Absolute Body Control – Figures

Hailing from Belgium, Absolute Body Control is a synthpop duo of Dirk Ivens and Eric Van Wonterghem.  This track was taken from their 1983 full length of the same name. It’s synthpop with a bit of DIY punk feel to it — think Soft Cell-esque.  I fell for that lead synth in the chorus that rides behind the lyrics “What’s the name of the movie, figures are so groovy”.

Big Black Delta – It’s Ok

Big Black Delta is back with a powerful ELO-esque track titled, “It’s Ok”.  I’ll let the description from the soundcloud player fill in the back story on this track:

The song ‘It’s OK’ was inspired by a series of difficult events that occurred during the year after Jon completed his tour on BBDLP1, the last Big Black Delta record. This included losing his father to a stroke, finding that all of his gear was stolen, and losing one of his best friends to cancer. Since going public with some of this news, Bates has been inundated with incredible kindness and thoughtful support from friends, musicians, fans and strangers alike. This song is a thank you. A gesture of gratitude to everyone who has been kind — and to the universe itself.
