Viva! - Dreams Be Quiet! LP

Posted on blogs before but bX-59cppw asked me for a high quality rip so here it is.
'Dreams Be Quiet' is Viva!'s third album; first on wellknown label Unition (Holy Toy, Fra Lippo Lippi, ...) and also the first where they switched from their native language to English.
You can grab their two other albums on this blog. I agree with the writing there. Viva! took influences of Simple Minds and Ultravox and created moody wave. It sounds quite accessible but I like the atmosphere on the album.
Viva! released a fourth album 'A Rainbow At The Edge Of The Shadow' in 1987 and then disappeared.

Film De Guerre -s/t LP

Postpunk band from Switzerland. And guessing from the titles, they came from the French-speaking part.
Can't find a lot of info but two members were in punkband Technycolor that released two 7"s.
Three songs were released on 12" with an almost identical sleeve (posted on Weird Cheese in 2008 but link is dead).
A very interesting record which gets hard-to-find these days.

Leitmotiv - Carress & Curse 12" Mini-Album

My own rip of this rare 12" album of UK band Leitmotiv. Got this one a few months ago for a very reasonable price.
Leitmotiv were a synthy goth band from Bradford. They released two 7"s in the same period, one on punk label PAX (Silent Run / Living On A Tin) and on Anti-System's label Reconciliation (To The Suffering).
Leitmotiv did two 12"s after these that sound a bit more poppy: the 'Say Remain' 12" in 1985 on Cryptic Records and 'Big Money' 12" in 1986 on Ediesta (posted here before).
Paragon was a short-lived label with interesting and collectible releases of In The Nursery, Siglo XX and Biting Tongues.
Still wonder why there's no re-release of Leitmotiv. This mini-album and the two singles would make a great album.

Month Of Sundays - Hard World 7"

Another gift from bX-59cppw.
Pretty obscure goth 7" from UK band Month Of Sundays. Not a lot to add. The songs are quite long and being pressed on the 7" format, the sound is overall quite muddy. Should've sound better on 12" I suppose.

Colours - Dierdre Is An Artist 7"

Another gift by bX-59cppw.
Cool DIY UK new wave/postpunk. Title track appears on one of the UK Messthetics comp. CDR series.
Not a lot of info on them. Simon Matthews was in the Rest before and took most songs from that band to the Colours.

A Reprisal - Child / Hybrid 7"

Pretty obscure UK post-punk/goth 7". Not a lot known about A Reprisal. Formed by Martin Jackson in 1983. There's also a demo recorded before this 7" with a different line-up.
A Reprisal played with Play Dead and Southern Death Cult.
Posted on Return To The East before, but here's a 320kbps rip from my own copy. A bit of crackling on the end of 'Child' that I couldn't remove. Otherwise a very clean copy.

Westdeutsche Christen - s/t LP

Second release of Berlin's Joy Division influenced Westdeutsche Christen. Their first one is a 12" 'Lass Mich Nicht Allein' released by the band themselves in 1980. Has some minimalist punkwave tracks on it but sounds quite unfinished. This album is way better in my opinion.
This album was released in 1982 on Good Noise, a label some people will know from some of the Leningrad Sandwich records.
Posted on Brotbeutel before (thanks for introducing me to this), and higher quality rip thanks to bX-59cppw.

Link provided to those who like the flac format. Can't convert wav to flac on my pc for the moment, so I had to burn to cdr and then rip it using FreeRip. Hope everything worked fine.
