BOXCAR - VERTIGO/REVIBED (2021)

 Hello and Welcome Back... New Album Just Released..

Back in 1989 - 1992, one band was making dance music that i loved... They were kinda like an Australian version of New Order... Why they were not bigger, i will never know.

They were Sydney based band 'Boxcar'

Their debut album called 'Vertigo' was one album i cherished thanks to a record shop in Strathfield, NSW that had the song 'Insect' pumping out the store speakers... I brought the cassette just for that song alone.

What i found was an album chock full of dance driven Synth tracks that not only sounded good but every track was a killer...

3 Singles were released but failed to do anything major in Australia, only the U.S pick up on this amazing sound... Singles were 'Insect', 'Freemason (You Broke Your Promise)'(#8 U.S Dance) & 'Gas Stop'(#82 Australia)

Fast forward to 2021

 

 

Today, a new album has dropped called 'Vertigo/Revibed'... Its the 1989 album 'Vertigo' remastered with a few goodies at the end...

I must say, I'm impressed with the sound.... While I usually don't like Remasters because they squeeze the crap out of the sound for the 'loudness' war, but thankfully, not this album... While its still got volume, the synths are crisp & lush and the bass still packs a punch... Outstanding

Its a 10/10 for me...

ERASURE - WONDERLAND (Original CD Version) (1986)

 Hello and Welcome Back... Exploring some early Erasure Albums

'Wonderland' was the first album by U.K pop duo 'Erasure' and was considered a flop, that was until a compilation in 1992 showed light on several singles on Wonderland and it started growing momentum.

One of my most fav tracks from Erasure is on this album, that being 'Oh L'Amour' which made it to #2 in South Africa (music charts), #3 U.S Dance Charts & #85 U.K singles charts.

 

This version that's on offer is the Original 1986 U.K CD Version (not a remaster) = Slightly lower in overall volume but sounds amazing...

TRACKLIST

01     Who Needs Love Like That (3:18)
02     Reunion (3:24)
03     Cry So Easy (3:35)
04     Push Me Shove Me (5:10)
05     Heavenly Action (3:30)
06     Say What (3:55)
07     Love Is A Loser (3:02)
08     Senseless (3:26)
09     My Heart... So Blue (4:30)
10     Oh L'Amour (3:03)
