Vital Sines - Collage ep (1985, Midnight)

Vital Sines were a Toronto quartet who made headway in the Canadian indie-circuit, thanks to this ep's title cut, an icy, noir slab of discernible goth-rock wielding all the attendant aesthetics one might expect.  Thankfully not a one-trick-pony, they were even more adept at harnessing the jittery post-punk affectations of Gang of Four and APB, evidenced by "Hype" and "Ice Statue," both irresistible and effective attempts that capably plunder the staccato-laced, funk-rock party bag. Collage has me itching to delve into the handful of Sines releases that preceded and followed it. 

01. Collage
02. Hype
03. Ice Statue
04. Rhythm of the Dark

I own this record but haven't listened to it in probably 35 years. Thanks for making it easy.
