Description

This is a very rare (only the 2nd copy I have had for sale in 25 years !!!) and one of the most obscure in my opinion UK MINIMAL SYNTH / NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL / INDIE POP / TWEE / PUNK compilation entitled POINTS OF DEPARTURE from... 1984, this is the ORIGINAL pressing and the first time I have seen this compilation for sale in many years. AN ORIGINAL, AND A MUST !!!.
The album came on the private RAMBERT RECORDS who is also known for many obscure 7" PUNK / SYNTH /NWOBHM single releases, catalogue number NRT 252, and this album features many bands that never got to release any other products apart from the tracks on this compilation, and hence the only chance to get them will be this compilation, and believe me some of them are better then many of the single releases, or many other released singles, THESE TRACKS SHOULD BE COMPED on the MINIMAL SYNTH / NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL compilations.
This compilation appears on many MINIMAL SYNTH and NEW WAVE OF BRITISH HEAVY METAL collectors wants lists !!!

I will list the BANDS - ARTISTS / SONGS / and STYLE OF MUSIC:
SIDE ONE:
SWITCH - WAITING TILL YOU WANT ME - New Wave sound.
LANDSLIDE - BAND OF GOLD - GREAT New Wave Of British Heavy Metal sound with loud guitars and screaming vocals.
INCENSE - TIME AND AGAIN - Good Indie Pop C86 TWEE sound like Haircut 100.

LEGACY - LOOKIN' - Great INDIE POP C86 TWEE sound with horns like Friday Club.
RARE PLEASURES - THE ALTERNATIVE - Amazing MINIMAL SYNTH sound, like TRANSPARENT ILLUSION !!!


SIDE TWO:
SABOTEUR - HEAR WHAT THEY SAY - Synth Pop sound.
THE SWEAT BAND - I'M ALIVE - Another amazing NWOBHM sound, loud guitars, guitar solo, and screaming vocals all the way.
BEAU MONDE - BURNING CITIES - Dark Wave sound with Synth like Joy Division.
TRIDENT - FOLLOW ME FOLLOW YOURS- Post Punk DIY sound like Raincoats.
THE PORTRAITS - FRAMED - DIY PUNK sound like TV Personalities.
