Stevie Tieken - Shooting Down The Moon (Illinois, New Wave, Funk, Power-Pop, Disco, Synth-Pop, Boogie) [1988]

Stevie Tieken - Shooting Down The Moon 1988

Synth-Pop, Disco, New Wave, Funk

This forgotten Chicago musician dabbles in New Wave, Disco, Synth-Pop, and Electro-Funk in 4 catchy songs, including a killer cover of Eleanor Rigby, all while boasting "THIS ALBUM IS NOT SEQUENCED" on the back of the sleeve. The production, the songwriting, the synth work, the mullet; all of it is quite impressive. A wonder and a shame that after such a strong EP, Tieken never recorded a follow up, or was recognized for his music.

It seems that Stevie (now Steve) is still in Illinois working as an archeologist. I may contact him and follow up with more information.
