Alien Sex Fiend – Dead And Buried (UK 12″) (1984)

Burning The Ground Exclusive

Some records are simply made for Halloween, and today’s Spooky Season Spins selection sounds as though it crawled straight out of a crypt. We’re heading back to 1984 for a delightfully twisted slice of British gothic rock from one of the most outrageous bands to emerge from London’s underground scene. It’s Alien Sex Fiend with “Dead And Buried,” a sinister, hypnotic, and wonderfully deranged record that perfectly captures the darker side of the 1980s.

Formed in London in late 1982, Alien Sex Fiend became closely associated with the legendary Batcave nightclub, one of the most important gathering places for the emerging gothic subculture. Led by the unmistakable Nik Fiend and his wife, Mrs. Fiend, the band developed a sound that combined post-punk, psychedelic rock, primitive electronics, industrial rhythms, and a healthy dose of B-movie horror. Their music was strange, confrontational, and often darkly humorous. While many of their contemporaries approached gothic rock with a sense of seriousness, Alien Sex Fiend seemed perfectly happy to turn the whole thing into a gloriously demented nightmare.

“Dead And Buried” arrived in August 1984 on Anagram Records, a subsidiary of Cherry Red Records, during an especially productive period for the group. Following their 1983 debut album Who’s Been Sleeping In My Brain?, Alien Sex Fiend were quickly establishing themselves as one of the more recognizable names in Britain’s independent music scene. Their unusual appearance, theatrical performances, and unpredictable recordings helped them stand apart from the growing number of bands associated with the gothic movement.

Musically, “Dead And Buried” is a wonderfully unsettling experience. A relentless, mechanical rhythm drives the track forward while distorted guitar, swirling electronics, and eerie effects create an atmosphere that feels somewhere between a haunted carnival and an underground nightclub. Nik Fiend’s distinctive vocals are the real centerpiece. He snarls, howls, mutters, and shrieks his way through the recording with the enthusiasm of a mad scientist who has just discovered how to bring the dead back to life.

What makes the song especially appealing is its danceable quality. Beneath all the noise and theatrical horror is an infectious groove that would have sounded perfectly at home on the dance floor at the Batcave. Alien Sex Fiend understood that gothic music could be both frightening and fun. “Dead And Buried” captures that balance beautifully. It is creepy enough for a Halloween soundtrack but energetic enough to keep the dance floor moving.

The single was produced by Ken Thomas, whose work helped give the recording its thick, atmospheric sound. Interestingly, the single versions of “Dead And Buried” and its companion track “Attack!!!” are entirely different recordings from those that appeared on the band’s second studio album, Acid Bath, later in 1984. The 12-inch editions are also longer than their 7-inch counterparts, allowing the band’s hypnotic rhythms and bizarre sonic experiments additional room to unfold.

The record’s unsettling atmosphere extends to its accompanying material. “Attack!!!” is another extended excursion into the band’s chaotic musical world, while “Ignore The Machine… Dub” revisits one of their earliest underground favorites through a more spacious, dub-influenced arrangement. Produced by Youth, the latter provides an especially interesting contrast with the more aggressive material on the record.

Despite their unconventional sound, Alien Sex Fiend managed to make an impression on the mainstream British charts. “Dead And Buried” entered the UK Singles Chart on August 25, 1984, at No. 92 and climbed to No. 91 the following week. It eventually spent three weeks in the Top 100, a remarkable achievement for a record that sounded so completely unlike the polished pop dominating the airwaves at the time. The single was also a Top 10 hit on the UK Independent Singles Chart.

One of the most memorable aspects of Alien Sex Fiend was their ability to combine horror imagery with a playful sense of the absurd. Their influences stretched from punk rock and psychedelia to electronic experimentation and classic horror films. Unlike bands that relied on gloomy atmospheres alone, Alien Sex Fiend created an entire world of grotesque characters, twisted humor, and musical mayhem. It was a world that could be disturbing one moment and completely ridiculous the next, often within the same song.

More than four decades later, “Dead And Buried” remains a wonderful reminder of just how adventurous the independent music scene could be during the early 1980s. It also demonstrates why the original gothic movement was far more varied than its popular image sometimes suggests. Alien Sex Fiend were never particularly interested in following anyone else’s rules, and their willingness to experiment helped give their recordings a character that remains unmistakably their own.

For me, “Dead And Buried” is exactly the sort of record that makes Spooky Season Spins so much fun. It has the atmosphere, the attitude, the strange electronic textures, and just enough campy horror to make it a perfect October selection. There is something irresistible about a record that sounds like the soundtrack to a midnight séance taking place on the dance floor of a particularly disreputable nightclub.

So dim the lights, draw the curtains, and prepare to disturb the neighbors. Alien Sex Fiend are about to wake the dead, and judging by the sound of this record, they have absolutely no intention of letting them rest in peace.

Until the next Spooky Season Spin, keep those turntables spinning and the lights turned down low.

Echo & The Bunnymen – The Cutter (UK 12″) (1983)

Burning The Ground Exclusive

Not every record featured during Spooky Season needs to be about ghosts, monsters, or things that go bump in the night. Sometimes the music itself creates enough tension to send a chill down your spine. For today’s Spooky Season Spins, I’m reaching back to January 1983 for a record that has always carried an unmistakable sense of mystery, Echo & The Bunnymen’s “The Cutter.”

With its strange, swirling strings, driving percussion, and Ian McCulloch’s dramatic vocals, “The Cutter” sounds like a warning from somewhere just beyond the shadows. It’s not a traditional Halloween song, but its dark atmosphere and cryptic lyrics make it a perfect addition to this year’s collection of spooky sounds.

A Sharp Turn Into Darkness

Formed in Liverpool in 1978, Echo & The Bunnymen had already established themselves as one of Britain’s most interesting post-punk bands by the time “The Cutter” arrived on January 14, 1983.

The group’s classic lineup featured Ian McCulloch on vocals and rhythm guitar, Will Sergeant on lead guitar, Les Pattinson on bass, and Pete de Freitas on drums. Together, they created a sound that mixed post-punk energy with psychedelic influences and a healthy dose of mystery.

“The Cutter” was the second single taken from their third studio album, Porcupine, released in February 1983. Produced by Ian Broudie under the name Kingbird, the single became the band’s first UK Top 10 hit, climbing to number eight.

It’s remarkable that a song this unusual managed to reach such a wide audience. At a time when synthesizers and polished pop productions were dominating the British charts, Echo & The Bunnymen delivered something far stranger.

From its opening seconds, “The Cutter” refuses to sound ordinary.

The song begins with an unusual string melody that seems to twist and turn before the rhythm section comes crashing in. Those distinctive strings came courtesy of Indian violinist L. Shankar, whose playing gives the recording an almost otherworldly quality.

Interestingly, the opening melody has an unexpected connection to Cat Stevens. In a 1985 interview, McCulloch recalled that Broudie had encouraged Shankar to play something resembling Stevens’ 1967 hit “Matthew & Son.” The result became one of the most recognizable elements of “The Cutter.”

Beneath those strings, Les Pattinson’s bass provides a steady pulse while Pete de Freitas drives the song forward with forceful percussion. Will Sergeant’s sharp guitar work adds another layer of tension.

Then there’s Ian McCulloch.

His commanding vocals move between restraint and desperation, eventually erupting into the repeated plea, “Spare us the cutter!”

What exactly is he trying to escape? That’s part of the song’s appeal. The lyrics never provide an easy explanation, leaving the listener to imagine what might be lurking beneath the surface.

The result is a recording that feels threatening, restless, and strangely beautiful all at once.

The Original 1983 UK 12-Inch

For today’s spin, I’ve pulled out my original UK 12-inch pressing on Korova Records, complete with its picture sleeve and limited-edition foldout poster.

One of the things I’ve always enjoyed about collecting 12-inch singles is discovering what record companies included beyond the main track. Sometimes it was an extended remix. Other times, it was an unusual B-side, a live recording, or an extra piece of artwork.

“The Cutter” offers a little of the latter two.

Unlike many 12-inch releases from this period, the A-side does not feature an extended remix. Instead, the additional playing space is devoted to two B-side selections, including a remarkable live performance.

Exploring the B-Side

Turning the record over reveals two tracks that make this release especially interesting.

“Way Out And Up We Go” continues the band’s early post-punk approach. It’s a lesser-known recording that deserves attention beyond its position on the flip side of a hit single.

But the real surprise comes with “Zimbo.”

Originally known as “All My Colours,” the song first appeared on the band’s 1981 album Heaven Up Here. For this 12-inch, however, Korova included a live version recorded at the inaugural WOMAD Festival in July 1982.

This extraordinary performance features Echo & The Bunnymen alongside the Royal Burundi Drummers.

The addition of the drummers gives “Zimbo” a powerful, hypnotic quality. The steady percussion builds beneath McCulloch’s haunting vocals, creating an atmosphere that feels almost ceremonial.

It’s a striking performance, and one that demonstrates how far the Bunnymen were willing to stretch the boundaries of their sound.

In fact, for a Spooky Season playlist, I’d argue that this live recording is every bit as effective as “The Cutter” itself.

There is something mesmerizing about its repeated rhythms and brooding atmosphere. It’s the kind of recording that seems to grow more mysterious the longer you listen.

The historic WOMAD performance later received renewed attention when it was included on Live at WOMAD 1982, an archival collection released in 2022 to celebrate the festival’s 40th anniversary.

An Icy Image From Iceland

Another reason I particularly enjoy this pressing is the original foldout poster, which is still included with my copy.

The black-and-white poster features the band during their visit to Iceland, where they filmed the promotional video for “The Cutter.”

The video was shot in late 1982, with much of the footage filmed around Gullfoss, one of Iceland’s most famous waterfalls. Surrounded by snow, ice, and a bleak winter landscape, the band looks almost stranded at the edge of the world.

The icy scenery provides a perfect visual match for the music.

There’s nothing warm or inviting about the setting. Instead, the frozen landscape reflects the same cold, uneasy atmosphere running through the song.

Photographs from the Iceland trip were also used for the artwork of Porcupine, helping establish the band’s striking visual identity during this period.

The poster is a wonderful reminder of when buying a record could mean getting something extra to unfold, examine, and occasionally hang on your bedroom wall.

More than forty years later, it’s especially satisfying to find an original pressing that still has its promotional extras intact.

A Perfect Cut for Spooky Season

So, what makes “The Cutter” such a good choice for Spooky Season Spins?

For me, it’s the atmosphere.

The song doesn’t rely on horror references or supernatural imagery. Instead, it creates a feeling of unease through its unusual instrumentation, mysterious lyrics, and dramatic performance.

Even the title suggests something unpleasant. There’s an implied threat hanging over the recording, although we’re never quite sure what that threat might be.

That’s what makes it so effective.

And when you add the equally haunting live performance of “Zimbo” on the B-side, the entire record takes on an even darker character.

Echo & The Bunnymen would go on to explore similar territory with songs such as “The Killing Moon,” but “The Cutter” has an urgency and nervous energy all its own.

It’s sharp, strange, and just a little unsettling.

Exactly what I’m looking for when the Halloween season rolls around.

So, as the October nights grow longer and the shadows begin to creep across the walls, I’m placing this original 1983 UK 12-inch on the turntable, turning up the volume, and letting Echo & The Bunnymen provide tonight’s soundtrack.

After all, who needs a horror movie when a record can make you feel this uneasy?

Until the next Spooky Season Spin, keep those turntables spinning and the lights turned down low.

Naked Eyes – Always Something There To Remind Me (American Remix) (UK 12″) (1982)

Burning The Ground Exclusive

Today’s post is dedicated to the memory of Pete Byrne, lead vocalist and co-founder of Naked Eyes, who passed away peacefully in Los Angeles on September 14, 2026, after a brief illness. He was 74. News of his passing was announced this week.

For anyone who came of age during the early days of MTV, Byrne’s voice is instantly recognizable. Along with keyboardist Rob Fisher, he created some of the most memorable British synth-pop to cross the Atlantic during the early ’80s.

Naked Eyes formed in Bath, England, with Byrne and Fisher emerging from the earlier band Neon. As Naked Eyes, the pair signed with EMI and began working with producer Tony Mansfield. Their debut album, Burning Bridges, arrived in the UK in 1983 and was released in a slightly altered form in the United States simply as Naked Eyes.

Their breakthrough was a dramatic electronic remake of the Burt Bacharach and Hal David composition “Always Something There To Remind Me.”

The song already had a long history by the time Naked Eyes recorded it. Lou Johnson first released it in 1964, while Sandie Shaw took her version all the way to No. 1 in the UK later that year. Naked Eyes took the familiar song and rebuilt it for the synthesizer generation, surrounding Byrne’s vocal with programmed rhythms, keyboards, and Tony Mansfield’s polished production.

While Naked Eyes never became a major chart act in their native country, America was another story. “Always Something There To Remind Me” climbed to No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1983, followed by another major U.S. hit, “Promises, Promises,” which reached No. 11.

Ironically, the record that helped define the early-’80s British synth-pop sound was much less successful in Britain. After being re-promoted following its American success, “Always Something There To Remind Me” entered the UK Singles Chart in July 1983 and peaked at No. 59.

Today’s record is the UK 12″ on EMI, catalog number 12EMI 5334, backed with the non-LP track “Pit Stop.”

And this is where things get interesting.

The A-side is the “American Remix,” and my copy runs exactly 5:43. This is the John “Jellybean” Benitez remix, though the history of the various mixes has become surprisingly muddled over the years.

The original extended version of “Always Something There To Remind Me,” mixed as part of Tony Mansfield’s original production, runs approximately 6:13. It was issued in the United States on the promotional 12″ SPRO-9891 as the “Long Version.”

A second U.S. promotional 12″, SPRO-9924, contained a newer “Remixed Version” by John “Jellybean” Benitez. That version runs approximately 5:41 and, unlike the earlier mix, begins with drums. The Jellybean mix was subsequently issued in the UK as the “American Remix.” My UK pressing runs 5:43, putting it squarely in this Jellybean remix family.

If that sounds confusing, it gets worse.

Over the years, reissues and compilations have sometimes mixed up the credits. The One Way/EMI collection Everything And More reportedly included the Jellybean mix while identifying it as the Tony Mansfield 12″ mix. Other discographies have also attributed the UK “American Remix” to Mansfield. The more recent Chrysalis edition of the debut album identifies the approximately 5:40 version as the “Jellybean Extended Remix.”

So, for collectors keeping score:

The approximately 6:13 version is the earlier Tony Mansfield long version.

The approximately 5:41 to 5:43 version beginning with drums is the John “Jellybean” Benitez remix.

Sometimes the grooves tell the story better than the liner notes.

The B-side, “Pit Stop,” was written by Pete Byrne and Rob Fisher and produced by Tony Mansfield. It was not included on the original UK Burning Bridges LP, making it another reason this 12″ is worth having.

Sadly, both halves of the original Naked Eyes partnership are now gone. Rob Fisher died in 1999. Pete Byrne continued making music and eventually revived Naked Eyes, performing the songs for audiences who had never forgotten them.

There is something especially poignant about listening to “Always Something There To Remind Me” following Pete Byrne’s passing. A song written decades before Naked Eyes recorded it became forever linked to his voice, and its words about memory and the things we can never quite leave behind seem particularly appropriate today.

Pete Byrne helped give the early ’80s a distinctive voice. Thankfully, the records remain.

Rest in peace, Pete Byrne.

Depeche Mode – Everything Counts (In Larger Amounts) (UK 12″) (1983)

Burning The Ground Exclusive

Released in the UK on July 11, 1983, “Everything Counts” marked an important turning point for Depeche Mode. The single introduced a tougher, more experimental sound that would play a major role in the band’s evolution throughout the rest of the decade.

Written by Martin Gore, “Everything Counts” was the first single taken from the band’s third studio album, Construction Time Again. The album would also mark the first time Alan Wilder appeared as a full member on a Depeche Mode studio LP.

By this point the group had begun moving away from the cleaner synth-pop sound of their first two albums. Sampling became an important part of the recording process, with metallic noises, unusual percussion, and sounds gathered from everyday objects finding their way into the music.

“Everything Counts” was one of the first major examples of that new direction.

The lyrics were changing as well.

Instead of focusing on relationships, Martin Gore turned his attention toward greed, competition, and corporate culture. The song’s image of “grabbing hands” became one of the most recognizable lyrics in the Depeche Mode catalog.

The darker subject matter is paired with one of the band’s catchiest early melodies. Dave Gahan handles the verses while Martin Gore takes a more prominent role during the chorus. Add the distinctive melodic hook and all of those strange metallic sounds, and you have a record that sounded quite different from most of the synth-pop appearing on the charts in 1983.

And “Everything Counts” did very well on those charts.

In the UK, the single entered the Official Singles Chart at No. 41 and steadily climbed during the following weeks. It eventually reached No. 6 and spent eleven weeks on the chart, including three weeks inside the Top 10.

The record also found success across Europe and beyond. “Everything Counts” reached No. 8 in Switzerland, No. 15 in Ireland, No. 18 in Sweden, No. 23 in West Germany, and No. 27 in New Zealand. It also reached No. 20 in South Africa.

The original single did not enter the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, where Depeche Mode were still some distance away from becoming a major mainstream act. However, the record made an impression in American clubs, reaching No. 17 on Billboard’s dance chart.

For the UK 12-inch, Mute Records gave the extended version the wonderfully appropriate title “Everything Counts (In Larger Amounts).”

And larger amounts are exactly what you get.

Running more than seven minutes, the 12-inch version gives the percussion, samples, synthesizer lines, and instrumental sections much more room. Rather than simply extending the beginning and ending, “In Larger Amounts” pulls apart elements of the original recording and lets you hear just how much was going on underneath that instantly recognizable melody.

It is exactly the kind of extended mix that made the 12-inch format so interesting during the 1980s.

The B-side, “Work Hard (East End Remix),” is equally interesting. Written by Martin Gore and Alan Wilder, “Work Hard” was a non-album track recorded during the same period and fits perfectly with the mechanical sound Depeche Mode were exploring.

The extended East End Remix stretches the track to more than six minutes and makes an already unusual B-side even stranger.

“Everything Counts” became one of the defining singles from Depeche Mode’s early years. More importantly, it offered a glimpse of where the band was headed. The bright synthesizers were still there, but now they were surrounded by sampled machinery, harder rhythms, darker lyrics, and a growing willingness to experiment.

The transformation from the band that recorded “Just Can’t Get Enough” only two years earlier was well underway.

For me, the UK 12-inch is the version to hear. “In Larger Amounts” gives all of those rhythms, samples, and production details the space they deserve.

After all, when it comes to a great 12-inch…

Everything counts in large amounts.
