Abecedarians

Musical Group or Musician

American post-punk trio active in the 1980s. The review names members Chris Manecke, John Blake and Kevin Dolan and highlights their clean, decided sound with hypnotic guitar and strong bass.

AB-CD: Greatest Hits was released by Caroline; the compilation includes tracks from Eureka and Resin and material from an early EP released on Factory. The band is presented as a West Coast trio (Chris Manecke, John Blake & Kevin Dolan) in the review.

Caspasian fondly recalls buying the AB‑CD: Greatest Hits CD and praises the trio (Chris Manecke, John Blake & Kevin Dolan) for a clean, decided sound. The review highlights rhythmic rarefaction, mesmerizing bass and hypnotic guitar spirals, with morriconesque 'spaghetti western' moments. The compilation collects material from Eureka, Resin and an early Factory EP.

For:Fans of 1980s post‑punk, dream pop and alternative rock; collectors of vintage CDs and LA‑scene aficionados.

 I already had Eureka and Resin on vinyl and I was eager to digitally "deflower" myself with this compilation released by Caroline, which included both mentioned works minus a couple of pieces, plus a piece from the first EP released by Factory.
