Small Pack of Singles / EPs

...so i've finally found some spare time this week,
hence i thought of sharing some music in the blog here locally as well...
With a bit of extra luck, ie. if everything flows nice and smoothly,
regarding real life issues that i have to deal with...
i might also get to post few more rarities in the next few days... :-)

By far my personal favorite among this nice bunch of eps/singles,
minimal / ndw / punk, all nicely mixed up in here...the way it should be... :-)

Not really much to be found out there regarding this french band.
This is their sole and pretty rare 7'',most probably released in 1982,
(no exact date mentioned anywhere in the cover or the 7'' itself).
They contributed 2 more tracks in the following compilation from 1986,
which was kindly shared by Goutroy merely few days ago:

The a side of this 7'' is rather weak (for me at least - your mileage may vary obviously),
maybe kinda reminiscent of Indochine in their more pop-pish moments...
The b side though is THE real gem here...a truly excellent coldwave track...
it's melody is certainly gonna stick in your mind for quite some time... :-)

Link removed - Complete SIC collection coming anytime soon on Dark Entries!!!

...most probably you are already familiar with this one,
since both tracks from this 7'' have been included in unofficial compilations...
I really dislike the rip of it which has been lurking out there though,
thereby, here it is in all it's...glory, ripped from a near mint copy... :-)
Few months ago, my good friend PhoenixHairpins,
had also posted in his amazing blog their Voltage Control 7'':

Pretty cool synth-based ndw here...
the a side track was also included in the (unofficial) compilation series,
"Abgang Innen Senkrecht". Recommended for those digging rare ndw material...

The following 2 aren't ripped by me personally,(credits to whoever did so in the 1st place),
but i still thought they worth to be shared and listened from a wider audience...
