Clan of Xymox on this wonderful Teac! Really like this deck!

Regrets… I should have bought the 12U racks…

NICE system and NICE music choice!

Always loved Clan of Xymox... I own their first (self-titled) album and Medusa on vinyl and some more on CD.
"A day" is maybe my favourite song by them.

PS: not just the same kind of music but still nice 80s new wave, even if not based on electronic sounds... but do you also happen to know/like the band The Sound ? (their "from the lion's mouth" album is a masterpiece, IMO)
 
and this night I am listening to a 90 minutes cassette compilation made with songs I've selected from first 4 albums by Gentle Giant.

“A Day” and “Stranger…” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Those first two albums were magnificent! I loved the ones that came afterward, but those first two were incredible!
Will look for “The Sound.”

right, also Stranger is remarkable but, yes, as you say those two albums are totally nice.

also, i own a CD reissue of their first mini LP "subsequent pleasures" which includes, as a bonus, a few demos from CoX album songs.
Sound quality isn't that great on my CD version but it's interesting to hear their earlier works.

about The Sound, albums like Jeopardy and From the Lions Mouth are true classics, but i'd say the latter might be a perfect album with only great songs, all of them.
But also their other albums are NICE.
The Sound was one of the very best bands of that era, IMO... they got a lot less success than they deserved, though.
Anyways, starting with them by listening just the whole "from the lions mouth" album is just a great introduction. :)

Will be curious to know your impression about it and the band in general.

decades ago, with my old band, we used to play "winning" and "contact the fact" from that album.

OH, YES! LOVE this band!

Sampled some YT vids on this band, they’re STELLAR! Checked out some listings on Discogs, their releases are going for astronomical prices (understandable…). I have a lot of stuff from that era- Chameleons, Echo & Bunnymen, Souixsie, Mighty Lemon Drops, etc. Wire is another band I rabidly followed. I love that era of music.
