NOW Music proudly presents NOW - 80s Alternative: 30 tracks across 2 LPs pressed on stunning pink vinyl - encapsulating the era and celebrating an incredibly diverse decade for Alternative music. LP1 s first side showcases this diversity: Kicking off with Eurythmics stunning Beethoven (I Love To Listen To) and Propaganda s magnificent debut Dr. Mabuse before The B-52 s bring U.S. New Wave with Planet Claire. Post-Punk Pop exploded on the charts of the early 80s and The Associates and The Stranglers feature as do The Adventures Broken Land and Marc Almond s Stories Of Johnny - both amazing songs. That calibre of song writing is continued on the second side with Tom Robinson s Atmospherics.. and the Elvis Costello co-write Shipbuilding beautifully realised by Robert Wyatt. Next up is the understated classic I m In Love With A German Film Star from The Passions leading into Synth-Pop from Yello Midge Ure & Mick Karn Japan and a brilliant single from Japanese band Sandii & The Sunsetz.
