Nina Hagan/Lene Lovich – Don’t Kill The Animals (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

In 1986 Nina Hagen and Lene Lovich teamed up to record this protest song for animal rights. These two women deliver a song that is infectiously danceable, yet puts forth a very strong message. The song originally appeared on the compilation album Animal Liberation (1987) and later on Tame Yourself (1991) both to benefit PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

Cerrone – Supernature ’86 (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1986

Originally posted February 4, 2011

“Supernature” is title track of French disco drummer, composer, record producer Cerrone’s 1977 album “Supernature (Cerrone III)”. “Supernature” has a sci-fi theme: it’s about the rebellion of mutant creatures — created by scientists to end starvation among mankind — against the humans. It also featured “Sweet Drums”, a three-minute-and-ten-second drum breakdown. The single crossed over to both the pop charts, where it peaked at #70, and the soul charts, where it peaked at #72. The lyrics were written by a young Lene Lovich, though she was not credited.

“Supernature” is one of Cerrone’s best known tracks. It was re-released in 1986 and remixed by David Ford. The song was also covered by Erasure in 1989 as a b-side track for the single “You Surround Me”.
