Gina X Performance - Yinglish - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Ankor is an Alternative Metal band based in Catalonia, Spain, fast becoming one of the rising stars in the European contemporary metal scene. Their new episodic EP Shoganai displays the bands sonic evolution - a fusion of Asian pop-culture, contemporary metalcore, and a dash of Spanish heritage.The multicultural quintet, consisting of vocalist Jessie Williams (Bristol, UK), drummer Eleni Nota (Athens, Greece), guitarists David Romeu, Fito Martinez and bassist Julio López (Catalonia, Spain), have grown steadily since their origins in Els Pallaresos, a village near Barcelona, back in 2003.From these humble beginnings, Ankor have built a worldwide fanbase and a reputation for being an absolute powerhouse live, through headlining tours of mainland Europe and Asia. But it was with the December 2022 of breakthrough single InchPrisonerInch that a new era begun.Ankor's audience is now growing at an incredible pace; the quintet played a series of sold out headline shows across Europe on the 'DARKBEAT Tour' in autumn of 2023, which has opened the door to slots on the mainland's biggest metal festivals like Wacken Open Air (Germany), Hellfest (France), Tuska (Finland), Bloodstock Open Air (UK) and Resurrection Fest (Spain).

LTM is proud to announce the first on CD of the second album by Gina X Performance, an acknowledged new wave/electro classic first released in 1980. Formed in Cologne, Germany, the core of Gina X Performance comprised charismatic Gina Kikoine (vocals and lyrics) and writer-producer-musician Zeus B. Held. Between 1979 and 1984 the group released four albums of cool arthouse electro-disco Nice Mover, X-Traordinaire, Voyeur and Yinglish. Their classic 1979 single No G.D.M. was a club hit on both sides of the Atlantic and remains a cult classic thanks to electro/synthcore compilations such as Nag Nag Nag. Slinky second single Nice Mover is also an established favourite, having appeared on the Andrew Weatherall compilation Nine O'Clock Drop. As well as stand-out tracks Striptease, Opposite Numbers and the single Do It Yourself, this new extended CD edition also features four bonus tracks from the 1984 album Yinglish. In 2005 Q Magazine's electro-pop special rated No G.D.M. as one of the most influential songs to come out of the Continent a fact made clear by even the most cursory listen to Ladytron, Goldfrapp or Miss Kitten and the Hacker. The CD features twelve digitally remastered tracks and runs for 60 minutes. The booklet preserves the original artwork from the 1980 album as well as a detailed artist biography.
