Exploded View + Demos 1981 – 1984 2LP

An expanded double-LP of ‘Exploded View’ from minimal synth Dutch pioneers The Actor. A must have for the dusty/rusty analog synthesizers lovers. Mega TIP!!!

Originally released in 1982 by Trumpett Tapes, the album was repressed for the first time by Mannequin Records in 2014, and now is coming back to life again in 2022, enriched by an extra full-lenght of demos from a 1981-1984 period.

Singing both in English and German, The Actor songs are often related to modernism, fashion and dancing, like a sort of early incarnation of Depeche Mode but totally devoted to home taping and diy recordings, where Trumpett was definitely the perfect home for it, having releasing such amazing cassettes from Doxa Sinistra, Ende Shneafliet, Dr C.Stein, and many more.
