CFCF takes a break from composing for the night to convey something a bit brighter on this new Elite Gymnastics remix. Out soon on RUIN 3.

Quite possibly the coolest music video ever shot. The Cure’s Robert Smith + Siouxsie’s Steven Severin play an inviting instrumental in 1983.

Download it:

The Glove – A Blues in Drag

p.s. vimeo apparently doesn’t believe that archiving rare and beautifully shot music videos is a just use of their services so they took the liberty of deleting all of knowphases classic series. Watch this while you can!

Have fun trying to get this song out of your head over the weekend. So insanely addicting, all you need. Recommended if you liked that Robert Palmer track:

Yosui Inoue – Senaka Made 45-fun [1982]

Listened to enough early eighties Japanese adult contemporary this week to last me for quite awhile but this Yosui Inoue track was a worthy payoff.

Finally, sunsets have always been a bit more revealing at the end of the weekend. Look for Future Hymns return this Sunday at sundown.

Another track to file under album cover does a better job describing the sounds within than words could describe.

A new idea from Know Phase and Haussmann. A song for the sunset each week. No articles to sort through or play buttons to find, just expect immediate satisfaction: Future Hymns. Now featuring Know Phases favorite song uncovering of the year, Joan Armatrading’s 1981 celestial ballad “Only One.” Future Hymns will be updated every Friday.

While his duet with Grimes garnered a lot of fanfare, the lead off track to Majical Cloudz II brings Devon Welsh closer to the foreground and reveals just how capable he is playing solo. This track really deserves some more attention:

The healing powers of Bernard Sumner (Joy Division/New Order), Johnny Marr and Neil Tennant (Pet Shop Boys) combine in the late eighties to form everything you could never expect. It’s Winter:

Electronic – Second to None [1991]

B_Side to feel every beat. Their peak

Electronic – Feel Every Beat [1991]

More representative of their overall sound, just listen past Summer’s rap. The keys and outro..so so good.

Electronic - Lean to the Inside [1991]

Eat yr heart out James Ferraro. 2nd B_Side to feel every beat

Colin Newman’s solo output is largely and criminally overlooked. After exhausting the Wire discography and generally being more fond of their more melodic moments his solo explorations throughout the 80′s are something of a godsend. Like any good solo undertaking, his best songs are found the deeper in you dig. I’ll never understand the phenomena, the only thing I can think of is that when those briefly cast aside peak creative moments occur they need just a bit longer to ruminate and by that time the record has been sent off. Like those same forces at play when your soon to be favorite album doesn’t make complete sense at first but leaves you longing for it all the same.

Colin Newman - We Means, We Starts [1982]

One of his more optimistic tracks, I think it’s my favorite song he’s ever done. It also just happens to be one of his hardest songs to find.

Colin Newman – Feigned Hearing [1986]

Colin Newman – It Seems [1988]

Colin Newman – Truculent Yet [1982]
