The Unknown Beauty Of The 80s

I could not resist. So to end the year in style I decided to come up with two new compilations to round up the number to 70.

Volume 69
Volume 70

Just perchance ran into your blog, enjoy combing through the New Wave rarities and downloaded 60s onward and have found a gem or two in each folder I had never heard before. Thanks... wish I had found you earlier for some of the earlier releases. Some of it is just horrible, some strangely alluring, and a couple are just bloody brilliant. I love a hidden gem find. Thanks for what ya do.

But since a couple of weeks I am using a great cross reference site called Nederlandse vinylsingles . The guys behind this site are doing a great job, tracking down all Dutch vinyl singles.

Not only the group name refers to Adam And The Ants, t...

The Unknown Beauty Of The 80s

Back to 2005 when I created a compilation series of eighties tracks collected from various sources over the internet. The series ended after 60 volumes and a bonus volume. Ten years after date I picked up the project by trying to find all featured tracks in a 320Kbps MP3 rip. It took me several months but in the end was able to get the job done. The funny thing is that each time I was triggered to return to those 80s music styles after I decided to quit, or taking a break from, writing for the Dutch progressive rock magazine iO Pages. This summer the magazine celebrated their 150 issue. For me time to call it a day. So as expected I turned back to the 80s favorite music styles like new wave, post punk, synthpop, gothic and more. Over the months I collected a lot of new unknown songs to me and created seven new volumes. Through this blog entry I temporarily offer you, just before Christmas, the volumes 62 to 68 as seperate downloads. So what can you expect. A great bunch of,...
