Nera is a band trapped in the 1980’s new wave era and I am not at all
displeased by that. They combine the
sounds of Depeche Mode with New Order and most other things from that period
and of that general idea that you would like.
“Primeval
Memory” begins with electronic beats and then finds itself with drum machine
loops. It can sound like Nine Inch Nails’
”Head Like a Hole” and the vocals can sometimes even be robotic in their
nature. While considerably borderline
techno it is also quite a bit close to Devo, which is a strange line to tow.
Side
B is a little bit darker somehow, at least to start, and it reminds me of
Vagina Missile Crisis, which then makes me wonder whatever happened to them. Somewhat Breakfast Club soundtrack, I do
enjoy thinking just as well that this could be a combination of PiL and The
Prodigy. Let your head sink around that
one for a little bit.
Really,
if you are a fan of Depeche Mode (before their newer stuff that isn’t as good)
and/or New Order (and who isn’t a fan of either of those?) then this would be a
perfect cassette for you as you also could’ve found this in your automobile
tape deck back before we ever knew what CDs were.
