Both volumes of Dark Entries’ compilation of underground music from San Francisco (and the greater Bay Area) made between 1978-1988 are available here! Collecting tracks from the Bay Area (at the time a hotbed for experimental and quirky new wave, post punk, and synthpop) that draw a comparison to New York’s No Wave scene and Berlin’s Neue Deutsche Welle.
