CRIME & THE CITY SOLUTION - Shine LP
GOLD VINYL.
Crime and the City Solutionâs second studio album Shine reissued on gold vinyl. A band out of time, Crime and the City Solution were perennial outsiders who could not rest in their native Australia, and instead found inspiration in the colder climates of London and Berlin. Their mesmeric, expressive music evolved through many incarnations and a great deal of adversity. The first incarnation of the band appeared in 1977/78, in the midst of Australiaâs nascent punk scene and re-grouped in London in 1984 with Simon Bonney being joined by former Birthday Party stalwarts Mick Harvey and Rowland S.Howard, Rowlandâs bassist brother Harry and one time Swell Maps drummer Epic Soundtracks.
With the departure of Soundtracks and the Howard brothers for the formation of These Immortal Souls, Bonney, Harvey and Adams settled in Berlin. Here they called upon Thomas Stern, Bronwyn Adams, DAFâs Chrislo Haas and EinstĂŒrzende Neubautenâs guitarist Alexander Hacke to create Shine. The album was recorded at Hansa Tonstudio in the second half of 1987 and later released in 1988. Shine was more finely tuned, optimistic and delicately abrasive, with the reconstructed line-up admirably marrying Hackeâs post-punk-into-blues guitar with Adam's feathered violin and Bonneyâs gruff vocals.
