Well, you could find one in my closet, but then I'd have to kill you ;-)

Funny that you mentioned BEF, I was going to post about "Music For Stowaways"
myself while that thread was still going but it slipped my mind. (I can
still remember Paul Morley's NME singles review where his 2 Singles of The
Week were "Fascist Groove Thang" and New Order's "Ceremony", in which he
described going down to Heaven to see New Order and bursting into tears ... )
One problem with this thread is that once you get beyond the obvious, the
titles and artists tend to slip out of the memory banks. (Anyone ever
heard of Slava Ranko?) Back then, as now, a lot of great music came out
that no one ever heard about. I get depressed reading sm@4thworld's posts,
there's probably hundreds upon hundreds of worthy releases that slip through
our collective hands, to be lost to the sands of time.
Oh yeah, great electronica releases of 1981 ... let me add the first Chris
and Cosey album.
