"Don't let it be so" (MP3, 3.5 MB)

A wonderful new wave piece by people who must have listened to The Cure and New Order a lot. To me, the singer sounds European but not English. Taped off French radio around 1991.

"Neighbours" (MP3, 2.1 MB)

Taped off French radio around 1985. The singer sounds USian.
