The 1985 Listening Post - Damon Edge - Alliance

Damon Edge - Alliance


#256/890
July 1 1985
Damon Edge
Alliance
Genre: electro
4.25 out of 5

Highlights:
Coming at La Mer to a World Left Behind

This is, basically, a Chrome album. It’s like Kraftwerk only more human. 
Pick a rhythm, play for 5 minutes, add music bed + vocals. 
But it’s ominous and driving and dank. It’s the soundtrack of a post-apocalypse 16mm film. It’s NY lower east side. 
I dig it. I wish Gary Numan has headed in this direction. And I also wish Edge got the credit he deserves. It’s obvious Marilyn Manson and Trent Reznor owned this record and others by Edge and Chrome.
