Siglo XX - Dreams Of Pleasure 12"
Last release of Siglo XX early style. 'Dreams Of Pleasure (II)' is a reworked version of a song that appeared on their first mini album.
The other 2 tracks were also released as a 7" in the UK, to promote the band overthere but I guess without success. This -rare- 7" was issued on small label Paragon Records who also released fine records of In The Nursery, Biting Tongues and Leitmotiv.

Siglo XX- Re-Released '80-'82 LP
Fulfilling a request for today for Belgian post-punk/coldwave band Siglo XX. Siglo XX formed in 1980 during the fallout of the punk explosion, and the four piece outfit would drop a number of developmental DIY singles before recording their first record a few years later. Their sound was akin to the likes of the Factory Records crew, oftentimes hard-hitting and intense, while other times melodic, synthetic, and entrancing. Their name, which is Spanish for '20th Century,' stems from an anarchist movement and is representative of their gloom and doom sound, though the band loathed to be lumped in with their contemporaries.Siglo XX disappeared from view as the eighties fizzled out, leaving behind a local legacy of singles, seven full-lengths, and several compilations. I've uploaded their 1984 collection, entitled Re-Released '80-'82, which compiles their more formative (and in this author's opinion, better) material.

Siglo XX - Live Sides LP (1984)
[Antler ANT 031-2]
This is another forgotten band. Their sound is exquisitely unique. Someone pins them to the french cold-wave but to me they sounded like Siglo XX... (as Clan Of Xymox sounded like Clan Of Xymox back in 1985, and like other bands did sound like themselves). Besides that they were Belgian.
Belgian people, in general, and artists in particular, tend to be very true to themselves thus achieving really singular works. That's why they were ripped off by the spanish in the past and masochistically use spanish words today.
Well, I don't know who ripped these Belgians but He did good...
This is a live LP recorded early in their career. We could say that, as it was recorded and released way before their major three albums: Flowers For The Rebels (1987); Fear And Desire (1988) and Under A Purple Sky (1989)
Together with "Siglo XX" (mLP) [Antler ANT 031-1], Live Sides makes up the 1984 'Double Album' (2xLP) [Antler ANT 031] - The 5 tracks from "Siglo XX" can be found on the 1987 "Antler Tracks I" compilation CD [Antler ANT 087].
