PATRICK BURKE-SILENCE AND TIMING, LP, 1981, USA


This fantastic and very obscure private press oddity is a solo outing from a member of the cult post punk unit Parasites Of The Western World. Silence And Timing may refrain from some of the balls out avant rock maneuvers heard on POTWW's recently reissued album on Destijl, but it's a knockout in its own less overt way; Burke's idiomatic boundary blur in this instance being between dreamy psych and melancholic post punk, with passing overtones of both Brian Sands and Gignoux's The Broadway Boys, though this has got a darker overall cast than either of those.

    I'm a minute into first tune, and it is effin great. It reminds me of stuff, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Kind of like Big Star mixed with Bowie. In an hour I'll have a better comparison. Thanks again.

    I have a request I guess only could fulfill: The 7" EP "Just Ask Nick Ayling" including "I ate my arm" by Pop Parker. Any chance?

    Buna Seara!
    Eu sunt Vlad, unul dintre membri Radio Whisper - un radio antimanele dedicat bloggerilor şi nu numai.

    The vocals are a bit Eric Clapton-ish at times, but the music itself is incredibly solid... Reminds me a bit of 70s library music at times. Thanks for uploading this!

    yo mutant sounds

    just passing through your superb blog to put in a request, would you have access to Laser Pace's "Granfalloon" album at all??

    all i have heard is a snippet of the track "Avatar" and it has wet my whistle so to speak, i'd dearly like to hear it all before deciding if i'll buy it or not........

    i also think other members of your readership may well be as interested as i.........

    nice one, be good

    Hey Just wondering how I can contact the owner of the site. I was wondering if you have any more Emerald Web Albums or know where to find some that would be great.

    Thanks

    Well I'm on about track 6 of the album and have decided it's a flippin masterpiece. Completely unique. Strange and hazy. A bit like classic mid 70s Eno but with a mad new wave psych pop bent. Essential stuff.
    Love the website by the way.
