CLOUDS DISCO (7I, RSD 2015, LTD 500 COPIES)

Factory Benelux presents Clouds Disco b/w The Sun Is a Star, the brand new single by The Wake, issued in a limited edition of just 500 copies to mark Record Store Day in April 2015 Taken from recent ˜best of™ album Testament, Clouds Disco was produced by the group with Ian Catt (St Etienne, Field Mice). šThese recordings were made during sessions for the A Light Far Out album,› says singer/guitarist Caesar. šClouds Disco is about the burgeoning Glasgow music scene of the early 1980s and our perceived place within it. The idea was to capture a little bit of the atmosphere of the time for the present day, rather than be nostalgic. Clouds Disco was an actual venue, later renamed Satellite City, which in turn became the title of an early Orange Juice song.› Flipside The Sun Is a Star is exclusive to this 7› single, and will not be made available elsewhere. The cover art for FBN 94 is based on an original design by Peter Saville for a cassette edition of 1985 Factory album Here Comes Everybody. Praise for Testament: šStretches from 1981, when frontman Gerard 'Caesar' McInulty left Altered Images, right up to the present day, with Clouds Disco an unexpected treat› (Uncut); šThe Wake recorded for Factory, of course, but also for the almost-as-cult Sarah Records. Clouds Disco is almost delicious› (Classic Pop); šClouds Disco is a late-period gem› (AllMusic Guide) Tracklisting : 1. Clouds Disco 2. The Sun is a Star
