Ludus - I Can't Sleep I Have Nightmares
The Damage, 2002.

Ludus was a British post-punk band formed in Manchester in 1978 who featured artist, disc cover designer and singer Linder Sterling. They played jazz, avant-garde and punk oriented songs. The band influenced singer Morrissey, later of The Smiths and solo artist, who remains one of the group's biggest fans.

History
The band was founded by Linder Sterling and guitarist Arthur Kadmon. Sterling, who in the arts and music scene was credited as Linder, was an artist who designed the cover of Buzzcocks' single Orgasm Addict and Magazine's debut album Real Life; and Kadmon was formerly in Manicured Noise. Shortly after the formation, ex-Nosebleeds drummer Philip "Toby" Tomanov and bassist Willie Trotter joined to complete the band. The band debuted live at the Factory Club, supporting The Pop Group, in October 1978, the same month they recorded a first studio demo. Later, they toured in some parts of England, like the Eric's Club in Liverpool and, travelling with Magazine, The Venue in London, in November the same year.
Since their live debut at The Factory, Ludus was favourably criticised by the press..
