New Additions: The Official Post Industrial Noise Anothology

One of the hard parts of researching music from thirty to forty years ago is simply the lack of access to the music. Most of what was released on cassette is impossible to find, and the vinyl, while a bit more plentiful, can be hard to track down as well. If there are no streaming options, well, that makes shelling out a few bucks necessary to hear it. Sometimes you get lucky, as is the case with Post Industrial Noise. A fairly obscure band from the early 1980s, they only managed two releases in 1983 before separating. However, thanks to the Medical Records label, a reissue is available both digitally and on vinyl, which I was able to scoop up at Used Kids recently. It's minimal early/mid-80s electronic music with some gloomy elements, and very unique to the Columbus scene during that time period.
