That is an album called Love and Betrayal by a band called The Opposition. Never heard of the band before nor had I heard of the term Cold Wave before. However, looking it up on Wikipedia, it becomes quite clear that this is what I was into for a long time there. I must say I rather like this music.
The term was coined in 1977 to refer to the Sioux and the Banshees and Kraftwerk. The term later became applied to a genre out of far northern France (Normandy) and southern Belgium in the late 1970′s. Most of the original bands sung in French. The term was also applied to Martin Hannett’s Joy Division productions. Now I love Joy Division, one of my favorite bands of all time. The Cure around the time of 1981′s Faith album was also considered coldwave. I love Cure around that time. The Opposition is a French band that formed in the late 1070′s. Pretty amazing that they are still around.
Some of the early European bands included Marquis de Sade, KaS Product, Siglo XX, Asylum Party, Twilight Ritual, Norma Loy, Pavillon, Résistance, Clair Obscur, Richard Pinhas, Artefact, Opera Multi Steel, Trisomie 21, Lizzy Mercier Descloux and Die Form. In the late 1980s, groups like Little Nemo, Museum of Devotion and The Breath of Life were formed. Most of this music was not distributed in the US. I have never heard of even one of those bands.
