Release The Tension – Circuit (7) – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

Circuit (7)’s ‘Release The Tension’ pulses with the kind of kinetic charge that defined early electronic music in the UK underground. This album is a testament to the DIY spirit of the late ’70s and early ’80s, when analog synths, drum machines, and a sense of outsider artistry collided to create something genuinely new. The duo’s minimalist approach—sharp, angular synth lines, robotic vocals, and propulsive rhythms—captures a moment when pop was being reimagined by machines, but never loses its sense of human urgency. ‘Release The Tension’ stands out not just for its period accuracy but for its infectious melodies and sly, subversive lyricism, reflecting a time when the boundaries between pop, punk, and electronic music were thrillingly porous. For collectors and enthusiasts, this album represents a crucial node in the evolution of synth-pop and electronic music, echoing the likes of early Depeche Mode or The Normal, yet with a distinct, quirky British edge. Owning this record is like holding a piece of electronic music’s rebellious adolescence—perfect for spinning at high volume or savoring with headphones, when you crave both nostalgia and a jolt of pure, analog energy.
