Here is the sole release by Baraka, a rare French band crossing coldwave, new wave, touching pop, and synth. I would put them in the same category as bands like Smirnov and Fatidic Seconde. For a private press, quite polished and well-produced... so I would imagine they could have easily been radio pop if in the hands of a major label/producer... though like most bands they never made it to the big league and left us only with this gem. My copy is missing the insert, so I don't have much information... but this one was limited to 1,000 copies. "C'est Pour Ton Bien" is a great coldwave pop track!
To preview some samples:

01. Des Jours Meilleurs
02. C'est Pour Ton Bien

ReplyDeleteI'm using the unarchiver. it keeps telling me that the rar file is incomplete. I have tried to open this 3 times..and always.. no track 4. just get tracks 1-3.
DeleteI love all your re-up work. truly. my horizons have been expanded.
P.S. that White Russia 7'' was insanely good.
cheers from NYC.

I updated the file, so hopefully it works this time.
DeleteYou're right. I did a mass upload over a couple random days, so I did not check all of these. I'll try to fix it in the next day or two and will post here in the comments when a new file is available.
