12" / Akufen remixed by Thomas Brinkmann and Process / Psychometry / Trapez

I really like the A side of this 12inch. It is killer, and worth buying this for. Thomas Brinkmann pulls out magic for this one. The Process remix percolates along with vigor, but has little variation.

12" / Linda Lamb / Hot Room / International DeeJay Gigolo Records

With a riff that recalls Pere Ubu's "Final Solution" played by Jah Wobble and a voice like Marianne Faithful. Linda Lamb's Hot Room is a corker of a cut.

LP / Liue Luie / Touchy / Penstar Productions

12" / Modeselector / In Loving Memory / Bpitch Control

The EP's title track In Loving Memory is almost prog electronics. It is a success, and a track I like a lot. I am reminded of the German group Nektar from the 70s
