El Dorado from 1985 was Allergy’s first full length album, featuring one studio and one live side. The style is still pretty similar to Allergy Process from 1983, only a bit softer maybe. So if funk influenced post punk is your thing you can’t go wrong with this record.

To the golden one!

Oh man, bands like Allergy and their 1983 アレルギー作用 12“ are the very reason I often despair describing music (well no, not really despair). Sure, „post-“ is a catch-all term I could certainly use, but damn! Resorting to comparisons always works, too: the funky bass lines are surely influenced by Killing Joke’s Youth, and the singer’s wails and warbles bring Theatre Of Hate to mind, but Allergy are definitely no rip-off. Guitarist Ono also played on The Stalin‘s Fish Inn LP, which might be a further indication of what Allergy are about musically.
