Short info:
CCCVVV is the Brussels based duo of Clara Vellin and soFa elsewhere. The first Covid-lockdown drew these two old friends closer and both a love-story and burst of musical creativity followed.
A wide-eyed electronic record wearing its heart on an innersleeve, Curriculum Vitae chases after no real genre, preferring a very personal colour and style of its own. Music and passion entwined, it has resulted in this collection of intimate avant-pop-oddities. The album collects whispers of 60's chanson and psyched out chords, holding a playful spirit throughout.
Through the genre-no-genre approach, Curriculum Vitae distills down to a vital essence, constantly flirting with smartly infused elements from the past/present for the head, heart and feet.
Highlights include a dreamy version of Nancy & Lee's 'Some Velvet Morning' alongside the acidic slow-mo hypnotics of 'Ritmo Denso'. 'Generationen' floats on a pillow of sonic bliss, while 'Alla Porta Subito's vocal and instrument interplay slinks closer to outer-planetary italo-reggae.
C.V.'s production wanders along a retro-futuristic approach throughout, its punkish attitude dancing between an embrace of the modern and a more naive pop-arrangement approach. Along this 37 minute journey the sweet and dark sides of a lifetime are witnessed, light organic harp marries refreshingly to carefully chosen synthesizers. Whimsical lyrics meet with melancholic composition.
Clara Vellin is a classical harp player active in a variety of eclectic musical projects.
soFa, known for his highly acclaimed series of the eclectic "elsewhere" compilations, & productions such as Mameen 3, Nyati Mayi and collab with legendary Turkish drummer Okay Temiz & Houschyar on Music From Memory/Second Circle.

B5- Ballare- Dancing
Short info:
Strangelove's personal Inventory of NZ 1980's odd pop; 'Kiwi Animals' recasts the local charts in a parallel universe of misfit melodics, gonzo-tronics & strange waves. Channelling South Pacific voodoo and edge of world melancholia, the album highlights electronic tangents from iconic NZ groups Blam Blam Blam & Headless Chickens. It dredges the cassette revelations of art avante-gardists' Drone & Kim Blackburn, alongside bittersweet moments from Rupert & Norma O'Malley. There's the infectious minimal wave of Ballare and a reprised electro-boogie dance suite (?!) from Tom Ludvigson & Graeme Gash. The furthest depths of Flying Nun's catalog are also plundered- a brilliant earworm from Stiff Herbert and a mysterious "Roger" Knox birthday promo. Mining disparate seams of a local indie label awakening, the various tangents of 'Kiwi Animals' congeal with a future/primitive sensibility and an underlying Antipodean mischievousness…

Kosmische music lands amongst leftfield club krypton as our crew collaborate with young space cadets.

B1- Loveroom
B2- Tenderloin

Short info:
"Echoes" is the Ethno-Wave love child of collaborators Frank Harris & Maria Marquez. A collection of sublime songs dating back to '85, avante-pop flourishes are married here to the heart strings of a synthetic Amazon- think MFM's "Outro Tempo" meets a tropical Sade. With much contemporary interest in South American electronic music, Echoes is a window into two musicians prescient dreamings of tradition, melody & technology.
Revelling in the embrace of Maria's Venezuelan roots & folklore visions combined with Frank's custom Synclavier synth station, songs such as 'Canto Del Pílon' and 'Tonada de Ordeño' resonate with a charged future/primitive electricity, Maria's song-to-a-siren vocals mainline with Frank's lush sonic alchemy.
Heavy weight 180gram pressing, mastered for vinyl by George Horn @ Fantasy plus 2 sided full size insert
Vital Sales Points:
Follow up to Strangelove's previous releases- Lena d'Água ?- Jardim Zoológico 12" & Arvo - Bikini 12"

Romie Singh - B2 Credo
A short sharp 3 track jolt into the trio's cult 80's catalog.
Tracklist:
Romie Singh- Dancing to Forget E.P
A1 Dancing to Forget
B1 Future World
B2 Credo
Short info:
Proto-future Pop exhumed from '86, Romie Singh's 'Dancing to Forget', could easily be mistaken for an up-to-the minute R&B instrumental from '22. The song's elastic swing reminiscent of a vintage Wally Badarou Compass Point session. Instead masterminded by studio maestros Günther Janssen (more lately of Donna Regina) & Peter Hantke, while Romie's vocals soar above. It's a timeless call to escape life's ill's via the dancefloor.
Collected here on Strangelove the cavernous, dubbed out 'D.T.F.' (12" version) sits alongside the prescient hope/dystopia of LP cut 'Future World' (cue Covid World) and the killer balearic-beat sass of 'Credo' A short sharp 3 track jolt into the trio's cult 80's catalog. Shouts to Basso for the original resuscitation!

B5 Open It Up
B6 Destiny
Occupying its own hinterland within Scandinavia's early 80s electronic/progressive move-ments, 'Mindgames' navigates a lifetime of musical and personal exploration by Sjunne Fer-ger. Child jazz drummer prodigy, arts venue operator, music teacher and Aikido practition-er, a bewildering array of personal & creative influences are distilled into the Örebro native's only long player. Written around a new wave context, his own jazz fusion roots and at times with an unintentionally balearic outcome, Sjunne goes some way to conjuring up a singular sounding album of the time.
Narratives of love and loss, calls to self-empowerment and mindfulness, the new age zeal throughout follows Sjunne's own awakening. Its music caught in meditative reflection one moment before propelling into ecstatic revelation the next, with Sjunne's collective 'Exit' providing electric backing throughout. Propelled by the Drummer's beat, its hard not to be caught up with Sjunne's personal vision of a 'Polymood Music'

Painstakingly transferred and fully remastered from the original tapes, with new liner notes and photography. Mindgames follows Strangelove's previous issue of Sjunne's early singles and soundtrack work on "Childrens Mind" (SL106)

Short info:
A sonic clash of Tropical, On-U and Eastern proportions, t-woc drops 6 tracks of dope sound system bashment for Strangelove. Informed by Mick's musical wanderlust and prolific digging, Pantangle deftly blends a mélange of influences where Caribbean steel drum, Anatolian melodies and the sounds of the Maghreb all float through the mix.
Like his work for Macadam Mambo/ Emotional Response- its a sound hard to pin down and all woven into a heady brew percolating somewhere in the dance-floor twilight zone. With early works created pre-lockdown at an artist residency in The Dock in County Leitrim, the heads down groove of 'Crazy Bronco' & 'Goddy' don't sound out of place with an early 90's Uk bass culture. Elsewhere the deeper cuts rub against a little sunshine as the late night swing of Midnight Magic riffs off Junior Delgado's roots classic.
With killer artwork c/o Marius Houschyar Strangelove is super stoked to release this collection of outernational rhythms from the Irish vinyl wallah, mix engineer and producer

B3 Destiny (Alt.)
B4 Candlelight (Alt.)
Short info: From his 'FAT' Studio near the central Swedish town of Örebro, Sjunne Ferger crafted a small but radical legacy of genre bending music. With an open minded 'anything goes' attitude born from his jazz roots, compiled here are songs charting a transition from fusion beginnings via his debut 7" with group 'Exit' through to a more blissful synthetic sound palette. Across the album's 7 songs Sjunne's heady musical optimism aspired to an aesthetic that moved freely between drum machines & synths to more organic instrumentation with rich arrangements never losing sight of a light ethereal feel.
Hypnotic ambient pieces written for short film swirl amongst the electronic & electrified- unreleased versions of 'Destiny' and 'Candlelight' hint at his sound to come, while the album culminates in the highlights 'Night Rituale' and 'Childrens Mind' -Intoxicating mixes of Sjunne's influences & inspiration, they unknowingly hint at Mkwaju Ensemble and other key Japanese contemporaries, and bear witness to the Swede's deep Eastern philosophical outlook. Retaining his own unique sound throughout, 'Childrens Mind' is a primer for Sjunne Ferger's 'Mindgames' LP reissued on Strangelove later in 2021.

Short info: Johanna Pigott's Scribble project floated through the airwaves Down Under during the first years of the 80's, gathered here is a succinct collection of her dreamy electronic pop from that era. There's an enigmatic feel woven throughout, songs such as "River" set sail on an imagined Antipodean Balearic vibe, while blissful end-of-nighter "Mother of Pearl" would likely get DJ Harvey in a spin. 'The Party' poignantly mulls missing the big night out, while "Mr Calico' navigates spooked out noir before the eerie synth-waves of "B4" (rearranged by local maestro Hysteric)

Short info:
Strangelove is proud to present the first ever reissue of 'Syguira Lady', an eerie and absorbing ride through the rich imagination of enigmatic Osaka group Viola Renea. While riding the current interest in Japanese music, the album remains an anomaly to much of the local music of the time. Juxtaposing ancient/modern sources of sonic inspiration, North England's new musical movements collide with Eastern European folk rhythms, while oriental scales slide amongst wavey-electronic instrumentation. The resultant musical dreamscapes sought to conjure themes of noir & seduction, recurrent in the period's techno-pop. Kuki Imamura described the album as the sound of unknown memories with aural visions & strange musical loves coalescing around a femme fatale; 'Syguirian Lady'

Short info:
Strangelove's latest release turns left somewhere near the edge of the Atlantic, with Electricidade Estética" documenting a vibrant window into the musical landscape of 1980's counter-culture Portugal. Compiling early un-issued works, DWART's organic Ash-Ra Balearics meld with spikey Iberian electronics, coalescing around the floating beauty of 'Mate', reissued for the first time on vinyl.
With emergent music technologies of the era enthusiastically adopted by Lisbon's avante-garde, there was a collective desire by DWART and their contemporaries to push existing sonic boundaries;- Post new wave sounds melded with distinctive local sensibilities. Vítor Rua & Jorge Lima Barreto of the legendary Telectu (whom Antoñio currently tours with) were regular collaborators while composer/ guitarist Nuno Rebelo and guitarist/singer Bernardo Devlin feature throughout.
Antoñio & Manuela Duarte's search for an artistic language melded a continuing curiosity with aural and physical dualities: experimental pop integrated with performance art, mathematics sound-tracked on canvas, organic found sounds at ease alongside synthetic drum machines. The 9 songs found here document the early emergence of their own 'Electricidade Estética'
(Big shouts to Invisible Cities & Steele Bonus- early champions of 'Mate')

B2. So Deep- Instrumental mix by Hysteric
Shortinfo:
For its second release, Strangelove resurrects two cuts from the Australian cult synth pop duo, ARVO's, much-mythologised 1984 album "Luna". Having spent time in Europe and with heads & hearts?full of the continent's synth-pop movements, Deborah Gray and Roy Nicolson each returned Down-under to discover?a doggedly rock orientated landscape. Finding solace in Roy's studio and inspired by their musical O.E.'s, the ARVO concept was formed and an album took shape. A glamorous visual/electronic opus, major label misjudgment and local bewilderment left 'Luna' to unjustly slip under the radar.
Rescued here, "Bikini" channels an Ipanema electronic vibe, nostalgically recalling Antipodean beach culture while the synthetic undercurrents of?"So Deep" reflect on the nature of our dreams. Also presented is a reimagined "So Deep'' instrumental from Australia's synth pop scholar-in-chief Hysteric, while French M.O.T.M. Shelter tailors Bikini into an excursion version.

Repress 12" of this CULT Release with Original Sleeve, NEW cheaper Price, NEW 140g Vinyl Pressing
Tracklist
A1. Jardim Zoológico B1. Tao
Shortinfo:
Strangelove Music isdelighted to present its first project, two songs from Lena d'Água, one of Portugal's great musical acts of the early 1980's.
Combining a siren presence and soaringvocalsalong side songwriter Luis Fonseca and backing band Atlântida, they released a series of records that wove through the avante-pop sensibilities of the time.Collected here are two of their more leftfield moments;
'Jardim Zoológico' is a beguiling mix of new wave, post punk and dub into a short sharp pop format, impossible to properly categorize, the dynamic composition sounding as fresh now as it did 35years ago.
On the flipside, the calmer 'Tao' takes Fonseca's keyboards towards more eastern territory, conjuring up a dreamy synthesized new age vibe. Lena's beautiful fado hued notes hang poignantly across bothsongs. Beautifully re-mastered by reissue specialist Peter Beckmann
Vital Sales Points:
- Debuted on Tim Sweeney's Beats in Space radio show & tastemakers Stamp the Wax and Dream Chimney, test pressing distributed among the Balearic mafia, Moonboots/ Phil Mison, Hunee etc
-Support from key tastemaker retailers including Redlight Records, Growing Bin, Organic Japan, Piccadilly etc
