First released on vinyl earlier in the year and now available on CD for the first time, "Uneven Paths" sees the admirable diggers behind the Music From Memory label mine the eccentric, often inspired but rarely visited fringes of Europe's 1980s electronic pop scene. The duo behind the set, Jamie Tiller and Raphael Top-Secret, describe the collected material as "deviant pop" - melodious, left-of-centre obscurities that some may consider "Balearic". It's pop music from the outer limits, with the duo offering up tracks that variously draw influence from spoken word, global rhythms, post-punk fusion, new age ambient and kosmiche. Their selections are spot on throughout with genuine surprises around every corner.
