Wire Train – Chamber Of Hellos (US 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

-DjPaulT Recommended 12″

“Chamber Of Hellos” is the debut single by American New wave/Alternative Rock band from San Francisco Wire Train.

In June 1983, Wire Train signed to the local 415 Records label, also home to acts like Translator, Red Rockers and Romeo Void, all of which found themselves with national distribution when 415 entered into a deal with Columbia Records.

Wire Train’s debut album, In a Chamber, produced by David Kahne at The Automatt in San Francisco, was released late in 1983. It achieved success on the U.S. college charts during 1984, and the band toured as openers for Big Country.

In the U.S. the single was relesd on 12″ with “I’ll Do You” both tracks remixed by Ivan Ivan.

I Start Counting – Letters To A Friend (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

-DjPaulT Recommended 12″

“Letters To A Friend” is the debut single by electronic music duo from North London. The band consisted of David Baker and Simon Leonard.

In 1984, the duo was signed by Mute and released its debut single, the quirky “Letters to a Friend.” “Letters to a Friend” easily distinguished itself from the glut of synthesizer-laden records from the mid-’80s with Baker’s distinctly British talk-sing style and the psychedelic feel of the keyboards. The single was produced by British producer and founder of Mute Records Daniel Miller.

I Start Counting gained a significant cult following in the U.K. and the U.S., especially among American suburban teens who were discovering Depeche Mode and Kraftwerk in dance clubs.

In 1985 the duo released their debut album My Translucent Hands.
