Lofofora la Distance

La Contra Ola is the fascinating 1st ever survey of Spanish electronic music during the post-punk and synth wave phenomenon which swept subterranean US and European scenes circa 1980-1986.

"From a Distance: The Event" is a live album by Cliff Richard, released in 1990 by EMI. The album was recorded in June 1989 at Richard's "The Event" concert, held at Wembley Stadium in London. The album peaked at number 3 in the UK albums chart and was certified double-platinum in the UK. Three singles were released from the album; "Silhouettes" (UK #10), "From a Distance" (UK #11) and "Saviour's Day", which was the 1990 UK Christmas number one.

Nothing can turn back the tides of time or stop their inexorable forward grind, but music can always be relied upon to make the journey more enjoyable. LONG DISTANCE CALLING have been expressing the inexpressible for the last 16 years, ploughing their primarily instrumental furrow with the skill and dexterity of true sonic artisans.
