THE REELS - Quasimodo's Dream '81

Regular Blog readers should of grabbed this already from overhere, I just wanted to post this one to show off the signed cover hehe. The Quasimodo's Dream album represents a unique moment in Australian rock history. The heavily synth-orientated sounds, reverb-less drums and lack of guitars contrasted sharply with the classic oz rock of the day, like AC/DC, The Angels, Rose Tattoo and Cold Chisel. The Reels' lack of mainstream commercial success was at odds with their strong live following, but it was due in part to the restrictive programming on commercial radio at that time, which gave little exposure to local "new wave" acts
