General Strike



My Body (7", Canal, 1979, UK)

This project consisted of three experimental music figureheads-- David Cunningham (Flying Lizards, Piano Records, etc.), David Toop, and Steve Beresford. Two wonderfully brief avant-pop-dub tracks.

Gara



Manifest (8" EP, Explosion Records/Vital Plant Ltd., 1985, Japan)

Originally posted years back on the short-lived, Ghosts In The House. Unique & relentless dark postpunk/deathrock. This needed a repost.

Ekphrasis (cassette, La Légende Des Voix, 1989, France)

First release from Eric La Casa's La Légende Des Voix label. Great experimental/industrial.
