"Love Songs" is a selection from the cassette tapes recorded 1984-1986 by 80's Belgian post punk / industrial legend Menko Konings (aka EM / Menko / eM.) and the follow up to his 1986 tape release "Dedicated To Charles Bronson". This one hits the sweet spot between early Factory releases, east coast mutant psychedelic funk, and NYC no wave. If you're enjoyed archival releases on Dark Entries, Blackest Ever Black, the stranger end of PPU, and the mutant funk of Wicked Witch - then this is worth diving into it. 

They are never released on vinyl before. Also added two previously unpublished songs. Including download code and free CD by S.M. Nurse; “The Last Album”, with almost one hour never released tracks 1982-1983.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Eccentric genius from this DIY cassette legend Menko Konings. Part crooner, part mutant funkster, part lo-fi industrialist; it's a completely singular sonic view which Top Tape have managed to capture brilliantly on this curated vinyl showcase.
