Dream Weapons present: PERENNIAL FLOWERS C60

Sing and dance along to melodies that sound like something your grandparents or rather great-grandparents could have spun at parties or in their spare time. That is if they were lucky enough to enjoy such things as parties and spare time... plus had eccentric but nevertheless impeccable taste - and owned a record player.

-Here's another wilted floral grouping of largely unheard six to eight decades old «popular music», revived. Twenty-two memorable, but strangely forgotten tunes that deserve our love and attention. This time slightly melodramatic and moonlit oldies with only a couple of fun novelty songs added in between the haunting and the heartbreak. Mostly musical expressions that hardly exist in our vocabulary anymore. Yet to me these pre-Fab Four era gems, speak directly to the heart -Moahaha

    1. Yeah one too many ghosts perhaps... Locating the actual originals of forgotten treasures such as these are few and far between (I'm sure you know). But whenever I do stumble over one - more often than not its priced closer to 1 € rather than 50. Best of luck in your search - and really happy to hear you really enjoyed the selection!

    1. Thanks! I'd say there's even some proto-doom music here for you Doomsters to dig as well, isn't it?
