Pauline Murray And The Invisible Girls
Pauline Murray And The Invisible Girls
(RSO, 1980)
Former Penetration star steps out with Martin Hannett, Vini Reilly et al. MOJO messageboarder swoons.
A fantastic and disconcerting journey through a murky post-punk world. Produced by Martin Hannett, it was always going to have a Factory sound – even though it was originally put out on the RSO label) – and I've often thought of it as the greatest record Factory never released. Its format is standard - two sides of 3-minute pop songs – but that's about as close to convention as it dares to drift. Murray shows a surprising willingness (given her back catalogue to that point) to engage with melodic vocals – breathy and urgent on Time Slipping, wide-eyed and credulous on Dream Sequence 1 – but, while there are any number of odd-pop gems, they’re shrouded in post-industrial, nigh-on-apocalyptic arrangements. If you can track down the vinyl album there’s the bonus of one of the great album covers (a Peter Saville design, natch); the cover of the (now unavailable) CD version is much less spectacular but does have the bonus of the inclusion of Murray's subsequent single Searching For Heaven. Summing it up – it's like Joy Division with female vocals but none of the despair. A great and lost little album.

Yes it'd be a great idea next time this wonderful piece of work is released to add "Two Shots" & "Dream Sequence II"
and Sea song by Penetration proves she still has that magic, you can find it in amazon downloads if you're interested
