**1982 synth-heavy no wave ‘straight outta Kiel / Hamburg’**

Dark Entries followers know the score - the standards are dangerously high as the label unearth another crucial transmission from relative Discogs obscurity.

Over 50 minutes there’s a hell of a lot going on here amongst the demented squelches and endlessly inventive synth workouts. Check the shifting dynamic pulses of ‘In The White Room’, the loose Can-like tribal flourishes of ‘Quiet Days in My Hometown’, the James Chance sax squalls on ‘Ice Cold Waves’ and ‘Maybe Some Day’ or the camp jazz-noir of ‘It Feels like 1925’.

We first caught onto No More via the 2015 Mannequin Records repress of the band’s defining moment (the Optimo-certified ‘Suicide Commando’). Those tracks turn up here alongside an 8 track mini-LP, 3 demos and a bonus 7” of their debut ‘Too Late’ EP, making this more than just another entry in the recent stream of lavish lo-fi retrospectives,

This is one of the most inventive documents of the synthwave sound you can own and a comprehensive document of No More’s early years.
