VA MINISTRY OF SOUND ANTHEMS ELECTRONIC 80's
Audio CD 9 Nov 2009
Number of Discs: 3
Label: Ministry of Sound UK
Format:Flac
This album charts the birth of synthesised 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 synthesised music producers in Kraftwerk, The Human League, Heaven 17, The B.E.F., 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 synth - pop from The Thompson Twins, Scritti Politti, 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.
