Various Artists - Freestyle Frenzy 2 / Various - Music & Performance - CD

2016 album by Deux Filles the reclusive art-house duo comprising Colin Lloyd-Tucker and Simon Fisher Turner AKA Gemini Forque and Claudine Coule. The fictive French girls released two high-regarded albums of ambience and found sound at the dawn of the 1980s. More recently both Silence & Wisdom and Double Happiness drew praise from Richard King in his book Original Rockers for their dreamlike solemnity immersed in a cloud of echo from which incorporeal voices emerged then retreated with unnerving suddenness and music sounding as if borrowed from a chamber piece and re-scored for an ethereal ensemble of recorded whispers and ticking clocks. Since the girls first aural stirrings Simon Fisher Turner has become a prolific soundtrack composer (Caravagio Blue The Epic of Everest) as well as finding cult pop success as The King of Luxemburg. Alongside a string of eclectic solo releases Colin Lloyd-Tucker s vocal and production credits include work with Kate Bush The The and Sweet Dreamer. Space & Time sees Deux Filles reunited after 33 and one-third years of silence recorded on a musical Grand Tour which took in France England Scotland Nicaragua and Japan. Now as then fellow travelers include Matt Johnson (The The) Anni Hogan (Marc Almond) and The Elysian Quartet as well as Paddy Bush Maggie Ronson and David Coulter.

0039405060326. New condition. CD. Following the abrupt creative and popular burnout of Frankie Goes to Hollywood Holly Johnson chased a solo career playing up his old band s floodlight camp for a more direct commercial sound. Well received for an offshoot Blast had all the trappings of a self-possessed number one and for good reason -- there were few crass ballads to speak of other than the sullen glam of Feel Good while Johnson continued to have a field day with disco synth rock bubblegum new wave and carnival pop. Like it or not if longtime fans felt that Johnson s personality lost a bit of its color especially its rudeness Blast demonstrated his skills for larger-than-life hooks and insatiable brass-buffered electro cabaret had hardly diminished. ~ Dean Carlson Rovi
