The Raincoats - 1983-Moving

Album number three, 1984’s Moving, proved to be the band’s downfall. More specifically, democracy was the band’s undoing. We often hear tales of domineering personalities destroying bands, but the Raincoats discovered the corollary to that problem. Birch said (again, to Unterberger), “We really endeavored to be incredibly democratic, which meant that as we grew apart, or as our influences grew more and more diverse, that we ended up not really knowing how to censor ourselves.”

Not that Moving is without some fantastic moments. “No One’s Little Girl” pops up occasionally on post-punk and new wave anthologies, and rightfully so. It’s as good as anything the band ever recorded.

Sway - Human Carnage (1979)

Obscure pearl coming from Belgium, active in the late 70's. The group Sway was formed in the city of Liege and had as keyboardist and leader Yvon Hubert (ex-Laurelie) and with one ex-member of S to S. They launched an only and rare album in 1979 privately and most in their shows. The album Human Carnage consists of 10 short tracks of progressive rock typical of late 70s, having its best, creative and complex, moments led by Hubert, with synthesizer and organ and more melodic passages of folk and classic rock, with good guitar, saxophone and percussion solos. The lyrics are all in English. Emphasis on "Human Carnage", "Why" and "Sway". Recommended for progressive rock fans at the time.
