Blood On The Moon

 

Sometimes I really got surprised about a collaboration I never thought. Yesterday the news arrived that a new song is out by Alan Vega, who died seven years ago. Blood On The Moon is a collaboration between him and Bobby Gillespie and Roxy's Andy Mackay. I have no further information about this but assume that it was a contribution to a compilation for his 70th birthday almost 20 years ago. Anyway, it shows that Vega's song can work in different kind of styles. This one lifts the song to a techno/house level and Andy Mackey serves some saxophone parts to work in a different direction. A very nice song and worth to be featured at this place.

Homosapien

One of the two leaders from the mighty Buzzcocks (the other one was Howard Devoto) released his second solo album back in 1981. Pete Shelley made a fantastic record mixing guitars, synthesizer and electronics to a forward beating sound. The title song of his same titled record  was banned from BBC because of 'explicit reference to gay sex'. But anyway - this song became a smash on the dancefloors.

Enjoy and have a good time

Archangel

Today's track is from Burial's second album 'Untrue'. Influenced by early drum 'n' bass it has a groove of it's own. I think it is not the worst start in a new day.
