THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT - s/t (1983)

i was listening to one of my favorite records of all time a lot in recent weeks, and thus decided to share it with you. it's the debut record of THIS KIND OF PUNISHMENT. TKP was formed by Peter and Graeme Jefferies following the end of NOCTURNAL PROJECTIONS. there were a lot of great bands in new zealand in the 80s such as DADAMAH or THE TERMINALS - but this record here is in my humble opinion the finest of the darkest.

after years of silence, the sound of roy montgomery left its den. torlesse super group. hey badfinger. and here comes dadamah. if i had to make my choices about the top-ten-records of the nineties, their one and only "this is not a dream" would surely be in the fore. these two tracks that were recently released on seven inch by liz harris could have been on it, too, since by 1992 they were banned on tape already. they didn't make it for reasons i don't know.
