Factory Benelux presents a deluxe double vinyl edition of Swimming, the debut album by Belgian new wave group The Names, originally issued in June 1982.
Between 1979 and 1982 The Names recorded a string of excellent records for Factory, Factory Benelux and Les Disques du Crépuscule, all helmed by legendary producer Martin Hannett.
Recorded at Strawberry Studios in Manchester, Swimming has come to be regarded as a European cold wave classic, combining strong songwriting from Michel Sordinia and poised, tasteful delivery by guitarist Marc Deprez and keyboards player Christophe Den Tandt.
Bonus tracks include the popular singles Calcutta, Nightshift, The Astronaut and Spectators Of Life, and the band's John Peel session from February 1982, the first ever recorded by a Belgian band. The gatefold sleeve also features original artwork and poster design by Benoit Hennebert, and photographs by Marc Portée.
DUE OUT: FEBRUARY 11 2013.

Warning, this is an attack, Warning!!!!
2/1/13 is the release date for the new Noisuf-X Album Warning. The night is silent, but you HAVE TO dance, this and no other way it'll be when WARNING rocks your ear canals. ProNoize's figure head arises all-out mercyless once again- 13 Electro/Industrial hits (including Tinnitus 2K13) know no mercy.
BE PREPARED.
Dirk Da Davo aka Neon Electronics (or aka the half of The Neon Judgement) wishes you healt, luck and money in 2013. But also music! And therefore he gives you a free download which you can grab here.
Anywave records would like to submit the last release of French postwave group A V G V S T, "Onlooker", on theirr indie micro label Anywave (theyre based in Tours and Paris, France).
This is a 6-tracks album, composed of long running atmospheric songs, sometimes in an electronic style, sometimes more into shoegazing.
The band is mainly influenced by artists like My Bloody Valentine, Disco Inferno, New Order, early WARP Recs releases, and very interested in minimal synthwave, serial music.
Superior Viaduct also re-releases the famous debut by noisemakers 100 Flowers
100 Flowers (previously known as The Urinals) were a power trio whose sole 1983 album is an enduring document of the Southern California underground.
100 Flowers crafted a sound that rests between the inspired bursts of The Minutemen, pastoral jangle of the Dream Syndicate and oblique approach of Monitor and The Gun Club. The trio wielded a gripping visual aesthetic and hyper-literate lyrical content that reflected their art-school backgrounds, while a ferocity borne out of their bleak urban environment permeates their songs.
Now this album from 1983 is for the very first time reissued.
For fans of The Urinals, The Minutemen, Sonic Youth, Desperate Bicycles
