英国BBC放送における1980年代のアーカイヴコレクション決定版が2枚組大量収録で出ました。冒頭はニューロマンティック系のミュージシャンで埋め尽くされております。デュラン・デュラン、カルチャークラブ等日本でも大変な人気でしたね。中盤からはホイットニー、アレキサンダー・オニールなどのR & Bと今には絶対にない古き良き音楽。YazzoやHuman League シンセ系からOrange Juice やAztec Camera、スタカン等のネオアコ、ブルーアイドソウル軍団。と思いきやZZ Top モーターヘッドのヘヴィメタルそしてモダンパンクのCult,Smithらへと繋がります。終盤は当時頭角をあらわしてきた、オールドスクールのRun DMCやビースティー・ボーイズをとどめに、ごちゃまぜ何でもありの1980年代を十二分にお楽しみください。メニューチャプター仕様です。
