Cultural Amnesia -- ideal soundtrack for nocturnal belgrade

[Gerard Greenway]

The early work of Cultural Amnesia was featured in ‘The Hidden History of Pop – Top Ten “Unknowns”’, published by Popbooks, Web Magazine of Popular Culture (Belgrade) in March, in a list heavily favouring acts from the post-punk period. Here is the translated text...

CULTURAL AMNESIA
This obscure British band could hardly be called influential in the real sense of the word, being practically non-existent on the contemporary musical map. Cultural Amnesia teeter on the brink of total psychosis. Nine Inch Nails are a lullaby in comparison. The band's three albums, all cassette-only releases, are very difficult to find nowadays, with originals selling on the Net for about 50 Euros. But you can download a good number of recordings for free at the official website: http://www.culturalamnesia.com

Cultural Amnesia are an ideal soundtrack for nocturnal Belgrade. For a moment they are a cyber-Doors, then Joy Division adrift in one of the lower circles of hell, then an evil Tuxedomoon. Paranoia, noise and anxiety, dark-wave and electro-noise, distorted sounds as though emitted from pipes, screaming synthesizers and a rain of electroids floating through the entangled cables of the digital world-net... This band's message: there is no exit from the abyss.
