This is from one of the many anonymous/bootleg soul/funk 12inches out there. Not sure who the artist is but the song is called “Midnight Groove.”

From Neil Young’s album “Trans”  released on Geffen in 1982.The Rolling Stone review is pretty amusing:

“But no sooner does this wisp of pleasantry fade than out issues the programmed thud-thud of a computer drum, Joined by an ethereal wash of synthesizer, heralding the arrival of the androids.”

R-636366-1198089569.jpegThis is what I imagine when Martin talks about Glastonbury. But it’s actually New Order, live in Woolwich, Coronet Febuary 4th, 1987. Very tinny recording. Absolutely gorgeous song.
