It’s been a slow day today here along the North Essex Riviera.
To brighten everything up I remembered that there was an amazing rip of the
first Trisomie 21 (pronounced tree-zho-mee vahnt-ay-un, don’t cha know) single
Joh’Burg lurking on one of my back-up hard-drives. After a moment of searching …Taaah-Daah!
We have to have a good listen to this single fellow travellers; there is so
much to gain from it. To start the ball rolling its release on Belgian label PIAS
sets the scene, you already know that it’s going to be Coldwave, Electronic,
Synth and a little bit of Industrial Goth sprinkled in for effect. Dating from
1986 Joh’Burg is a stand along single that fore shadows the bands second and
most striking album Chapter IV. With shocking, violent and beautiful graphics
on the front cover, “Chapter IV, le je ne sais quoi et le presque rien”, is
captivating, sometimes even a little disturbing, original and without
concession…but that is still to come.
