Experimental Products – Glowing In The Dark

I'd be very interested in hearing the sound quality of this compared to the tracks that were on Tracks To Glow In The Dark.

Can someone from VOD please assure us all that the master tapes were used for this transfer, and not low quality mp3 rips and / or vinyl rips?

28th January 2016 update:

I have received my copy of the reissue. Great sleeve, if a little intriguing as to why they changed the font. My copy has a card insert, I have #36.

The sound quality is superb. I have never heard the original vinyl, but this reissue sounds just as I expect it does. Big respect to Thomas Heckmann for his remastering.

The original sells in NM/NM for up to $500, so this reissue is even more essential.

It will become a rare item in itself, if all fans keep their copies!

Glowing In The Dark is undoubtedly a classic, but the b-sides are in my mind equally as good.

Love Changes has a distinct Italo vibe, with an irresistible chorus. Very cool, very sexy, very 1984 underground. There's none of the bombast you associate with the mid-80's here. No screaming diva female vocals, no overproduction, no saxophone solos. Just classy synth music, with an eye firmly on discos.

As for The Mannequin, well that's where things get REALLY interesting.

You're instantly hit with a staccato synth line along with some eerie pads, and then you drop into pure nightclub heaven. If I can dream a little, we're talking darkened warehouse rooms, slightly too cold and rather claustrophobic. Yellow strobelights flicker against the dark grey concrete walls & smoke machine, in time to the pulsating bassline. The dancers have no real connection. The boys are ice cold & handsome, the girls are distant & beautiful. Yet everything is in sync, thanks to MDMA.

Well, yeah. That's the image I get in my head when I listen to The Mannequin.

This is music that really touches my soul.

Classic masterpiece!

OLD-SKOOL! LOVE IT''

thanks carlitos llanos!

No words.

Unsure why this electro/wave classic hasn't been reviewed before now.
Obviously the choice cut on here is Glowing in The Dark, however this is a fantastic record with two other tracks that should not be under-estimated.
Mannequin is symbolic of the melodramatic synth visionaires; typically moody E.P, yet sprinkled with energetic, haunting vibes throughout.
I think Love Changes is the unsung hero here. Again, the moody melodrama, with tantelising sweet melodies, synth stabs a-go-go and a sing-along- chorus.
Well crafted perfectionism
