A Form of Utopianism: Cluster’s Sowiesoso at 50
From avant garde beginnings to ambient endings, Cluster reconfigured rock music as much as Kraftwerk, says Toby Manning. In the late 70s and early 80s, British music took a distinctly European turn, from Bowie’s “Heroes” in 1977 to Ultravox’s ‘Vienna’ in 1981, peaking with Kraftwerk’s ‘The Model’ hitting UK no. 1 during the same year. Whether it was the after-effects of the EEC referendum or a growing anti-Americanism in the wake of Watergate and Vietnam, this new Europeanism temporarily sidelined music’s traditional Transatlantic passage for the artier terrain over the Channel. Chart hits like Visage’s ‘Fade To Grey’ in 1980, The Passions’ 1981 ‘I’m In Love With A German Film Star’, or The Mobiles’ ‘Drowning in Berlin’ from the same year...

The Last Path – Blunt Synopsis
The Last Path Blunt Synopsis Formerly known as Bad Amputee, trio from the north-east of England take things slow. Real slow Blunt Synopsis by The Last Path When the sort of music The Last Path play really lands, the secret to it doing so is in how it just teeters on the absolute precipice of unsalvageable dourness. Guitars that sound innately metallic, not as in the genre but evocative of a large amount of lead ingots plummeting from the sky onto rural limestone. Vocals that draw out nigh on every vowel sound, not for melismatic or otherwise showy reasons but just to figuratively look you in the eye and say, “I’ll finish singing this line when I’m ready, thanks”. Blunt Synopsis is the second album... The post The Last Path – Blunt Synopsis appeared first on The Quietus .
