidote to the druggy mess the city was fast becoming.

This rip could well be your perfect antidote to my last post.

Blue is their second album, with a slightly more electronic feel this record fits into the neutral territory between Joy Division and Sisters Of Mercy, filled with distortion and deep throbbing basslines. Reissued by the late lamented Drastic Plastic Records label, it is a powerful listen and this pressing brings more dynamics to your listen, aided by all-analogue cut courtesy of Masterdisk and an excellent RTI pressing quality.
