Anything Box- Peace LP

Before we begin, I'm headed to London and Paris for the next week and change, so please excuse my absence in advance. I'm leaving you with a fantastic seminal synthpop record, released in 1990 and cherished to date. The band is Anything Box, a three-piece synthpop band based out of Caliornia, who are still active to date.

Anything Box began their recordings in 1989, based out of a small New Jersey town (fun fact- the band played some of their first gigs at Passaic's Loop Lounge, a stage I played on just a few years ago). The band signed to Epic Records and relocated to Orange County, California, immediately beginning work on their first album (uploaded below). Since then, the band has released several EPs, singles, and records over the years, and the last dates to 2008. However, Peace, their stunning debut, remains one of their most popular, and boasts the single "Living In Oblivion," their biggest chart success. The record's success, as well as all subsequent releases, helped keep synthpop alive in the 1990s.

Without any further ado, here's the info:
