I've put a mix together of 80s' sounds that weave an evocative picture, for me, of the early to mid (ish) years of that decade. Some of you may be familiar with at least a clutch of these, or maybe not. A couple, at the very least, were nestling right at the back of the vinyl mountain. Unloved and unplayed since then. Until now. Also, there's a couple of tracks here that we regularly play out at CTR. I'd hate to put a tag on this mix, I know that I'd be wrong. So, I won't do it.
It starts pretty slowly-bear with it..it's worth it.
Here's the tracklist:
400 Blows- The Morality Of Attitude (Illuminated LP track)
Pink Industry-Empty Beach (Remix) (Cathexis 12" 1984)
Kissing The Pink-Water In My Eye (Instrumental) (Magnet 7" 1983)
Pete Shelley-Many A Time (Dub Mix) (Genetic 12" 1983)
Nightmoves-Transdance (NYC Mix) 1983
Bonar Bradberry-Carlos The Jackal (Red Music 12”)
Bill Nelson-Hard Facts From The Fiction Department (Cocteau 12" 1984)
Fashion -Streetplayer (Mutant Mekanic Mix) (Arista 12" 1983)
Editechnique-Dirty Kissing 12" (Magickedits 12")
Simple Minds-League Of Nations (Virgin 12" 1981)
Gina x - Nice Mover (EMI 1979)
Telex-Soulwaves (Instrumental) (Sire 1980 7")
Deluxe A - Boys On TV (Long Version) (EMI 1982)
