Index Sign - Second Exposure

http://www.discogs.com/Index-Sign-Second-Exposure/release/2357828

Now that's totally...weird, for 2 reasons at least...at first,
because i am certain that i had posted both lps from this band,
(but i can't find an entry for Second Exposure here?!)...and secondly,
because i was asked to also..update / fix it, since there were skips in the 1st track...
Unless i had never posted it in the first place and my memory deceives me?
Anyway...track a1 is correctly ripped now...more fixes in the next days...

Update: ...frankie just notified me that for some obscure reason,
i simply never got to post it in the first place,
but simply that the rip of it out there was skipping,heh...
So ok, at least it turns out that neither i've gone nuts / got amnesia,
neither blogspot is playing tricks on me or something...

Some "fixes": corrected the rip for Tirami Su's first 7" here:
not essential for sure, but since that's what i was asked for...
Also corrected the rip for Hôtel Du Nord's "Rose Marie La Guerre",
again, the first track was skipping in the rip of it out there
(that one i'm certain that i hadn't post it):

Another fix/update (18/11/2011):
Re-ripped Final Academy's 7" and updated the entry here
(there were noticable glitches from dust/dirt in the middle of Night Café).
Make sure to visit them over at their Myspace page,
to also listen previously unreleased material from them...

Chris Jones - Diversions: An Odd Electronic Assortment

...here's a very rare tape from Chris Jones,
the ones that are dedicated to constantly dig such material to speak off,
are certainly already familiar with his name from his Sea Of Wires project...
Chances are as well that most readers might already have heard the track "S.O.W.",
since it had been included in the (unofficial) Flexi-Pop compilation series...
Absolutely essential listening for the fans of oldschool diy electronics,
experimental / minimal synth etc etc...

...ok, so i eventually thought of also posting something,
which hasn't appeared previously in the blogosphere,
and thereby i will slightly delay people's requests for re-rips/fixes for the next days...
I've decided to NOT make new separate entries for those,
(well, doing so seems a bit of an overkill to me, don't know...),
ie. i"ll simply edit that very same post here,
so that the interested parties know what i've re-ripped/updated...

...please, do not expect me to post any other ..."novelties" here though:
at least when it comes to synth-related material,
my friend Nick has quite lots of great stuff lined up from what i'm aware...
Saying that because personally, for the most part of it lately,
i've been mainly revisiting some good old new wave and/or post-punk bands.,
that's where my "roots" are after all...
( Normil Hawaiians - More Wealth Than Money anyone out there?) :-)
Pretty much the only reason i never got to post much of such material here,
is because others out there had already done so way before me,
and also, way much better than what i could possibly do myself... :-)

Per Request => Act - Ping_Pong 7"

http://www.discogs.com/Act-Ping_Pong/release/1638141
http://www.multiupload.com/LLS9MWP5IG

... some guy mailed me asking me if i had the...b side of this great 7",
which actually kinda surprized me, as i would have even placed a bet,
that this one had been already posted in the blogosphere long time now,
and thereby, easy to be found...but apparently i had the wrong impression.
I don't own a hard copy of this vinyl (and never did to be precise),
but i do have a full rip of it, hence, there you go... :-)

..."Ping_Pong" is a quirky, up-tempo and fast-paced synth wave-alike track,
which was also included 5-6 yrs ago,
in the nowadays widely known BIPPP : French Synth-Wave 1979/85 compilation.
"Black Dove" on the b side though moves in a pretty different direction,
being an exceptional melancholic coldwave song, and if you ask me,
by far my personal favorite from this 7".
=========================

PS: ...i get some occasional requests in my mailbox to re-rip some stuff,
which i had previously posted here... i'll see what i can do about that, in due time...
For a start though, i've re-ripped and updated the entry here,
for Force De Frappe's "Europe (Reveille-Toi)",
since it's one that many people had asked me about it...
ie. it appears to be in high demand and priority :-)
Per occasion, i do update some stuff previously posted here,
but in a somewhat "silent" mode though,
ie. i don't make newer separate blog entries about it,
(maybe i should? i'll think about it), eg. a random example that came to mind, here.
