RAMPAGE! I'm in love with this stuff. Thick guitar basslines, tweaked synths, angsty vocals, drums, actual germans...

Previously unreleased, masterfully minimal work from Australia's cutting edge art-school synth-pop outfit Informatics. This material dates from 1980 - 1985 and is finally seeing the light of day thanks to Josh at Dark Entries in SF. Not sure what the hell is going on this video, but who cares?!
The name of the larger compilation was derived from lyrics to this song off their debut 7" Dezinformatsiya. "Living in real time is hard to do."

Founder of NY-based revivalist label Minimal Wave talks about her work. Herself a diamond in the rough, Veronica's pirate radio station-turned-label has fittingly refocused attention on some spectacular, mostly unknown or forgotten artists. Beyond reissues, Veronica's bringing to light new talent with a penchant for stripped down, analog sounds, like Medio Mutante.

There is no substitute for the unadulterated, analog muskiness of an über rare, private pressing 7" from a pioneering synthpunk band. These recordings were digitized from near mint copy of this seminal work. Each track is mind-blowing and considerably more raw than the versions found on the 1980 LP, Digital Stimulation. Make sure to check out iNight, too.
