Wild West - Beat the Drought 7''

Phil Turnbull & Co gave us this little gem in 1981.  Call it post-punk, pop-art, avant-garde, experimental - heck, just call it Wild West.  It's certainly has an electronic/synth base and is very melodic.  Therefore: Pop (I guess).

Phil was also involved with No Night Sweats and Voigt 465 (to name a few) but the impact of this form of music is still only just being realised (perhaps). I can strongly recommend the Wild West CD compilation ('Scratch Another Day Selected Recordings 1980-81') from Bandcamp and a sensational box set of Aussie Electronic/experimental music from this period called 'Magnetophonics - Australian Underground Music 1978-84'.
