Passion Polka

about

PASSION POLKA was an electronic pop outfit founded by Steve Cottier (also in Scope, Xionics, Kinetics, Peep Show) and Keith Leary (also in Peep Show) in Liverpool, UK, presenting here four classic analogue electropop tracks from 1982/1983 in the vein of Camera Obscura, OMD or Oppenheimer Analysis, featuring the Roland TR-808 drum machine and a little armada of the usual synthesiser suspects made by ARP, Korg, Roland and Yamaha. They only released the impossible-to-find 'Obsession'/'Juliet' 7" single back in 1982 on their own Kinetic Rekords label. "Obsessions" and "Juliet" were recorded in Brighton in 1982 at the studios of Robin Scott and originally released as a 7" on Kinetic Rekords, KR01, in 1982. "Lying next to you" and "Fighting alone" were recorded at home in 1983 and are previously unreleased.
