Steve Beresford, a British improvisational musician and maverick who—through projects like Flying Lizards and General Strike—masterfully blurred the boundaries between avant-garde experimental music and genres such as pop, rock, jazz, reggae, and dub, and who has recently been featured on compilations like those by Music From Memory, created the 1985 avant-pop synth-slo-funk oddity *Dancing the Line*—released exclusively in France—using an RX drum machine, Yamaha DX7, and other instruments—a unique avant-pop synth-funk album originally released exclusively in France in 1985—is now available for the first time on analog LP via Wewantsounds!! A no-digital, vinyl-only release. Unearthed from the archives. We highly recommend it.
Track List


An album inspired by the fashion of French fashion designer Anne Marie Beretta, featuring Steve Beresford on the Yamaha DX7, RX11, drum machines, and piano; chants by Kazuko Hohki of Frank Chickens; flute, guitar, and bamboo flute by David Toop; clarinet and saxophone by Alan Hacker; and whispers by Andrew Brenner. It features avant-garde, high-sty ...Read morele, experimental avant-pop, Balearic-cosmic reflow-field synthesizer slow funk, and ambient jazz—all imbued with Steve Beresford’s signature witty humor. This is a masterpiece that allows listeners to fully savor these beautiful soundscapes. 13 tracks in total.
Just like the original, this release features a gatefold artwork double-page spread. It comes in a deluxe package that includes a 4-page insert with liner notes by Jean Rochard of the original release label, nato. A wonderful, hidden gem of avant-pop, cosmic ambient jazz, and slow funk.
