Wow Paul! You are absolutely phenomenal! You make me so happy once again. I love this song since I heard it for the first time on the radio back in 1986. Kirlian Camera is another much underrated band. This single really deserved to be successful. It makes me also happy that you like it.
You really are the only one to give these records a chance to be discovered. Like Jeff said, I love your daily posts and I’m always grateful.
Just listening to this wonderful rip, I’m completely overjoyed.
PAUL YOU ARE MY HERO, MY MUSIC ANGEL.
Thank you so much, Daniel. This really is an underrated new wave gem 🙂
Paul!! Just reading the description of this 12-inch gave me chills!! Do I know this? No, but whenever I see that it’s a “DjPaulT Recommended 12″” I know it’s gonna be extremely special. Gosh Paul, I love your tastes in music. And also, I’m a very big admirer of Darkwave, Industrial, EBM, etc. so this is record is going to be a real treat for me. Oh Paul, I feel really great right now. I love your daily posts and please know I’m always grateful.
Excited!!
Jeff
Jeff, I appreciate you so much. I love that give these records a chance. I wish others would do the same I mean if it’s not your taste you can always delete the file. This record is so very artistic I do hope you and others like it. Please let me know what you think 🙂
I positively love this Paul. As it played, I was enraptured. Talk about getting totally lost in the music. All those sounds swirling around my head, I felt like I was in a trance. Would love to hear this in a club-type situation. Gosh Paul, I really love this record. And because of it and you, I’m going to further check out this band. Thanks for a phenomenal new discovery.
Jeff
So glad to read your feedback about this record, Jeff. Like Paul your musical tastes are phenomenal. I so love this single since its release here in Europe back in 1986. I never understood why it wasn´t a hit. Luckily we have Paul giving these forgotten records a second chance.
Have a great day 🙂
I love your tastes too Daniel. How cool that you knew this record since its release. I’m so jealous of the European music scene. I’ve always resonated more with records from other continents than my own, although the U.S. does have its moments too. I just love all music, just love the records that are different from the same old same old.
And you have a delightful personality Daniel. It’s always a happy occasion when you comment on one of Paul’s postings. I love your positivity and personality.
Have a wonderful day!!
Jeff
