Secession - A Dark Enchantment [1987 Synthpop]

Secession was a Scottish synth pop band that existed between 1983 and 1987. Secession consisted of Peter J. Thomson, Carole L. Branston, Charlie D. Kelly, and J.L. Seenan. Their singer, Peter J. Thomson, who penned their most commercially successful song song "Touch (Part 3)", died in the late 1990s. A Dark Enchantment was their only release on CD; this CD is prized by collectors of rare 1980s music. It's interesting to know that the single "Sneakyville" A popular dance club hit, was about the Charles Manson Family murders. Part of the lyrics goes like this: "Strangers all came to call in the dead of night, on a warm August evening back in 69" "But the screams so it seems noone heard at all, close your eyes when the family come to call" ...... spooky, chilling and awesome!

I was one of those who bought 10 copies of CD and as many record albums as I could find. I still play this recording to people who have never heard of them, and all say it was just released.
During the times there was no other group that produced this kind of sound, they were way ahead of there time.

Thank you! First time I hear this band. This album is awesome, hard to believe it's from 1987, sounds so modern. What a shame they just released one album.

Thanks kindly!
I was listening to an '80's station and they played 'Simon Says' from this group. If this is their ONLY album, how can that be...???
Cheers!
