[RiotNrrrdUTube]

I have this album, bought it new in 1981. The whole album is f&cking fantastic.

[dallasbucky]

bought it in '81... thought this was the new breakthrough in music... then the disappointment that was New Wave followed

[jangenk]

TOTAL nostalgia.... absolutely top of the 80's alternatives

[freevracman]

Souvenir,Souvenir,,,World Of Rubber Est Vraiment Un Album fabuleux...

[Lyagushka]

The Brittleheaven site lays it all out, it seems to be Borland central.

Adrian Borland - the great undiscovered! About 18 months ago I rediscovered him - ' The Sound' era largely, I've 4+ albums in storage and a Kevin Hewick + the Sound 12" single. Now I'm expanding on the later CD releases, the live stuff is absolutely brilliant - the real thing.... those guitar tones.... seen him live - at the Marquee in 85. Truly one of the best, but sadly gone - his music lives on though and he left loads of stuff, beautiful stuff.

Second Layer is featured in the new 'Cherry Red' 8 CD release - 'Fixation' & 'Courts Or Wars' is that the B-side to the 7" single though, I've never seen it CHERRY 21.

I do have the 1981 'World Of Rubber' LP and the 2 early 7" singles released on their DIY Tortch Records back in 1979.

Even the his unreleased & demo recordings are truly quite amazing for the time.

The Outsiders/Second Layer/The Sound/Adrian Borland & The Citizens/Lovefield/White Rose Transmission, all well worth checking out!

Sorry, I almost forgot to mention 'Honolulu Mountain Daffodils'

[Lyagushka]

Great Stuff!

[Vinylist70]

But nobody knew ^^

[maisiew123]

I knew

[COUVELOMBARDA]

i knew. i have all the second layer stuff and to tell you the truth its a rare but a brilliant sound. second layer were an experimental band formed only by Borland and Bailey. They had never made a live concert under this name. this was a pure intrument experimentation project with lots of emotion and criativity in it... one guitar a drum machine and a synth and voila! this is a good lesson of how to do original music...

ps: my favorite song of them btw :]

[INM0R4L]

Adrian Borland was a genius.

Anyway I bet someone plays this in the radio today and peeps will be looking for a 2009 CD of a new band called Second Layer.

[Misterioso]

@INM0R4L That he was, he is missed by many.
