UK three CD collection. This release charts the birth of synthesized pop music in the 1980s and ultimately the roots of contemporary electronic dance music. The importance and continued popularity of '80s pop is not to be underestimated, and the emergence of serious synthesized music producers in Kraftwerk, The Human League, Heaven 17, OMD, Yazoo, Ultravox, Talk Talk, Japan, Devo, Sparks, Gary Numan, New Order and The Pet Shop Boys, all of whom massively pushed the boundaries in experimenting with (mainly) Roland synths in this era, ultimately showed the way for the House and Techno producers of the '90s to the present day. Within this more serious side there was also some brilliant, pure Synthpop from The Thompson Twins, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Thomas Dolby, Simple Minds, Propaganda, Erasure, China Crisis, Belouis Some, The Lotus Eaters, A Flock Of Seagulls, Howard Jones, Blancmange and The Associates. Ministry Of Sound.

Complete waste of money
I would give this zero stars if I could. This is just the plain simple versions of 80's songs straight up. No new take, no remix, extended, nothing!There's a couple of remixes, but they have been released a thousand times over. I have a ton of 80's compilations, and I will buy one even if there is only one thing new on it. This offers none of that, coupled with no imagination. Complete waste of money, and worse yet, time spent listening hoping for something. Yeah because I couldn't hear Whip it by Devo on 1,000 other compilations. Totally lame!
