A bit of a request for today, ladies and gentlemen, as I've uploaded a rather stellar mix of early synthpunk/new/minimal wave tunes. I can't take credit for creating it, as this mix was originally constructed by Miss Amy Sammartino, a friend of mine from California. It's both a great introduction to the wonderful synth-based rock world, offering a few choice cuts spanning the late seventies/early eighties. The name derives from the 1966 satircal comedy Lord Love a Duck, the dialogue which is sampled on one of this mixes' best tracks.
Some of these artists have been featured on these back pages (mostly in earlier days), while others are both favorites old and new, so be sure to give this mix a spin and let me know what you dig. I have full records by most bands on the mix, so I'd be happy to upload a few for curious parties. Here's the tracklisting, without any further ado:
1. People Like You- Nervous Gender
2. Uncircumsized Twin- Plastic Idols
3. Appeal to Them- Tone Set
4. Elevate (7'' Version)- Voice Farm
5. Alien Day- Radio Free Europe

7. The Beat Goes On- The Screamers
8. Integrating Circuits- Standing Waves
9. The Politics of Ecstasy- Body Falling Downstairs
10. The Things That You Do- Bob
11. Breakout- Drinking Electricity
12. Microbes- Mekanik Commando
13. Out of Order- The Skinnies
14. Happy Funeral- Kitchen and the Plastic Spoons
15. G-Stalt- Scientific Americans
16. Lawnchairs (Remix)- Our Daughter's Wedding
17. Be A Zombie- Los Reactors
18. Shopping- Pink Section

I heard this whiles ago on slsk. I think it is an interesting mix. Strange and diverse:)
Fantastic compilation. If you have the Voice Farm "The World We Live In" and Nervous Gender "Music from Hell" albums and could upload them some day I'd be eternally grateful.
