V/A - Music Industry Arts 1983-1984 (LP)
Music Industry Arts are a series of compilations released by the Fanshawe College music department. The nine compilations, released between 1979 and 1985 are an astonishing archive of nascent talent captured in a savvy studio environment by the program's gifted students and staff who take different roles and play various instruments; switching from engineer to performer to songwriter, song to song. They also showcase emerging studio techniques and a range of musical styles that evolve over the decade, from introspective folk to affirmative new wave. Most of the artists only appear on these compilations, without any other known recordings -- a brief but remarkable musical flourishing.
This compilation from 1983~1984 moves into new electronic territory featuring a battery of MIDI synths and drum machines acquired by the program. Children of the night, wired and recording until dawn…
