"This is Not the 80s" (2-Disc UK Import, 2002) RARE

Label: INcredible.........OUT OF CIRCULATION, NO LONGER MADE BY MANUFACTURER...........'This is NOT the 80s' the title insists, but from the first track you'd be hard pressed to believe it. DMX KREW's undeniably catchy '17 ways' is likely to repel anyone who does not look back at the era of DURAN DURAN, SPANDAU BALLET et al with rose tinted spectacles. but for those who do, its like finding an undiscovered gem on an otherwise ropey 'best of the 80s' comp. However, this highly revivative, and enjoyable first track is only a taster of whats to come. The albums mainly consist of the nu-wave-of-new-wave-of-futuristic-synthcore-electroclash posse, but obvious anthems (FISCHERSPOONER's 'emerge,' TIGA's 'sunglasses at night') are absent, which is a refreshing change for those who own several of the current electro compilations doing the rounds. Though the mixing of the similary bleepy gigolo compilations (AmericanGigolo is the one to look out for), is much smoother, all tracks fit together top quality jigsaw. Essentially, if you know the genre well, a look at the information above will be enough for you to decide on the merit of track listing. If you a new comer to this electro lark, but you like the idea of heavy breathing over non-sensical french woman over swirly bleeps over black leather, then i sincerely recommend a purchase......This 2-Discs-in-1-CDcase item comes stored in a little box, which has served to endure most of the wear & tear that would have otherwise been inflicted on the case. So the box has some scratches and worn areas, but the CD case carrying both discs itself is quite Minty. The discs inside are in Very Good shape too, as they have only been handled and played a few times over the years. Overall, the condition is VERY GOOD (again, save for the protective covering box).......................Various - This Is Not The 80s - A Nu-Wave Electro Compilation. Released: 22 Jul 2002.
