Description
Welcome to the darkly enchanting minimal synth-pop and psych-tinged world of The Modern Art. As an introduction to the world of Coil and Current 93 collaborator Gary Ramon (Sun Dial) and his orbiting bandmates, you can't do better.
This remastered reissue of "Underwater Kites," their very first cassette album, originally released in 1982, includes five previously unissued tracks from that session--two of which are not on our recent sold-out LP reissue. Formed by Ramon in the early 1980's, Modern Art released two albums on vinyl, and a significant amount of impossible-to-find cassettes. Some of this material was compiled in a highly regarded 3-LP (sold out) boxset, made in 2013 by Vinyl on Demand.
On this album you will find examples of what was going on in England during the pinnacle of the post-punk scene--an inspired time that encouraged young musicians to develop music influenced by the likes of Joy Division, Cabaret Voltaire, Throbbing Gristle and Clock DVA.
