"Ghosts" by Comateens

[TheLegendaryTim]

Oliver North was a member of this band.

temazo, sonaba cada noche en el Biz Pix club allá por el 82!!!

[YanisJanis]

Sounds so much like Hot Chip. Must be a huge influence.

[CLUBMRX]

SORRY I DON'T AGREE AT ALL!

HOT CHIP HAS A RETRO SOUND

BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THIS GEM!

[gmercado]

@YanisJanis Disagree. Hot chip is the kind of thing you hear at some lame GAP store.

I saw these guys live back in '79 or '80 at the old 9:30 club in Wash DC. Their groove (as good as it is in the studio) was even better live. Everybody was dancing their butt off at that show.

[JaimeJavierAD]

alucinante...Los Comateens!!!

[doctorthirteen]

this is their best album.

[TheMathmatic]

Oh yes! The Comateens debut LP is such a killer record. Found my copy of it in a used record shop for about a buck (!). Too bad that this is the only song on youtube from that record though...and too bad that they didn't stay this good for the rest of their career.

[infernicide666]

Were they ever that popular? I haven't heard much about them and have seen one of their videos on beavis and butthead but they seem pretty damn obscure.Did they ever acheive platinum success?

[xrays76]

There used to be a better version of this on YouTube.

[DarkEyesOfLondon]

This epitomises NYCool for me, 1981 OR 2008.

and i love the introduction

[specialross77]

I wish I had been old enough to get into this when it came out but I was only 4 in 1981

[jackmybody]

she's the coolest woman i've ever seen, and she plays the synth like a pro. what a turn on. i just found out about this group and their music last week and i love it. can't stop playing their music. i can't find their music on cd anywhere. anyone know more about comamom discs?

[pianoman74]

I take your point ... Lyn Byrd is great (I'm a synth player myself, so ...)

[Tazz77]

Brings back memories. They made an appearance on a kids show on the Nickelodeon network and were one of the first bands I ever saw that didn't have a drummer.

[joliroi]

My favourite song of comateens that nostalgia and melancholy.

When we hear that we really want to be their friend

[jimmiaccardi]

I like it. My only question: how much do all 3 of you weigh put together?

[iamthejake2000]

wow, no one knew back then how BIG they were gonna get.

[80sbwoy]
