    For the second outing on Red Axes Garzen Records label comes 'Tel Aviv Downtown' by Siam, one of Israel’s pioneer new wave bands from the 80s, but given a dancefloor makeover by the Axes themselves. With its electro-dance 4/4 rhythm, percussive loops, primitive scratching, moody synths and spoken word vocal, this track sits nicely next to the cuts on the current 'Sherwood At The Controls' compilation. Lifted from the duo's pricey 1989 album 'War And Peace And Inbetween', it's a perfect cut for anyone with a penchant for 80s minimal wave. On the flip is a re-master for Siam's anthem 'In The Realm Of', taken from the same album. Much more of a goth-tinted indie number, we're reminded of Killing Joke, Blancmange and A Flock Of Seagulls.

about

Siam is an israeli new wave band that was active between 1983-1990,
and played an important key figure in the Tel Avivian music culture and art back in the days.

This record is a clash between past and present with a slight wink to the future and we are very honored to press it.

On the A side you can find a Red Axes Edit of Siam's Tel Aviv Downtown, this is a fast time machine journey which takes the dirt and the safety pins of Tel Aviv in the 80s and delivers it on a futuristic cut.

"In the realm of" was and still is a club anthem over here since it was released in 1989, and was mostly identified with the legendary "Penguin Club" (a crazy basement club which hosted all the best shows and parties during the 80s and 90s).
