POINT FINAL

LTM is pleased to present the first CD release by cult Belgian cold wave band Isolation Ward, featuring classic song Lamina Christus. Formed in Brussels in 1979, Isolation Ward centred around musicians Stéphane Willocq and Jean-Pierre Everaerts. Following gigs at venues such as Plan K, the sextet recorded haunting classic Lamina Christus as their first single, produced by Peter Principle of Tuxedomoon, and released by Les Disques du Crépuscule in April 1982. Following live dates with diverse artists including The Birthday Party, Antena, 23 Skidoo and Siouxsie and the Banshees, the band released their second Crepuscule single Absent Heart a year later. However line-up changes always troubled the band, and Isolation Ward played their final gig in May 1983. Point Final features all tracks from the Crepuscule singles as well as tracks from the cassette album Point de Départ. The booklet features archive images and detailed sleevenotes. The CD runs for 71 minutes. *Tracklist: 1. LAMINA CHRISTUS 2.55 2. BABES AND SUCKLINGS (A LULLABY) 3.50 3. DEADLOCK 3.16 4. HOPE AND DESPAIR 2.13 5. ILLUSIONS 2.40 6. MEAT IN MOTION 3.35 7.
