Asia Fields - Goodbye Frank

 

 

ASIA FIELDS

Goodbye Frank

2017 Firestation Records

Notes :

Asia Fields were indie rock band from Manchester, who emerged around late 80's period, during the Madchester era.  They mixed indie rock and pop with elements of funk and layered percussion.

Formed around 1984 by members including Graham Maley (lead vocals) and Tony Welsh, following earlier projects like Jazmedia and Aldo In Arcadia.

During their active run, they operated with an independent spirit and released rare material, including the Burst EP on their own Frank Records label, as well as Crazy Caroline single.

Released by Firestation Records in 2017, Goodbye Frank is retrospective compilation that finally documented the band's long lost hard-to-find early work from the Burst EP , alongside previously unreleased demos and tracks.

MadTube - Week 2

News for this week :

Single of the week is great baggy song ''Friction'' from early 90's Manchester band Asia Fields.
On 7th April they released long awaited album called ''Goodbye Frank'', a collection of band's first two singles plus a lot of unreleased recordings. Album is released for Firestation Records, one of greatest German labels at the moment, on limited edition CD & LP.

After 25 years, Thousand Yard Stare recorded new material, a double EP called ''Deepdreaming EP / Stargazing EP'' that will be released on one CD on 1st May 2017. First video from this new EP is great track called ''Epecuen''.

Great news, very long time i was looking for unreleased The Cygnet Ring album ''Hopeful Monsters'' and finally this week i received amazing quality rip of this album released only on cassette and sent to radio stations or newspapers for reviews. Unfortunately, band was dropped from their label and album was never officially released, i'm very happy that i'm one of few people who have copy of this fantastic album.

The Charlatans released ''Plastic Machinery'', first single taken from their new album ''Different Days'', featuring Johnny Marr on guitar.
