German EBM (Electronic Body Music) pioneers, Liaisons Dangereuses are goin' for it full throttle on this track. This particular live version was filmed in Manchester in 1982. Acid synthlines abound, making this track a landmark Chicago/Detroit precursor. iSpy my favorite synth duo the Korg MS-20 and MS-50. 

Synth goddess and band co-founder Beate Bartel was also one of the original members of the avant-garde band Einstürzende Neubauten. This next live version was filmed at a music festival in Düsseldorf. Check out pink hair at 1:21!!

For comparison purposes, I've also included a still frame video for the 12" version.

Industrial + Acid = Factory Floor. This gem dropped on DFA two short months after I posted Factory Floor's amazing Real Love.

"Too far gone... Ain't No Way Back!"

End of line...

I interrupt your regularly scheduled whatever to bring you this uncut diamond from the London underground. Factory Floor has future classic written all over them. Shows in NY and Philly in late September and early November.

Emd of line...

This EP/12" gets me all wound up with some serious non-goth electro industrial madness! Crash Course in Science was formed in 1979 while the three members were attending art school in Philadelphia.Flying Turns is off their 12" Signals from Pier Thirteen originally published on Press Records in 1981.

SCHEMATICS: More videos and MP3s from the 12"...

Clean, first pressings sell for upwards of $100, with second pressings from 1986 on LD Records fetching only slightly less.

I'm HOOKED! Now this is some real Aussie nerdness! Nearly five minutes of minimal synth industrial perfection from legendary Sydney band Severed Heads. Disgustingly rare in its original wax format.

SCHEMATIC: Recording details and a later concert version...

There is some confusion regarding the actual name of this track: Is it Lamborghini or Petrol? My hunch is that Lamborghini is actually an early version of Petrol. The earliest example of Lamborghini is off the 1982 French compilation Entrave et Étouffement, whereas Petrol doesn't show up until 1985 on a 7".

There is a cut of Lamborghini on a compilation CD called Can't Stop It! II (Australian Post-Punk 1979-84) that was published in 2007. This version, with female vocals is sort of a disappointment and the compilation is just OK, although that track from Centerfold is good, too. Might as well pick it up digitally because Severed Heads early recordings will cost you from $50 - $2,000!am (CD Version)
