Customer Reviews:
Excellent New Wave Compilation!.......2001-07-16
Since 1992, New Wave Compilations have been made all over the world and one of the few great collections has to be Pop and Wave! Two Disk sets with 36 songs with occassionally the hardest to find gems included, it is worth the import price. Volume 8 is as of 2001 the newest installment and it contains a wonderful blend of the bands that helped make some of the most innovative music including New Order, Alphaville, Eurythmics, Visage, the Specials, Simple Minds, Killing Joke, Big Audio Dynamite and more! All in all there are 8 volumes to the series (at least so far, I thought they were going to stop at 5 back in 1995 and they've put out three more since then!), plus some sequels such as Best of Pop and Wave (which contains extended dance mixes to some of the songs), Rock and Wave (brilliantly captures the gothic soundtrack of the early 80's!), and Punk and Wave. Sony Music Media from Germany couldn't have delivered such better mixes than the CD burner from an enthusiastic fan of the new wave movement! If you're a fan of new wave and looking for hard to find tunes, this is one of the collections you must have!
