Today is Thursday the 24th of February 2022, the time is now and the shit is really about to hit the fan. I’ve pre-posted this missive for you to salivate over during the weekend. My heart goes out to all those citizens of Ukraine who are going to be caught up in the following weeks, days and hours to come.
When I started the Darker
Matter series I had hoped to smash the posts out in quick fire succession, but
that went somewhat astray with life getting its spoon into stir the pot up a
little. I want to finish the 18 posts tomorrow (Sunday) with as little fuss as
possible, getting back to a somewhat irregular schedule from Monday. With that
said, I want to bring your attention (for it does wander) back to the contents
of Vol 17. Five albums of Post-Punk / Synth-Pop / Goth Rock and Indie goodness
that you’re likely to enjoy just before your bedtime. Expanding on that
statement you have a 1984 synth-pop, minimal wave album that was reissued in
2020, a blinding Goth Rock opus also released in 2020 that has a link to Leeds
finest RLYL, a stomping Industrial Synth compilation of noise covering
1981-1991, an Indie Rock expanded album from 2021 and finally, a 2021 special
kind of Post-Punk debut that has some great influences.
What we've got here is... failure to
communicate. Some men you just can't reach. So you get what we had here last
week, which is the way he wants it... well, he gets it. I don't like it any
more than you. Darker Matter Vol 17, brought to you in MP3 @ 320kbps
