A LUNA RED
The Death Birds CD (CW005)

   Guaranteed to challenge most listeners, the debut album from A Luna Red is an interesting venture as the band members, born of hardcore/art-punk pedigree venture into the world of dark goth/electro-punk. Dense atmospheres prevail on this record, from the droney textures of old groups like Swans and Dead Can Dance to the more edgy, synth-punk of PiL, Trans Am, Skinny Puppy, Big Black, and Killing Joke yet still remaining raw and punk at the same time. A Luna Red dissolved in late 2003 and now play in Primes (check out their Global Symphonic release here.), Droom, and A Spectre Is Haunting Europe. This band also contains a member of a more well-known band called Radio Berlin.
   Check out A Luna Red's sophomore LP/CD, "SLMZK" on the US label Action Driver, as well as their split w/ Ghost Orchids and a 7" on GSL! Released early 2001.
