Iron Curtain - Desertion 1982-1988


Iron Curtain was a goth-tinged minimal-wave band from Santa Barbara, CA, who played regularly in the Los Angeles underground music scene. They were heavily influenced by The Cure, OMD, Joy Division, and Kraftwerk. The band released several records in small quantities even though they had a great fan base, and hence over the years these releases have gained mass cult appeal which has driven the prices of used copies up into the thousands. Featured on this release is the cult classic "The Condos," the goth-club-friendly track "Tarantula Scream," and the much-sought-after track "Legalize Heroin" which has a stark resemblance to My Bloody Valentine.

Brilliant stuff. This kind of stuff coming out of the US durring the 80s always strikes me as being a bit of an oddity. Not so much in recent years, with so many crap bands like Franz Ferdinand, Interpol and Coldplay blatantly ripping off bands like Joy Division.
