INDIANS IN MOSCOW-BIG WHEEL 12", 1983, U.K.
Sure this UK synthpop unit would quickly move into territory outside our remit here on MS and indeed, the first two cuts suggest the commercial new wave-y path they'd shortly trod, but stick with it and you'll soon be duly rewarded with two top notch electro-pop gems in an early Human League-meets-Siouxsie And The Banshees mode that you'll have difficulty prying from your memory banks.
Note: links pulled as this is due for reissue very shortly.

Totally agree. The last two tracks are gems. What a great find (Don't mind the first one either).
Thanks! And may I add that this is one of the best blogs I have ever encountered? It sure is!
Thanks! My spidey sense is tingling.

You say 'Siouxsie meets Human League'. Well, I saw them at the Marquee (London) in '83 (or maybe even '82) and the crowd was definitely on the Goth side. I seem to recall the singer, Adele, was sporting a look more like Anja from X-Mal Deutschland than the new romantic stylings seen in the publicity photos at the (excellent) website (and I mean that as a compliment!). Nice to see them remembered.
