Way back in the 90's, getting New Wave CD's was not an easy task like it is now with sites like ebay, Amazon, Gemm and Musicstack. I had to order some of these from sellers in Record Collector magazine and catalogs like the Eil record catalog. It would be no problem if I was in the USA or UK, but I am in the Philippines! There is that lingering thought that what I ordered might get lost or stolen in the postal system. Nevertheless, I had lots of fun hunting down some of my music collection. Some of these are posted below:
Item #1 : The Wild Swans - Space Flower
A great follow up to the Warner debut "Bringing Home The Ashes". Although Jeremy Kelly was not in this recording, it is pretty good. Tracks like "Sea Of Tranquility" and "Space Flower" seems to hint that Paul Simpson is already planning to form his ambient project - Skyray. My first copy was the one without a punch hole. The two with punch holes I got later on during the 2000's.
Item #2 : 16 Tambourines - How Green Is Your Valley
Local radio station NU107 got me curious about this album. They played "Bathed In The Afterglow" and "How Green Is Your Valley" in 1988-1989. Years later in 1995-1996, I bougth this CD from one of the sellers in Record Collector magazine.
Item #3 : The Adventures - Broken Land (3" CD Single)
I bought this single because of the acoustic version which is seldom heard. I like the way the version faded into the background while the drums are just starting to play. A good remix would probably begin with the acoustic version and then at the chorus, the original studio version would come in.
