Dislocation Dance - Midnight Shift [ROUGH 63 UK 1983 24-Bit FLAC] Staying in Manchester..... Dislocation Dance have featured here before when I covered their first two albums. Midnight Shift was their third and final long player, trusted to the Rough Trade label for release in 1983. This record is expansive, covering a variety of styles and genres, cramming twelve tracks over two sides, each one interesting in its own little way. From a band with post-punk roots, Dislocation Dance explore pop-tinged soul, indie-pop, dub, punk-funk, Bacharach and then take you on a cycle ride through the French countryside listening to Traffaut soundtracks. The title track is a dramatisation of the Donna Summer track Working The Midnight Shift , which differs greatly from the original, seemingly reflecting the subject matter of street prostitution better than the Moroder disco original. Show Me was the single and despite the best efforts of Dennis Bovell, failed to gather interest. I'm Doing Fine ...

Dislocation Dance - Music Music Music [ORG 15 UK 1981 24-Bit FLAC] Manchester 1981, Youth opportunities .....Dislocation Dance released their first full length album on the New Hormones label. Punk meets funk, it also does jazz, swing and lounge, there was no other band like Dislocation Dance, a band who took steps away from their post-punk roots and found a newer beat. More diverse than Sextet , this is an album from the same era, oozing a new cool all over the turntable.  Ripped from an original New Hormones pressing. Enjoy.

Dislocation Dance - Slip That Disc! [ORG 10 UK 1981 24-Bit FLAC] Manchester's Dislocation Dance were formed around 1979, adding horns and rhythm to the gloomy post-punk sounds of their home city. Slip That Disc! was their debut mini album released on Richard Boon's New Hormones label. The album sits comfortably alongside contemporaries such as Delta 5 and The Au Pairs, with more than a little hint of the post-Pop Group bands, Maximum Joy and Rip Rig & Panic as well as local cohorts A Certain Ratio ...no more evident than on the funky Under One And Over. The Beatles standard, We Can Work It Out gets a sublime and dreamy rework, which I find adorable. A1 Spare Concern A2 I'll See A3 It's All True... Panic!
