Futurisk - Lonely Streets (1982 Ocean Sound)

Now on iTunes: itunes.apple.co...
In 1982 Futurisk re-recorded 4 of their best tracks from the "Player Piano EP" which was originally recorded in 1981 on 4-track cassette and released in 1982. This time they went to a professional studio, Ocean Sound in Fort Lauderdale with the intention of releasing an album, which never materialized. This is the version of "Lonely Streets" that came out of those sessions. It is now available on the Minimal Wave Records 30th Anniversary Futurisk retrospective vinyl release "Player Piano LP" available here:

..And stay tuned for the Lonely Streets Remixes:
Finally complete and off to the pressing plant soon, a 4 song EP of remixes of Futurisk's "Lonely Streets".
Futurisk was a pioneering electro-punk group that recorded and performed in the pre-midi era of the early '80's. They had two vinyl releases that sold out, a legendary live show and some videos, but for a number of reasons by 1984 Futurisk was history. Before dissolving though, they re-recorded several of their cult tracks in a high end studio in Miami. The original reels were salvaged, baked and transferred last year, and select tracks from the transfers were released on the Player Piano LP (MW023). After hearing the incredible quality of the stems for each song, we decided to offer up one of our favorites, "Lonely Streets" to contemporary artists whom we admire, in hopes that they would be interested in remixing the track or even fully 'reinterpreting' it. As a result, we received 4 very beautiful and unique productions from Chris Carter( Throbbing Gristle, Chris & Cosey) Complexxion, Prince Language(DFA, Editions Disco), and Tom Furse (of the Horrors). More info and release date soon.

Pure 80's nostalgia = pure guilty pleasure.

[@BixDugan-tf3lx]

Very cool local band

[@logarithmicspiral981]

It's shameful that this band is not recognized at all.

[@victimedelamode1]

So much, even to this day, of Miami music is not recognized. Conversely, the underground scene flourishes in a truly, go figure, underground manner. While so much is commercialized and deemed "fake" in the area, that very superficiality provides fertile ground for underground music perhaps as a response.

She is my suite.
She walks down lonely streets and avenues.
She is my suite.
She leads the way down lonely avenues.
She doesn't have to wait and see...
She walks down lonely streets and avenues
She claims she sees right through me
Her eyes so bright
I beg her to show me the light.
Lonely streets
They haunt my dreams.
She walks down lonely streets and avenues.
Lonely streets
Lonely streets
They haunt my dreams.

Wish I could've seen a Futurisk show! Maybe still a chance?
Signed,
A hopeful Miamian
