A bit of a request for today, ladies and gentlemen, as I've uploaded a rather stellar mix of early synthpunk/new/minimal wave tunes. I can't take credit for creating it, as this mix was originally constructed by Miss Amy Sammartino, a friend of mine from California. It's both a great introduction to the wonderful synth-based rock world, offering a few choice cuts spanning the late seventies/early eighties. The name derives from the 1966 satircal comedy Lord Love a Duck, the dialogue which is sampled on one of this mixes' best tracks.
Some of these artists have been featured on these back pages (mostly in earlier days), while others are both favorites old and new, so be sure to give this mix a spin and let me know what you dig. I have full records by most bands on the mix, so I'd be happy to upload a few for curious parties. Here's the tracklisting, without any further ado:
