Robert Görl – Night Full Of Tension – (US 12” Promo Vinyl LP Album) + link

Some early EDM with added vocals by Annie Lennox on some tracks. She leads on A3 and B3.

Released on Mute in the UK (March 1984) this got a release on Elektra in the US. Sinewy electro with lots of DAF references. The “Live” percussion and simple references.

Produced with Mike Hedges who puts a bit of a Soft Cell sleaze in arrangement. The sounds are a little bit more refined that the DAF output but he seems to use the same drum machine setting (4 to the floor) so it can plod on a bit. “I Love Me” , for example, that sounds a bit Nitzer Ebb.

Track 3 must have some Lennox input on synths. It has a bit of a 50’s swing to it with synth horns / samples.

Closing track 4 is the experimental track based on a 13th Century bit of writing by Walther Von Metze. Live drums and just voice, ambience and bass synth. mmm filler but the album has only 8 tracks!

Queen King is enjoyable with brighter synths but drags a bit. “Love In Mind” has it’s eye on the Disco and rattles about to get you moving. The next, a single, has already featured on here link below.

The last track could be DAF, minimalistic and sounding almost live.

  1. I have had a copy of this and the “Darling Don’t Leave Me” 12” for decades… in a huge Tourists/Eurythmics phase right now so I need to actually play those! Wasn’t Annie involved with Görl around this time?

  2. I bought this on release, played it once and was so disappointed I never played it again. Such a shame, I loved DAF.
