LIVING LINKS – Gathering The Forces LP (1985)



We have here a very interesting and obscure album by an alternative new wave indie group from Baton Rouge, LA. Many of the songs deal with a war/battle theme, and are delivered in a cool peculiar manner. The title song has an almost undulating bass line throughout the song with simple guitar and synth arrangements. And check out the song “For The Paramecium” which is about some freaky water protozo--it has a load of interesting lyrics that are funny and off the wall... There are a variety of influences at work here…and it’s all good stuff...not widely known…different…..the way we like it.
