SYNESTHESIA



A DIY label.  Synesthesia was home to just the two records, both of which were by Neu Electrikk (a.k.a. 'Neu Electric').  The first was a single, 'Lust of Berlin', which came out in May 1979; its catalogue / matrix number, SGS-107, was one of a series used by SGS studios (q.v.) of South London.  I have yet to see a picture of the label, but the SGSes I have seen have had plain white labels with details hand-stamped on them by the artists.  The second release, an EP called 'Cover Girl', came out the following year; it was pressed in France, had a red plastic moulded label, and a was numbered SYN-1.  The band described their sound as 'Modern surreal musik'; 'Lust of Berlin' is said to owe a debt to Heroes-era David Bowie.
