Isolation Ward - Point Final

Point Final is the first CD release by Belgian cold wave band Isolation Ward, formed in Brussels in 1979 and centred around musicians Stéphane Willocq and Jean-Pierre Everaerts....

After live shows at venues such as Plan K, the band recorded haunting classic Lamina Christus as their first single, produced by Peter Principle of Tuxedomoon, and released by Les Disques du Crépuscule in April 1982. Following live dates with diverse artists including The Birthday Party, Antena, 23 Skidoo and Siouxsie and the Banshees, the band released their second Crépuscule single Absent Heart a year later. However line-up changes troubled the band, and Isolation Ward played their final gig in May 1983.

Point Final features all tracks from the Crépuscule singles as well as the cassette album Point de Départ.
