Mark Lane - Who’s Really Listening? 1984

Going back to the early dawn of the new wave and punk movements, Mark Lane began his electronic music and tape splicing experiments in 1981. His first release was a vinyl 7” entitled “Love is So Aggravating” and although it was well received, it was the release of his 1984 mini-LP entitled “Who’s Really Listening?” that garnered him critical acclaim and cemented his place historically as one of the early pioneers of minimal electronic synthpop.

This track features on a promotional split 7” with Oppenheimer Analysis in celebration of the recently released Minimal Wave Tapes, the first official anthology of underground electronic music from North America and Europe from the excellent Minimal Wave label, remastered from analog source tapes and compiled by Minimal Wave’s Veronica Vasicka and Stones Throw’s Peanut Butter Wolf.
