THE HOUSE OF LOVE were one of the most successful and critically acclaimed bands to grace Creation Records back in the late 1980s.

Their eponymous debut album was cited as one of the best albums of 1988 by music magazines and Indie fans alike. It has been out-of-print on CD for some time now.

This deluxe edition of THE HOUSE OF LOVE offers the band’s complete Creation recordings from 1987-1988, together with a raft of previously unissued bonus material.

The package boasts all their Creation Records singles, from the original version of ‘Shine On’, ‘Real Animal’ and the US favourite ‘Christine’ (which reached #8 in the Modern Rock chart there) to their final single for the label, ‘Destroy The Heart’.

Disc 3 is devoted to nineteen hitherto unheard HOUSE OF LOVE demos, including two exclusive Guy Chadwick songs ‘Hold On Me’ and ‘Modern World’, which were never released!

Also making their debut on CD is the rare 7” album freebie (two demos) and the ‘Flexidisc’ version of ‘Shine On’, together with Guy’s original demo of this song which eventually gave them a sizeable hit.

This 3-CD package is housed in a stylish Digipak with fresh sleeve-notes and rare images from the band’s photographer Suzie Gibbons.

Release Date: 26/11/2012

MED (M∃D), the Belgian electro band composed of Jean-Marc M. (also in Modern Cubism) and Bernard F. (also in Combat Voice) have just announced that they have reached an end. It seems that Jean-Marc M. is more and more involved in Modern Cubism (together with Jean-Luc De Meyer) and Bernard F. in Combat Voice (with Richard G), which makes it "impossible for them to continue with so many hours of work in reasonable conditions". The duo has thus decided to stop here and would like to "thank their friends and fans for your support them during these four years".

We will of course keep following Jean-Marc and Bernard in their respective projects.

The information had leaked via the Facebook page of Animal Bodies but now, it's official: a Snowy Red tribute album is in the process of being produced.

Here are some names involved: VIOLET TREMORS, MUSHY, BESTIAL MOUTHS, ANIMAL BODIES, LED ER EST, MIRROR MIRROR, MEDDICINE, BRIGHT FUTURE, REVELATOR (formerly WHITE HORSE), EBOLA COLLECTIVE, STRANGE POWERS and a few more.

Snowy Red was a one-man minimal wave/synth band out of Belgium consisting of former Chainsaw (~1976) and Fame (~1978) member, Micky Mike (real name: Marcel Thiel). He died aged 52 in 2009.

Going strong for about 35 years now, Tuxedomoon have a whole history of music under their belt. They hail from San Francisco and after moving to Rotterdam in 1980, they worked in a wide range of media while living in Brussels in the 80's. After a hiatus in the 90's, they released a new album in 2004 "Cabin in the Sky". They didn't play live that many times in the Netherlands, so this is your chance! Tickets are 20 euro in presale and doors open at 20:00, the band starts a half hour later...
