We Have A Technical 617: Encyclopedia Maiden

This week we're discussing a pair of darkwave records which both show off the range of the genre and also sit quite far away from especially trendy versions of the style which have perhaps worn out their welcome. Fist up is the classic Gala from Argentinian legends Euroshima, which helped establish the standard for the genre for generations of South American acts to come. Next, the moody but forceful Mire Of Mercury, the most recent LP from Estonia's Bedless Bones, draws links between the dancefloor and pagan ancience.
