Second View - Machinery/Everything Is Gone 12" (1986)



Second View also known as The Moscopeboys. I'm still puzzled why they have 2 names but I guess this remains a mystery until we get one of the members of the band to post a comment on our blogspot. Anyway, according to my friend, The Moscopeboys was released under fun factory while the copy I have here was released by View Records. Could it be the record company who changed their names? hmmm.. I don't have any information about them but one thing for sure these guys are from Germany by looking at their names and credits on their record. I agree with my buddy Cino, that they sound real close to the wild swans. If you like this band, I recommend you look for the band Weeping Messerschmitts. With the style of music they have I think they are comparable to Second View. That's just my opinion. For Weeping Messerchmitt's sample audio, refer to this link: http://noiseboxmusiccollection.blogspot.com/2009/05/another-rare-discovery-by-larry.html
