The Misz - The EE EP flac album

Also from Belgium, also from the 80s are The Misz. Its a name I heard back then, when I dabbled with cassettes, but not one I really seem to remember. I do remember them as 'something with synths'. The four tracks on this EP were previously released on a cassette (no doubt with more music) in 1984. While there is some use of casio's VL-Tone 1, and drum programming, the music relies much more on guitar and bass, and vocals. This gives the music a sligthy more rock like approach in a track like 'Lech Walesa Neer', whereas 'Le Joli Jardin' is entirely electronic, with female vocals. Both ends meet up on 'It Ain't All Garbage': a nice synthi based rhythm and some guitars. 'When Preachers Come' is the catchiest tune with a trebly guitar and a nice spoken word from a preacher (unfortunately in Dutch), blessing us for easter. Great poppy stuff, this The Misz. Now that would need more re-issuing too! (FdW) Vital Weekly 751 (12-10-10) ----- At the same time EE Tapes also released it first vinyl release, even though they are active since the late 80's. This vinyl is a 7 inch by The Misz, another nice Belgium 80's band. While The Misz is not as essential as Pseudocode and Bene Gesserit it is a nice release for collector's and fans of music from this era. And... the track 'Le Joli Jardin' on this record makes the purchase more then worthwhile. It has this nice Trisomie 21 sort of melancholy touch. I think I do not need to say more...
