Ah, just what the doctor ordered - a sweet set of potent, driving power pop that subscribes to the same undiluted aesthetic as the Plimsouls, Producers, and a myriad of others from this era were renown for. For that matter, Shoes might have come up with something like this had they been a bit less inhibited. I do have to say however the bizarre outro that concludes the record is a bit puzzling, as is the equally odd side one segue track "Back in the Cafeteria."By what little I have to go on The Movement operated out of Nashville, and prime-Mover Richie Owens is still at it with his current endeavor, The Farm Bureau. I've got a live Movement clip for you below from '84. Have at it!
01. Together We Can Survive
02. Lost Horizon
03. Back in the Cafeteria
04. I've Got Eyes
05. I Won't Settle Down
06. Temporary
07. Illusion of Conciousness
08. untitled

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this. I bought the original vinyl LP when it came out when I was in Knoxville and I still have it (but have never have been able to get a good rip) I really like "Together We Can Survive." Most Nashville bands would frequently make the trip to Knoxville to play around the university but I never saw these guys. Thanks for digging into it!
