A great compilation of early 80's synth pop and new wave hits. Eight tracks
were UK top-ten charters and the other ten tracks are exceptional in their own
merit. For anyone who loves beautiful, well-composed tracks, this CD is a
must-have. My favorite cut is John Foxx's - 'Underpass' which was huge over in
Germany -- (I happened to be living there in '89...). In addition, the
inclusion of the dance-floor-friendly Thompson Twins '88 Remix is a nice
bonus.
