Comments for Cindytalk, Camouflage Heart

Actually quite an unnerving, edgy album in the wilderness between industrial and god-knows-where. In an interview published in the Absctract series, Gordon said he wanted the camouflage heart album to stun those who thought they were buying airy-fairy songs of the "kangaroo" and "fond affections" variety from his contributions to the first full-length this mortal coil project. Gordon's tortured screamings are not everyone's cup of tea, admittedly, but as he shows on "disintegrate" there is far more going on here than the know-nothing who wrote the other review featured will ever discover.

camouflage heart bares very little relationship to the kind of music made by bauhaus and their ilk.there''s very little mock horror drama or art school posturing.it''s certainly dark and was conceived and recorded in the early 80''s,this record might also share some of the same influences that bauhaus had (eno/roxy music/bowie/EARLY UK PUNK) but if you listen closely,as it demands,you''ll find it a very far cry from the gothic tragedy of bauhaus.if you like your dark poetics intense and fractured you should check this album out.it might take a few listenings but once you''re inside,it won''t fade too quickly.something of a minor masterpiece.

Dark, gloomy, dreary and tortured, Cindytalk is mainlyGordon Sharp. This record in particular is reminiscentof Bauhaus, except that Bauhaus was more in thebusiness of writing songs. The music on this album ismostly backdrops upon which Sharp hurls his lyrics.

gothic and sexy as fuck....
