Pioneering synthpunks NAKED LUNCH were at the forefront of the UK electronic music scene in 1979. La Femme appeared on the infamous and influential Some Bizzare album alongside tracks by Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, B Movie, The The and Blancmange.
Fade Away, recorded at Abbey Road studios, was released on the Silly Not To Terpsichore compilation, and the single Rabies gathered critical acclaim but was banned from daytime radio play. With a major label deal awaiting, Naked Lunch split.
In May 2012 the original members returned, and have been working on new material. This is the first time this classic track has been available digitally.
A limited edition 4-track EP will be available at REPRODUKTION 13.
It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days.
Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago. modestwriggles
