The Electric Chairs - So Many Ways

A nifty electro-ish new wave tune from 1979, with a great krautrocky hypnotic bassline, flanged drums, electro noises in the background and kind-of-chanted lead vocals.

The band’s history site says:

‘The musical direction again, being experimental, using electronic treatments on the drums, rhythmic, and vocals, with the technology that was available at the time, and was released in November 1979, by SAFARI RECORDS ( cat no: safe 18. ) receiving a few good reviews, and airplay in the UK and Europe, but no promotion. The bands instruments were then impounded, due to apparent financial discrepancies in the bands affairs, making it impossible to function as a band, coupled, with no record releases from the company, equals = no records, no instruments, equals = no music, no music, equals = no gigs, no gigs, equals = no band, END OF STORY, (SO FAR).’
