Post Punk

Heute ein post-punk klassiker von Dome: neben atonalen soundscapes, finden sich einige schöne einfach-primitive popperlen - damals mit ganz einfachen mittelen produziert. Aber was sagt discogs: The musicians behind Dome: Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis, originate from the seminal and influential new-wave band Wire, often acclaimed as pioneers of a music that took "punk" to more "intellectual" realms. Dome was their project for exclusively exploring such experimental music. During their original incarnation they recorded 4 albums, and also releases under other guises on 4AD (both under their own names and as Cupol) and on Mute with Daniel Miller as Duet Emmo. They also issued a further album as Dome later. Die titel: 1: Cancel Your Order, Cruel When Complete, And Then…, Here We Go, Rolling Upon My Day, Say Again, Linasixup, Airmail, Ampnoise, Madmen, 2:The Red Tent 1 & 2, Long Lost Life, Breathsteps, Reading Prof. B, Ritual View, Twist Up, Keep It.

Tuxedomoon sind einer der wichtigsten New Wave bands der 1980er überhaupt. Aus San Francisco kommend veröffentlichten sie schon früh in den 1980er wegweisende tracks auf den Residents label Ralph Records.
Auch hier, in der kürze, das discogs-profil:
"Tuxedomoon is an avant-garde, electronic-oriented collective whose music ranges from new wave pop to jazz fusion to more experimental synthesizer soundscapes (usually including saxophone and violin), which were frequently married in concert to performance-art shows. Tuxedomoon was formed in San Francisco in 1977 by two electronic music students at San Francisco City College, Blaine L. Reininger (keyboards, violin) and Steven Brown (keyboards, other instruments). Brown's local theater connections supplied equipment and occasional vocalists in Gregory Cruikshank and Victoria Lowe, plus more frequent contributions from singer and performance artist Winston Tong. Punk and new wave were opening up the San Francisco music scene at the time, and Tuxedomoon landed an opening slot for Devo in 1978 at around the same time they cut their first single, "Pinheads on the Move." Lowe quit the band before their first EP, No Tears, which featured off-and-on members Michael Belfer (guitar) and Paul Zahl (drums). Tong and Belfer departed temporarily, and Peter Principle (b. Peter Dachert) joined as a full-time member. Tuxedomoon signed to the Residents' Ralph Records in 1979, which eventually got them overseas exposure. Feeling that their ideas were more in tune with the European electronic music scene, the band toured Europe after 1980's Half Mute, for which Tong returned with filmmaker and visual artist Bruce Geduldig. After 1981's Desire, the band relocated in an artist's commune in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Within a year though they were forced to leave and moved to Brussels, to find first shelter in the Plan K. (a live p.a. club). Reininger began to branch out as a solo artist. Tuxedomoon was also hired to score a Maurice Bejart ballet, the results of which were released in 1982 as Divine. Reininger left for a solo career in 1983 and was replaced by Frankie Lievaart and horn player Luc Van Lieshout. In between side projects and scoring, the band sought an international deal for their forthcoming LP Holy Wars; it was eventually released in 1985 and became the band's biggest commercial success. Tong left the group for good that year, leaving Brown and Principle the only remaining San Francisco members; multi-instrumentalist Ivan Georgiev was hired to replenish the group's sound for 1986's Ship of Fools album and tour. Scoring work from past projects has been reissued in Belgium. Reininger, Brown, Principle and Lieshout still record together as Tuxedomoon, whilst Reininger, Brown, Principle and Tong have all recorded as solo artists."
