The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's Volume 100

And so we come on the last April Friday of the year 2020 to Volume 100.
Never did I expect when I started this project way back in 2005, that I would get to number 100.
But well I reached the 100. I am not gonna predict how long I wish to continue, simply because I still like to search for Unknown Beauties and also I am a hugh fan of eighties New Wave, Synthpop etc. and prefer and appreciate to listen to non charting alternative music. Of which I always wonder why did such nice tunes not make it into the charts.

The tracks:

01 About 9 Times - There Is No… 3:54
02 Two Mind Crack - Upside Down 4:55
03 Telepathic - We Are Telepathique 4:05
04 Panic - Ticket To The Tropics (extended cub mix) 6:20
05 Ronny - If You Want Me To Stay 5:48
06 The Stage - I See Love 2:56
07 The Klones - Disco Rhythm 3:35
08 50/50 - Memories Linger (7" single) 3:30
09 The Time Dance - Picture 3:43
10 Frozen Ghost - Promises 3:52
11 Villa De Ville - Everything Counts 3:20
12 Future Daze - House On The Hill 2:45
13 Strange Advance -Hold On To The Nite 4:34
14 The Passions - Oh No It's You 4:28
15 West End - The Servant 3:20
16 Airstrip - One Satellite (slow motion mix) 6:50
17 Boys Don't Cry - Love Talk 4:39
18 Steve Kent - Twelfth House 4:17
19 Screen 3 - City Of Souls 2:53

Hi,

I am very grateful that you put up all these new compilations with music that got widely thrown under the bus in the 1980s. Till now I could only get your volumes from 77-100.
I would appreciate it very very much if you would be able to upload the volumes 1 through 76 again. I've looked everywhere and can't find them anywhere.
I'm certain there are many 80s fans out their you would make very happy by uploading them again.
Thanks for your tireless work hunting and gathering all these never heard before jewels of a long gone decade (musically the best decade in history of mankind so far) anyway.
Thanks & Bye

An Introduction To Dutch New Wave Vol. 32

And that brings us to Volume 32 of An Introduction To Dutch New Wave. This time 65% of the numbers came from recent purchased vinyl. I will keep telling that Discogs has become a major resource for discovering and hunting vinyl from bands and artists, that sometimes released one single only. 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. Some information on several songs. The Kimono track is spelled wrong. I kept it this way, since the cover of the single shows the same title. It’s one of the groups of which I used the single b-side instead of the a-side. The others are Blackout (b-side of Obscure Disco), G.T. Modell (b-side of Scratch Your Act) and Weekend At Waikiki (b-side of The Valley). Frederic And The Flies was a one off project by producer duo Bolland and Bolland. Not only the group name refers to Adam And The Ants, t

A Flock Of Seagulls

Being a fan for many many years I was really surprised the band decided finally, after 25 years, to do an European tour again. I am aware of the fact that it's only Mike Score nowadays who's left of the old line-up. Still I like to see them, because back in 1984 I was unable to visit the famous Noorderligt at Tilburg. On 09-09-09 A Flock Of Seagulls will play the well known Paradiso theatre in Amsterdam. I became an instant fan of the four when I heard I Ran on the radio. But it was Wishing (if I had a photograph of you) which really turned me into AFOS. Through the years I was able to track down most of their vynil releases. And of course the CD's followed as well. I even became a member of the Airborne Division. With the internet things changed and in 1996 I was able to get a CDR copy of most of the b-sides and rare recordings of AFOS ripped from vynil, which I like to share with you. The recordings are from the period 1982 - 1985 when they had the line-up of: Mike Score
