Brooklyn label Minimal Wave released this collection of rarities from Hard Corps, a synthpop/minimal wave group from the UK with a sparse catalog consisting of only a few singles and compilation albums, most of which are rare and long overdue for exposure. The sound here brings to mind Propaganda or possibly Book of Love's heavier moments; the beats are dry and heavy, the synths are minimalistic, and the female vocals add a softness to a sound that can often come off as overly dominant and even fascistic with a detached male voice.
