Kuruki - Crocodile Tears [1A 006-64646 BEL 1981 24-Bit FLAC] Those who enjoyed my rip of the Kuruki album from 1984 will likely appreciate their fine minimal synth debut single released in 1981, Crocodile Tears backed with the excellent W.S. Remake . This recent bargain bin find is actually quite rare and is in excellent condition. The only challenge was to find a seven inch single adapter to facilitate the ripping process.

Kuruki - TV Scape [OS 01 BEL 2009 24-Bit FLAC] Originally released as a vinyl album on Blue Feather Records in 1984. Kuruki came from Gent in Belgium and had a minor belgo-synthpop hit with the single Crocodile Tears  (not on this album) in 1981, after a number of follow ups including the splendidly catchy Souvenir, Souvenir (included on this album), they released their only album, TV Scape in 1984 . Being virtual unknowns outside their native Belgium, discovering Kuruki's blend of eighties' synthpop and Flemish new wave makes TV Scape a highly enjoyable listen, no more so than on the aforementioned single, the opening Kleenex and the excellently dreary and psychedelic  Here Come The Rest.  A1 Kleenex A2 Shake Your Libido A3 1'15 A4 Souvenir Souvenir (Part 1) A5 Souvenir Souvenir (Part 2) A6 TV Scape B1 French Beat B2 Photograph Sam B3 Here Comes The Rest B4 Boys Of Fashion Magazines B5 Little Piece Of Love
