Anne Clark - Our Darkness

Anne Clark - Our Darkness - For more than 30 years Anne Clark has held a unique place in contemporary music.
Combining literary, socially engaged texts with innovative and genre-breaking music, she has covered every kind of style, while at the same time maintaining her own identity on each and every recording, whether it be the samples (before sampling became a concept) and electronically treated acoustics of The Sitting Room (1982), to the ground-breaking analogue synth classics of Sleeper In Metropolis (1983) and Our Darkness (1984).
Consistently looking for new ways of expression and communication through the emotion of music and language, Anne seeks to not only challenge herself but her audience also.

[@kevinmullner4280]

I´ve seen Anne Clark live in the PC 69 in the 80s, presumably 85. We were so blessed in EastWestphalia/Germany with the PC69 in Bielefeld [the city that doesn´t exist], the Forum Enger [beating everything else in Germany, maybe sometimes Europe], the Hunky Dory in Detmold and the bright, but tiny Glashaus crowd, that would go off even with sometimes only five to ten concertgoers. And today? I´m old, this generation has to find their own way of enlightment and happiness. About this version; it sounds fresher than the older ones. It´s great.

We dressed mainly black, wore pointed ankle boots, used hairspray and make-up, we danced into the night to The Cure, Fad Gadget, Neon Judgement, Alien Sex Fiend, Skinny Puppy, Sisters of Mercy, etc.. and of course to the brilliant Anne Clarke who was one of the top acts in New Wave music. Awesome and memorable times.
