The Syndromes vs Merciful Release All-Stars Featuring The Impossible Dreamers ‎- Ready In The Rhythm Section [MR-2 UK 1980 24-Bit FLAC] Now this one I have never ripped and posted until now, Ready In The Rhythm Section is a rare album with London new-wave punks The Syndromes having side one to themselves, The Merciful Release All-Stars get the other with a bit of help from post-punk funskters The Impossible Dreamers.

The Impossible Dreamers - Spin b/w Think Almost Twice - Chikiba [SUPRAA 003 FRA 2008 24-Bit FLAC] A new 2019 rip of an old ESWA blog post - the original was perhaps a little too loud ....from what I understand is a French pressed bootleg released a few years back, Spin is an obscure early 80's b-side by Exeter band The Impossible Dreamers. Think heavy bass driven, percussion laden with horns, think 23 Skidoo, A Certain Ratio, Maximum Joy and Pig Bag ....get my drift? I've no clue as to Think Almost Twice's pedigree, but Chikiba is a 70s-style funk disco instrumental but more likely to be French retro-funk rather than the real thing. Having said that, it is rather good! A1 The Impossible Dreamers - Spin B1 Think Almost Twice - Chikiba
