Super Mid-80's Collection.......2001-12-27

Many of the better songs from the mid-80's can be found on this CD. I think that Rhino may have copied a play list from the the Bay Area radio station the Quake (now Live 105) in 1987 to come up with this set of music. At any rate, they made an excellent choice.

Some of the very best (if not the best) material from bands such as R.E.M., Love & Rockets, New Order, Psychedelic Furs, Concrete Blonde, Julian Cope, and Hoodoo Gurus is included here. Icicle Works epic "Understanding Jane" and the Bangles cover "Hazy Shade of Winter" are welcome gems too. The only song that I don't like is "Fight Like a Brave" which is too hip hop for my taste.

In general, this CD encapsulates some of the best New Wave melodies of the period. It is difficult not to bop around the house when this CD is played.

Dig up the DJ!.......2005-06-20

If you can find these- snap them up! I have had these compilations for years- I think they only made three of them. (1986, 1987, and 1988.) I have owned them for longer than I care to admit. They survived years of heavy rotation in my CD changer, and I had to stage covert operations to snag them back from over-enthusiastic borrowers more than once.

Between the three discs, a lot of great material is covered- I guarantee you'll re-discover some old favorites. If you're a fan of New Wave 80's stuff, and are familiar with the usual stale offerings of the standard compilation discs- these will be a refreshing surprise.

I highly recommend all three of these CD's, and you might also want to take a look at the MTV's 120 Minutes compilations, which date back to when MTV actually had- GASP!- decent programming.

Good compilation of alternative 80's music.......2004-11-30

This CD offers a good variety of the alternative music that was being produced in the 80's. So often a compilation of eighties music focuses on just a few more known bands from the eighties (like The Cure or Duran Duran.) It's too bad that it is so difficult to find. Even Amazon only lists 1986, 1987, and 1988.

If you like this stuff..........2003-01-30

I bought this CD after hearing my friend's favorite tracks, which were:
"Panic" -- The Smiths
"Cities In Dust" -- Siouxsee & The Banshees
"Pretty In Pink" -- The Psychedelic Furs
"Peter Gunn" -- The Art Of Noise
"Walk Like An Egyptian" -- The Bangles
"Weird Science" -- Oingo Boingo
Now, aside from those tracks, the CD pretty much .... Still, It's worth buying for those tracks....If you like that kind of stuff. If you don't, then don't buy it, but it's your loss.

Concise yet thorough collection of New Wave,highly recommend.......1998-12-21

Listening to this cd for the first time was like stepping back to the year 1986. All the songs are good and representative of the memorable New Wave songs and bands of the early and mid 80's. A great cd for someone who wants to relive that era without buying a bunch of cds.
