Dynamic Hepnotics – Soul Kind Of Feeling (Australia 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

“Soul Kind of Feeling” was a single released in September 1984 by Australian soul music group Dynamic Hepnotics from their album Take You Higher. It was their highest charting hit, which appeared on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart in October 1984 and peaked at No. 5. In 1986, “Soul Kind of Feeling” won the APRA Music Award for ‘Most Performed Australasian Popular Work’.

“Soul Kind of Feeling” was written by lead singer, Robert Susz. The 12-inch single version, “Soul Kind of Feeling (12″ Hepno Mix)” was remixed and extended from the earlier 7-inch single. Both were issued on Mushroom Records’ White Label Records.

The song featured prominently in the background in Australian soap opera Neighbours until the early nineties. The song was also performed in an episode of Home and Away by Dan Baker (Tim Campbell), at the reception of his wedding to Leah Patterson (Ada Nicodemou).

Dalis Car – The Judgement Is The Mirror (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1984

REQUEST

Dalis Car was a musical group formed in 1984 by Peter Murphy (vocalist), Mick Karn (bassist, keyboardist, guitarist, saxophonist) and Paul Vincent Lawford (rhythm construction). The band was formed soon after Murphy and Karn left their former bands (Bauhaus and Japan, respectively). They took their name from a Captain Beefheart song from his album, Trout Mask Replica. Initially, they recorded one album, The Waking Hour (UK No. 84), and released one single, “The Judgement is the Mirror” (UK No. 66).

The recording of the album took place in unusual circumstances, as neither Karn nor Murphy spent much time together in the recording studio, preferring to send tapes back and forth between each other, to work on alone.
