Edition of 300 copies. Digging deep into Melbourne’s synth and post-punk annals, BFE Records cough up David Chesworth’s exploratory, theatric synth-pop oddballs brimming with strange energy, all newly remastered and now including a previously unreleased work. Originally released in 1983 as a cassette and an EP containing three tracks on Innocent Records. This is a remastered version of the cassette including an unreleased track.  Electronic Post Punk and Synth Pop, waves travelling in circles, spiralling around solid blocks of underground experimental rhythms. A proper treasure in the hidden realm of eighties experimentation.  These songs demonstrate some of the most brilliant occult songlines in musical innovation of their time. They have the marks of domestic pieces of art where you can hear the anxious tension between the mechanical production of goods and the need to consume pleasure in your free time; just as unsatisfying, just as devoid of essence. Around this dialectic, we hear the result of home made repetitive music as a reflection on consumer existence. Not conceptual but very much thought out, the success of these tunes is both their initial idea and the end product. We can hear a solitary room of composition and an exhibition in an art gallery interacting with bodies. The imaginative sound design and very catchy composition make this one of the most memorable entries in the fertile and innovative musical canon of its time.
