Mon, 24 September 2007  A while back I discovered The Particles, a devilishly twee pop band that recorded in Sydney during the late 70's and early 80's. One of their songs had been released on the compilation "Can't Stop It : Australian Post Punk '78-82" and I had to have more. It seemed there was merely one soul in all the universe that had a lead on the Particles' catalog of recordings. So with much thanks to the awesome Roger Griffin I would like to share the following MP3 recordings with you fine lot.The band had 3 EP's. "Colour In" [1980] 1. Driving Me 2. Apricot's Dream 3. Zigzag "Advanced Colouring" [1981] 1. Truth About You 2. Bits of Wood 3. Remington Rand "I Luv Trumpet" [1982] 1. The Trumpet Song 2. Dresses and Shoes 3. Observations And they also recorded a superbly energetic live set for Triple JJJ Radio in Australia that is pompously beautiful and explodes beyond their twee sound and is a true gem of a session. 1982 The Wireless Studio 221, 2JJJ-FM. 1. introduction 2. Truth About You 3. Walking Talking 4. conversation 5. Bits of Wood 6. Remington Rand 7. The Trumpet Song Category: Shared Music -- posted at: 11:49 AM Comments[1] |
