Shoc Corridor- Experiments In Incest LP

Shoc Corridor are a very recent discovery of mine, and a pretty damn enjoyable listen. The band is a London based darkwave/minimal synth outfit who formed in 1982 and split only two years later, leaving behind two LPs and a handful of 12'' singles.

Though the band had several rotating members, it was mainly a studio project, core consisting of Andy Garnham and Paul O’Carroll. Original members Nogi Prass and Chris Davis left the band after their first 12'' due to visa problems. However, tracks these two recorded appeared on their first proper LP, 1983's Experiments in Incest (6 tracks long, it could be argued that it's a mini-LP, though each track is on the long size). The band would record one more LP in 1984, but split soon after the suicide of then current bassist Paul Humphries. An anthology of the band's material appeared on CD in 1993, but all of the band's output seems to be very much out of print.

Without any further ado, here's the information for the Experiments in Incest LP:
