thanks to DIMENEW for this really fine recording, done some 26+ years
ago. A bit of annoying audience chatter, but the music is well captured!

The
brainchild of Mr. Rodney Orpheus, the Cassandra Complex were one of the
first bands of the gothic electronic underground in the mid to late
80's. Their music was strongly
influenced by german electronica of
the 70's, as well as occult lyrical themes. The band is still active
today, just have annouced a tour in November 2012, which will lead them
-
at least - to Hamburg, Berlin, Leipzig and Prague. More dates are
likely to be added... I remember I liked their 1988 album, and the song
DEFCON1 was a huge success on the
independent dancefloors at that
time. Did see them once around that time at Osnabrueck's fomous (old)
Hyde Park, but the show was far too loud and the songs were played at
almost
twice the speed of the vinyl. I left during the show...
Anyway, nothing of that can be heard on this recording (though I guess
it was loud!), and I know you will enjoy some early
Cassandra Complex...SB.
