The 1981 Listening Post - Chris & Cosey - Heartbeat

 Chris & Cosey - Heartbeat


#537

November 14 1981

Chris & Cosey

Heartbeat

Genre: Electronic

3.5 out of 5



Highlights:

Put Yourself in Los Angeles

Morby




The first record I have to listen to after coming home from a Spring Break vacation is an aggressive electronic joint by ex-Throbbing Gristle members.

And it sounds like a missing Jean-Michel Jarre demo record but one he would make when he was really mad at his dad for not letting him help score The Sand Pebbles. 

It gets a little weirdly dance-y (“Bus Stop”) but for the most part it’s really just experimenting in making music with the emerging technology of the times.
There’s a hefty amount of ambience on this one but it’s all informed by gleeps and glitches that make JMJ fun for me. I will be adding some of these cuts to my electronic playlist.
