The Unknown Beauty Of The 80s Vol. 76

This Volume was not planned for quite awhile. I was in the assumption that the first new addition would be a new installed of An Introduction To Dutch New Wave. But, unfortunately, while creating a bootable USB stick of Windows 10 Build 1809, I choose the wrong medium and therefore destroyed and formatted my "unsorted music SSD" containing an amount of 450GB of music, photos and other files. I tried several recovery programs resulting in the same outcome: I had lost the files. In the end I turned to a recovery firm, who offered to check my drive for free in five days. After that periods, possibly after shelving my drive and do nothing, they contacted me and told me they could give a good try after paying them nearly € 250. By that time, fortunately, I had found a backup of the drive dating to early September. I accepted the loss, and started to create the Spleen database again and supplement the Unknown Beauty database. Also it took me some time to create the other files.

The Unknown Beauty Of The 80s Vol. 75

Time is going fast when you are having fun, which brings me to Volume 75. The foundation was laid with several singles I ordered over the past few weeks. As with Volume 74 the search through Discogs, and the ordering of the singles, brought most of the tracks to this compilation. Again I enjoyed the search through Discogs the most, although it is always fun when a name and title can bring you so much pleasure when you discover the sound. Over the nest couple of weeks I will move my attention to some other things. I am in the progress of preparing an Exchange exam and besides that I work on a new Dutch New Wave compilation. The link
