TUXEDOMOON - NO TEARS, 1978

Tuxedomoon was an avant-garde, electronic-oriented collective from San Fransisco whose music ranged from new wave pop to jazz fusion to more experimental synthesizer soundscapes, usually including saxophone and violin married in concert to performance-art shows. This is off their first ep, a four song 12” released in 1978. In 1981 they released their first full length album Desire, from which there’s an excellent scene of them performing the title track in Edo Bertoglio’s wonderful film Downtown 81 starring Jean-Michel Basquiat.
