Rudy, A Message to You
First released in 1967 on R&B Records’ Ska Beat label, the recording was acquired by Trojan Records in 1971 and later famously influenced the British Ska revivalists, the Specials, who enjoyed significant UK chart action in 1979 with their version of the song “A Message to You Rudy”. […]
Me encantan esos soniditos de sintetizador.

MY favorite Japan album.
25 years ago, while living & working in NYC, THIS was in heavy rotation with albums by Mogwai and Radiohead;
a steady diet of this, Kid A, and Come On Die Young, over and over again, over a period of about three months.
Long subway rides from Astoria and Brooklyn to my job in Times Square, to assure that I’d be calm upon arrival.

Random song stuck in my head: "Doot Doot" by Freur. It's an odd little new wave gem that would be great on a playlist with Roxy Music's Avalon or Dream Academy. The video's first 35 seconds are just harsh sound effects, then it settles into the song....

JOHN FOXX
John Foxx
1981 Canada pressing
A compilation that was only released in Canada, & a perfect Saturday record.
“Underpass” will forever be Foxx’s signature song, but many other great cuts here, like “Mr. No”, “Miles Away” “Metal Beat” which is also the label that ONLY released John Foxx records, owned by Virgin.
John Foxx is criminally underrated. ULTRAVOX are clearly great, but his solo stuff deserves more praise.

From a time it was difficult for female artists to truly find a voice and many stars were backed by a lot of (male) instrumentalists, producers, and lyricists, it's refreshing to come across this oft-overlooked Canadian singer, multi-intrumentalist, and lyricist pumping out high quality #artrock, boasting a powerful, soaring voice that made my neigbour once ask to turn the music down because it pierced through the walls.
