Post-punk band from Brussels, they were signed to Factory Records and as a result got Martin Hannett as a producer for this album. Reminds me of Joy Division a lot, dreamy synths and stripped-down-to-perfection bass-lines. If you like post-punk at all, you’ll like this.
Factory Benelux presents new deluxe double vinyl and single CD editions of Swimming, the acclaimed album by Belgian new wave group The Names, originally issued in June 1982.
Between 1979 and 1982 The Names recorded a string of excellent records for Factory, Factory Benelux and Les Disques du Crépuscule, all helmed by legendary producer Martin Hannett. Recorded at Strawberry Studios in Manchester, Swimming has come to be regarded as a cold wave classic, combining strong songwriting from Michel Sordinia and poised, tasteful delivery by guitarist Marc Deprez and keyboards player Christophe Den Tandt.
Bonus tracks include singles Calcutta, Nightshift, The Astronaut and Spectators of Life, as well as the band's John Peel session from February 1982, the first ever recorded by a Belgian band. The gatefold sleeve also features original artwork and poster design by Benoît Hennebert, and photographs by Marc Portée.
