Clock DVA – The Future & Radiophonic Dvations: Horology 2 (2015)

Germany's Vinyl on Demand are on a roll in recent months, thanks to a string of valuable reissues and mouth-watering special editions, such as this latest juggernaut from legendary industrial band, Clock DVA. In case you weren't aware, the outfit were a Sheffield-based post-punk band who later branched out into early forms of techno and the like, but this anthology actually predates those years and takes a look back at the band's formations. Inside, you'll find a collection of recordings by Adi Newton made between 1976 and 1977, and also the Future recordings, the trio made up of Newton, Martyn Ware and Craig Marsh before they developed into Clock DVA. FYI Future pretty much invented synth-pop, it begins and possibly even ends with these guys. This is an essential piece of vinyl.
