NOW 80s Alternative by Various (4XCD 2023) 80 Track UK Import NEW/SEALED

Description: NOW – 80s Alternative: 80 tracks across 4 CDs – encapsulating the era and celebrating an incredibly diverse decade for ‘Alternative’ music.Disc 1 showcases this diversity: Kicking off with Eurythmics stunning ‘Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)’, and Propaganda’s magnificent debut ‘Dr. Mabuse’, before The B-52’s bring U.S. New Wave with ‘Planet Claire’. Post-Punk Pop exploded on the charts of the early 80s, and The Associates and The Stranglers feature, as do The Adventures ‘Broken Land’ and Marc Almond’s ‘Stories Of Johnny’ – both amazing songs. That caliber of song writing is continued with Tom Robinson’s ‘Atmospherics…’ and the Elvis Costello co-write ‘Shipbuilding’, beautifully realized by Robert Wyatt. Next up is the understated classic ‘I’m In Love With A German Film Star’ from The Passions, leading into Synth-Pop from Yello, Midge Ure & Mick Karn, Japan and a brilliant single from Japanese band Sandii & The Sunsetz. Disc 2 has the defining U.S. New Wave smash ‘Whip It’ from DEVO.The epic ‘This Corrosion’ from Sisters Of Mercy starts Disc 3 in grandiose style, followed by atmospheric masterpieces from Siouxsie And The Banshees, Bauhaus and The Cure. The debut hit from Bjork’s band The Sugarcubes with ‘Birthday’ follows, before David Sylvian’s ‘Pop Song’, and ‘Flowers’ from Zaine Griff (featuring Kate Bush on backing vocals).The final Disc opens with the song that launched one of the defining bands of the era, The Smiths, with ‘Hand In Glove’. Timeless hits from Aztec Camera and the Pretenders lead to R.E.M., the Pixies and The Psychedelic Furs representing the U.S. Alt scene, and the collection draws to a close with The Cult’s ‘Edie (Ciao Baby)’, and The Clash’s commentary on the era ‘This Is England’.NOW – 80s Alternative – A celebration of a different view of the decade’s charts – the lesser-compiled 1980’s singles.CD 1New Order – Thieves Like UsEurythmics, Annie Lennox, Dave Stewart – Beethoven (I Love To Listen To)Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us ApartDavid Sylvian – Red GuitarThe Associates – Party Fears TwoMarc Almond – Stories Of JohnnyAztec Camera – ObliviousPete Wylie & The Mighty WAH! – Come BackThe Adventures – Broken LandIggy Pop – ShadesPretenders – Talk Of The TownR.E.M. – So.
