From 〈STROOM〉, the front line of leftfield revival and excavation, comes a reissue of hidden Belgian post-punk works! In the early '80s, youth entertainment was suppressed under the pressure of European austerity, and out of that frustration and raw primal impulse came this avant-garde sound. Both bands' only releases.

The latest work from 〈STROOM〉, a label widely trusted for its excavations and reissues of the likes of PABLO'S EYE and CYBE. ORGANIZED PLEASURE was formed by DOMINIEK DECANDT, who would later go on to play in another band. "TROPICAL STUMBLE" (sample1), with its tight drum patterns and angrily thrashing distorted guitar and bass, makes use of early synths and vocoders. SATIN WALL, influenced by JOY DIVISION and CABARET VOLTAIRE, offer "DANS LES PROFONDEURS" (sample2), built around minimal single-note string playing layered with whistling and poetry. That both were made primarily by teenagers is another highlight. (Original Japanese text by Akie)
