Always great to catch up with Richie and bonus of meeting Cindytalk

'On their earlier, pre-drum-machine material, there are bits that sound like Joy Division at their most light-footed but with the elegant, classically-informed guitar chime of Durutti Column or Felt.'

Compilation of the Week: The Sheer Action Of Fini Tribe – 1982-1987 | The Quietus

Joe Muggs looks back beyond rigid gatekeeping to the mad flux of the 1980s and the Scottish band who were outsider art and proto-rave

If I said that you could buy dodgy copies of Kraftwerk, Pharoah Sanders, Bill Evans etc.. albums for roughly £15 on vinyl from retailers, seemingly imported from Russia (on a Russian label) by a company registered in London run by two Italians that has a parent company in Malta . . .
