Imagine if Bowie went full synthpunk… in 1980.
That’s Trek with Quintronic.
Formed in ’79, they dropped two electronic rock albums that should have rewritten music history.
In 2014 we compiled their complete discography on a double vinyl for the first time www.darkentriesrecords.com/store/music/...

This album is fantastic and I think the sleeve artwork is utterly beautiful and sensual 🖤

Nice to hear a bit about the background to this amazing record. It’s in a category for me you’d have to call pure defiant joy.. file with walking on sunshine - Katrina and the waves, Story of the blues - mighty wah and you get what you give - brand new radicals.

This thought has just struck me but has anyone ever drank sangria in a park? Think of the practicality’s.. taking a big jug like that filled with red wine and fruit! Don’t forget he’s rushing on his run at this point. Not convinced it ever happened..

Never listened to owt on Spotify! Good music needs to be discovered. If it’s handed to you on a plate you won’t appreciate it in the same way.. the format in itself isn’t a problem but the algorithms and remuneration issues definitely are!

Very sad to hear that Mark Pawson has died. A true gent and when it came to zines and other ephemeral pop culture artefacts the font of all knowledge.

Another great bites the dust. Always though it curious that the original Sam and Dave recording of this didn’t become more well known after Costello’s stomping cover version.
