███▓ Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies; CD is housed in a ▓███
███▓ 6-panel cardboard ▓███
███▓ sleeve on CD spider (CD foam holder); no booklet; no lyrics. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ This is what brutalresonance.com writes about this release: ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ 1986 seems forever and a day ago. I was a junior in high-school, ▓███
███▓ Ronald Reagan was President of The United States, Margaret Thatcher ▓███
███▓ was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, The A-Team was a hit TV ▓███
███▓ show in the US and The Adventures Of Sherlock Holmes was a hit in ▓███
███▓ the UK. Others may remember Perestroika, Glasnost, Halley's Comet, ▓███
███▓ The Iran Contra Affair, Mad Cow Disease, Mike Tyson and so on. New ▓███
███▓ Model Army dazzled us with 'The Ghost Of Cain' and Discharge had us ▓███
███▓ scratching our heads with 'Grave New World'. It was also the year ▓███
███▓ that Alan Rider and Kleo Kay formed Dance Naked. Not long after the ▓███
███▓ formation of Dance Naked the band played live and started writing ▓███
███▓ material that ultimately became 'The Hidden God' and 'Colour Dance' ▓███
███▓ cassette tapes in 1988 only to disband in 1990. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ Some compilation tracks along with 'The Hidden God' and 'Colour ▓███
███▓ Dance' tapes are all that exist from the band. The music of Dance ▓███
███▓ Naked was not easy to find in any physical format. If you do find ▓███
███▓ it, you better have money as they are highly sought after from ▓███
███▓ collectors all over the globe. Interest in Dance Naked material ▓███
███▓ never seemed to die. In 2014 the label, Aufnahme + Wiedergabe out ▓███
███▓ of Berlin contacted Dance Naked to release a retrospective gatefold ▓███
███▓ LP + CD titled 'Point Of Change', containing re-mastered tracks ▓███
███▓ from the impossible to find cassette albums, coupled with ▓███
███▓ previously unreleased studio demos and live tracks. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ 'Point Of Change' is available as an LP + CD for all vinyl lovers. ▓███
███▓ This combo package is limited to 300 hand-number copies. The CD ▓███
███▓ only package contains all of the tracks on the LP + CD version and ▓███
███▓ is limited to 250 hand-numbered copies. Like everything with A+W, ▓███
███▓ the packaging is top notch! Alan and company collaborated with Jack ▓███
███▓ Duckworth from Soft Riot. Regarding the artwork and layout, Alan ▓███
███▓ stated, "The idea was one of rebirth and seeing through the ▓███
███▓ mundane, ordinary world to find something more magical and powerful ▓███
███▓ inside". He goes on to say, "So when you open the cover you find ▓███
███▓ you have walked through the doorway and the altar is depicted ▓███
███▓ within. You have entered into a sacred space in the process and are ▓███
███▓ in front of the altar. The doorway is a gateway to transformation, ▓███
███▓ hence the choice to enter it and to cross its threshold is the ▓███
███▓ 'Point of change' ,illustrating the title of the album itself. The ▓███
███▓ portal is an actual gateway that was made for us (you can't just go ▓███
███▓ out and buy these things!) to use in ritual drama performances, for ▓███
███▓ various occult events. We made a large Dance Naked chaos star to ▓███
███▓ set up behind the altar which we used for the photo sessions for ▓███
███▓ the front sleeve and inner sleeve. This symbolizes the wheel of the ▓███
███▓ year, and the eight pagan festivals of the year. The autumn leaves ▓███
███▓ and the green leaves show the principle of the changing seasons and ▓███
███▓ how one leads to the next". For LP + CD version, the CD fits nicely ▓███
███▓ on the inside of the gatefold above the song titles to the disc. ▓███
███▓ Also, on the bottom of the inside cover, lines from the track ▓███
███▓ "Point Of Change" appear. "Arabesque of molten jet shivers into ▓███
███▓ life. The burning figure moves, mirrored in the blazing light. ▓███
███▓ Moves and breathes and lives. Ripples of its own existence echo in ▓███
███▓ its stream." Again, another example of a significant event causing ▓███
███▓ one to change the direction of his or her life. A rebirth or ▓███
███▓ transformation- the point of change. The back cover contains ▓███
███▓ several black and white photos of the band. Most of these photos ▓███
███▓ have been unseen by most for decades. The LP tracks are listed in ▓███
███▓ the middle along with a small place identifying the hand-numbered ▓███
███▓ edition the consumer purchased. Of course as go to your turntable ▓███
███▓ and pull out the slab of wax, you are in awe of white vinyl! A ▓███
███▓ truly nice touch to an already stellar looking product! Oh, and did ▓███
███▓ I mention that Martin Bowes is responsible for the excellent ▓███
███▓ mastering? ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ Outside of the track "Bronze Contempt" and a few others, I was ▓███
███▓ pretty unfamiliar with the overall sound and approach of Dance ▓███
███▓ Naked. They display a very diverse and intelligent DIY approach ▓███
███▓ that weaves together elements of goth rock, punk rock and some ▓███
███▓ minimal wave. For those who seek points of reference for the sound ▓███
███▓ of Dance Naked, take notice of some of the earlier works of Bauhaus ▓███
███▓ ('In The Flat Field' and 'The Sky's Gone Out'). Tracks like "The ▓███
███▓ Spy In The Cab" and "In The Flat Field" come to mind. Try to ▓███
███▓ imagine Bauhaus replacing Daniel Ash's guitars for synthesizers. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ I found myself playing the LP version of "Bronze Contempt" over and ▓███
███▓ over when I first received the recordings for this amazing LP. The ▓███
███▓ more I listened to it, the more I discovered. The vocals and ▓███
███▓ keyboards command attention right from the start. Lurking in the ▓███
███▓ layers of "Bronze Contempt" a guitar gently eviscerates the eerie ▓███
███▓ and haunting backgrounds of the track going almost unnoticed after ▓███
███▓ the first few go arounds. Lyrically, "Bronze Contempt" centers ▓███
███▓ around finding yourself and overcoming subconscious inhibitions ▓███
███▓ that infiltrate each and every one of us. The CD includes as a ▓███
███▓ bonus, the demo version of "Bronze Contempt" that captures the ▓███
███▓ primordial state of the band. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ Up next is "Jezebel". It explores the nature of sex and misogyny in ▓███
███▓ all religions. It's a slower song with a heavy dose of keyboards ▓███
███▓ where the vocals really dominate the track. Roger's lyrics really ▓███
███▓ seem to follow a pattern of cabalistic and biblical influence. ▓███
███▓ "Legion" confronts the hypocrisy of the priesthood and the way he ▓███
███▓ feels they exploited the masses' beliefs to give themselves power. ▓███
███▓ Whose god is the true god? The dark and sinister subject matter of ▓███
███▓ "Legion" fits nicely into sound. The tempo picks and the vocals do ▓███
███▓ their best to mesmerize the listener. Another strong track that ▓███
███▓ reveals its older, rawer and more sinister counterpart on the CD. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ "Mark Upon The Brow" and "Az" are similar in style. Slower and more ▓███
███▓ sombre in nature. Both tracks display another side to Dance Naked's ▓███
███▓ sound. The first 20 seconds or so of "Az" slightly reminded me of ▓███
███▓ 23 Skidoo's "Kundalini" (maybe because I listening to 23 Skidoo ▓███
███▓ earlier in the day) with the electronic drum beats at the beginning ▓███
███▓ of the song. The vocals on "Mark Upon The Brow" display a powerful ▓███
███▓ connection with music and the message. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ It's time for two more killer blasts of darkness to ascend from the ▓███
███▓ milky white vinyl through the speakers. The tracks "Dance Naked" ▓███
███▓ and "Thrust! (Excelsior)" kick off the B side to the LP. Like most ▓███
███▓ of the output from Dance Naked, the vocals really take center stage ▓███
███▓ to the aural experience. These two tracks feature Alex Novak on ▓███
███▓ vocals. On the track titled "Dance Naked", the voice continues to ▓███
███▓ dominate, while Alan, Kleo and company raise the levels with their ▓███
███▓ nifty bass play and the adroit nature of the swirling synths. The ▓███
███▓ lyrics uncover the meaning behind the moniker. "Dance Naked" is a ▓███
███▓ metaphor for free expression and to be free from the constraints ▓███
███▓ that are imposed by others. "Thrust! (Excelsior)" is very memorable ▓███
███▓ with its chorus and various tempo changes. The feeling from the ▓███
███▓ energy the songs create really remind me of all the dark basement ▓███
███▓ bars where the DJs take part in another transformation, bringing ▓███
███▓ the darkness alive with their meticulous song selection, lack of ▓███
███▓ lighting and the obligatory fog machines. Creating a place refuge ▓███
███▓ to unwind from the daytime hours and give into the beat's embrace. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ As you play "Point Of Change" you hear Kleo's voice reciting the ▓███
███▓ words from the inside cover I mentioned earlier. There are some ▓███
███▓ background vocals in the form of aaahhh aaaahhhs joined by a ▓███
███▓ constant drum. The entire track has its influence in punk and is ▓███
███▓ accented by its CRASS-like spoken word approach. A nice touch to ▓███
███▓ change up the feel. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ "The Dream Goes On" was originally released on the cassette ▓███
███▓ compilation 'Partners In Music European Compilation' on the Stella ▓███
███▓ Mars Product label from 1989. Like most of Dance Naked's work, the ▓███
███▓ music has a strong DIY punk influence. The punk element stays so ▓███
███▓ what hidden due to the keyboards drawing your attention away. The ▓███
███▓ male and female dual vocals reveals another aspect of creativity on ▓███
███▓ display with 'Point Of Change'. This is definitely one of my ▓███
███▓ favorite songs on the album. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ "Venus In Furs" has been covered and sampled a million times from ▓███
███▓ The Melvins to label mates Black Egg. It's such a cool song to ▓███
███▓ rework and make even freakier than its original form. Judge for ▓███
███▓ yourself! I like it! ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ As I mentioned earlier, the CD contains all the LP tracks as well ▓███
███▓ some bonus material. You get demo versions of "Bronze Contempt" and ▓███
███▓ "Legion" as well as some more studio tracks like "New Jerusalem" ▓███
███▓ and "Eyes Of Flame" that revisit the very sombre moods we heard on ▓███
███▓ "Mark Upon The Brow" and "Az" and a live track "Judas" that was ▓███
███▓ recorded way back in July of 1986. The quality is quite good. ▓███
███▓ Perhaps the future holds a studio version? I really identify with ▓███
███▓ live versions much more if I was actually at the show. That's just ▓███
███▓ me. "Aeva" brings back that duality of male and female vocals. This ▓███
███▓ time Kleo's voice is more shouted rather than spoken word. The ▓███
███▓ ritualistic and tribal feel of "Orgasmatron" is sure to bring a ▓███
███▓ chill to your spine. All the bonus material is worthy of the ▓███
███▓ release. Too many times bands over document themselves by including ▓███
███▓ poor versions, whether live or studio for completeness on ▓███
███▓ retrospective releases. Fortunately, that is not the case here. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ Dance Naked play a brand of music that meshes the genres together ▓███
███▓ into something powerful and cutting edge. This ability to tip toe ▓███
███▓ in and out of many influences allows Dance Naked to appeal to a ▓███
███▓ more diverse audience. Don't get caught up in points of reference ▓███
███▓ for Dance Naked. Do they really sound like Death In June or ▓███
███▓ Bauhaus? Are they punk? Are they new wave? The tracks are as ▓███
███▓ relevant today as they were 20 + years ago. The funny thing about ▓███
███▓ Dance Naked's work is that many of today's artists may actually ▓███
███▓ have been influenced by them and their contemporaries. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ Given the arcane and esoteric subject matter, it would have been ▓███
███▓ great to dive deeper into the beliefs and practices that give life ▓███
███▓ to the imagery of 'Point Of Change'. Unless you read an interview ▓███
███▓ or speak to Dance Naked, it can difficult to truly grasp the ▓███
███▓ message of the band. Years ago I purchased 'Songs For The Children ▓███
███▓ Of Baphomet' by one of my favorite acts, The Royal Family And The ▓███
███▓ Poor. The entire album was a tribute to magick. It was packed with ▓███
███▓ information about every track. I liked the fact that I could ▓███
███▓ satisfy my curiosity of the deeper meanings within the songs by ▓███
███▓ reading along. The themes of 'Point Of Change' penetrate the ▓███
███▓ occult, magick, Thelema, Paganism and self expression. These very ▓███
███▓ themes are cascaded down through the minds of the artists into the ▓███
███▓ imagery and into the music. To me this is extremely interesting. I ▓███
███▓ guess a little more information would have really enhanced my ▓███
███▓ experience with the music. ▓███
███▓ ▓███
███▓ After all the time that has passed by since the original recordings ▓███
███▓ were made, Dance Naked and Aufnahme + Wiedergabe made sure a ▓███
███▓ quality product was created. Don't sleep too long on this release, ▓███
███▓ they will be gone soon! ▓███
