The Arms of Someone New- Every Seventh Wave 12''

This one, while potentially well known inside this circle, is a recent favorite of mine, and while the majority of their work appears elsewhere in the blogosphere, I haven't seen this 12'' around.

The Arms of Someone New (primarily a collaborative project between Mel Eberle and Steve Jones, also involved with Area) formed in Champaign, Illinois in 1983, releasing their first 7'' the following year. At first, their sound had a biting, synth-driven edge to it, which eventually gave way to the growing ethereal scene into the late 1980s. I happen to dig the majority of their recordings in both spectrums, but this one falls more on the biting, danceable side of the band's catalog. We have two remixes of the single here (both drastically different from the version that appeared on their 1984 12''), with two slower, but no less stellar tracks taking up the b-side. Here's the breakdown:
