NOW 80s Alternative by Various Artists [CD]

Description: NOW Music proudly presents NOW - 80s Alternative: 80 tracks across 4 CDs encapsulating the era and celebrating an incredibly diverse decade for Alternative music. CD1 showcases genre-defining bands and kicks off with New Orders sublime Thieves Like Us, Eurythmics stunning Beethoven (I Love To Listen To) and Joy Divisions era defining Love Will Tear Us Apart. Post-Punk New Wave exploded on to the charts, and The Associates, The Jam, Echo And The Bunnymen, Pretenders, and Siouxsies side project The Creatures are all included. The U.S. Alt scene provided R.E.M., Pixies, The Psychedelic Furs, and the David Bowie co-write Shades from Iggy Pop. Plus, some of the best written Pop songs ever, represented here by David Sylvian, Marc Almond, Aztec Camera, Pete Wylie & The Mighty WAH!, The Adventures and Tom Robinson. The (still) incredible O Superman from Laurie Anderson opens the second disc, along with other synth-based classics from Yello, Propaganda, Midge Ure & Mick Karn, Japan, Electronic and a brilliant single from Japanese band Sandii & The Sunsetz. The epic This Corrosion from Sisters Of Mercy starts CD3 in grandiose style - and is followed with atmospheric masterpieces from Siouxsie And The Banshees, Bauhaus, The Cure and a second appearance from Joy Division - before some late 80s Alternative essentials, including Bjorks band The Sugarcubes, Act, The Mission, All About Eve, The Cults Edie (Ciao Baby), This Is England from The Clash, and The Falls version of Theres A Ghost In My House, before closing with two more great examples of U.S. Alt Pop from The Go-Gos, and The Waitresses. Opening with the song that launched one of the defining bands of the era, The Smiths, with Hand In Glove the final CD features a stellar line up of 80s Alternative Chart hits - The Icicle Works, Its Immaterial, B-Movie, Kissing The Pink and Gang Of Four are all featured with timeless singles. Altered Images, Toyah and Adam & The Ants would go on to find huge mainstream success in the early 80s - and we celebrate these artists with their earlier singles. Big Audio Dynamite, Julian Cope and XTC are also included before the collection draws to a close with Latin Quarters Radio Africa - and Scritti Polittis 1981 single The Sweetest Girl.
