Time for some Japanese coldwave! Funeral Party released only this 7″ in 1986 (this song is the B-Side), plus some tracks on the “vision of the emotion” compilation (1985), both under Pafe Records.
Cover art is drawn by Suehiro Mauro, a famous mangaka known for his sadic-erotic-psycological-plain psycho aesthetics.
Enjoy!

This is one of the most delicate love songs ever written…the band released only an album “are you really satisfied?” in 1993, with a very strong bluesy hendrixian sound.
Lyrics:
It’s hard to say that I really love you
’cause I gambled with love before
I took my chances, lost too many wars and grew tired of all the pain
But I’m reaching now from the inside, it’s getting easier with you
I cry with you, I sing to you, getting behind these walls
I believe in faith, I trust in you, softly I fall
I remember when we first sat alone
Your eyes saw through me
You smiled and said no need to run, take your time, take it slow
So I’m reaching out on the inside and it’s getting easier with you
I cry with you, I sing to you, getting behind these walls
I believe in faith, I trust in you, softly I fall
I know that hardest stone can crumble
The softest word can cause a rumble
I cry with you, I sing to you, getting behind these walls
I believe in faith, I trust in you, softly I fall
Softly I fall, softly I fall…

Funeral Parade is one the most interesting bands in the renaissance of the death rock / post punk movement. This track is the last one from their 2010 demo, released on tape. Their sound is a very interesting mix of Bauhaus, Killing Joke and dirty punk attitude. Enjoy!

Time for one of the best 69 eyes tune ever from what I consider their best album, Savage Garden.
The sound is a very well thought mix of The Cult from their dark years and energetic sleazy rock. The result is a romantic and very powerful song!
Enjoy!

After a while, I’ve written a new review…it’s for a 12″ by an obscure ’80s Japanese band, the Zolge, which proposed a very interesting and personal mix of new wave. punk, hardcore and dark melodies.
Read the review (with more information on the band as well) here
In the last months, some more material from the legendary UK goth band Rosegarden Funeral has surfaced from the depths of the net.
It’s a CD-R with a lot of unreleased demo tracks: four of them are from the early demo that I’ve reviewed here, the others are unreleased material.
This is one of their best songs. Enjoy!
