Obsession Whispers Into The Dark Progress

Siglo XX - Live Sides LP (1984)
[Antler ANT 031-2]

This is another forgotten band. Their sound is exquisitely unique. Someone pins them to the french cold-wave but to me they sounded like Siglo XX... (as Clan Of Xymox sounded like Clan Of Xymox back in 1985, and like other bands did sound like themselves). Besides that they were Belgian.
Belgian people, in general, and artists in particular, tend to be very true to themselves thus achieving really singular works. That's why they were ripped off by the spanish in the past and masochistically use spanish words today.
Well, I don't know who ripped these Belgians but He did good...
This is a live LP recorded early in their career. We could say that, as it was recorded and released way before their major three albums: Flowers For The Rebels (1987); Fear And Desire (1988) and Under A Purple Sky (1989)
Together with "Siglo XX" (mLP) [Antler ANT 031-1], Live Sides makes up the 1984 'Double Album' (2xLP) [Antler ANT 031] - The 5 tracks from "Siglo XX" can be found on the 1987 "Antler Tracks I" compilation CD [Antler ANT 087].
