nice share, many thanks

[Passing_Stranger]

Guys, thank you very much for the kind words - so appreciated! In return - and just in time for Christmas as well as keeping up with the schedule - here's Volume 4 More international this time, though, as most foreign (i.e. non-UK) bands usually used album songs as B-sides, their representation is limited. Still, something is better than nothing, right? As usual, some "name" bands and some obscure ones, though all quite solid, so enjoy! And Merry Christmas!

02. The Invaders - Much closer still

04. The Stranglers - In one door
05. Fiction Factory - Old game blue flame

Hey guys! Fifth volume already - times really does fly! Let's close this tough, unpredictable year with something eclectic and all over the place. Personally for a long time I was against such concoctions but in time came to appreciate them (if done right). Somehow three bands from Ireland ended up here, I noticed only when compiling the accompanying notes - and decided not to anything about it. Overall, nearly half are from outside UK (again not really planned), so nicely international. Also reminds us what the B-sides were used for - experiments! So wish you all a nice listening - and, of course, a Happy New Year! See you in 2025

01. 1000 Mexicans - Chinese whispers
02. U2 - J. Swallo
03. The Higher Primates - Living in a vacuum
04. Kajagoogoo - Animal instincts
05. Cosmic Overdose - Dead
06. The Boomtown Rats - Europe looked ugly
07. Talking Heads - I wish you wouldn't say that
08. Modern English - Incident
09. Minny Pops - Island
10. The Undertones - Fairly in the money now
11. Furniture - To Gus
12. A Certain Ratio - ...And then again
13. Bill Nelson - Be my dynamo
14. Blue Zoo - Chameleon waves
15. Pete Wylie & The Oedipus Wrecks - I want the moon, mother
16. a-ha - Stop! And make your mind up
17. Private Lives - Break up
18. Care - An evening in the ray
19. Fatal Gift - So dear so cheap
20. Dekka Danse - Drowning by the hour

Ok! So now's the time for the first compilation of this year in this series. Thank you all so very much for all your kind and encouraging feedback - gives me great motivation to continue! This one I spent a bit too much time on, juggling the song order constantly, don't really know why This constant search for the perfect tracklist is futile, I know, but so addictive!
This volume is generally bigger on guitars than previous ones, though there are quite a few very interesting ones, showing the multitude of approaches characteristic of our favourite era, and I couldn't resist adding some, let's say, unusual ones just to spice things up a bit. Hope you like the results!

02. Pete Shelley - In love with somebody else
03. Shriekback - Nerve

cracking work! tvym

Hi there all! This new volume is a special one - should be subtitled "Victims of the loudness war", I guess. Quite a few songs I couldn't get from vinyl or original/early CD reissues so had to use the recent CD/digital transfers. Sometimes they stood out so much - like being twice as loud (or more) as the preceding and following songs - I had to group them together so as to not disrupt the flow too much. Also, I came across a couple of vinyl transfers which for some reason were as loud as these compressed CDs so those have fit right in.

So here they are, and the following volume will be of the same sort. Pity, really - quite a few outstanding songs here, like those from Buggles, Landscape, Hazel O'Connor, Talking Drums (great band, by the way, highly recommended!), Random Hold and Karen Marks. Though I won't say there are any slackers really - "the stuff" are pretty diverse but nothing to sneeze at, thankfully. I hope you'll have a pleasant time listening to this program!

01. Buggles - Blue nylon
02. Slow Children - That statue moved
03. It's Immaterial - Solid piles of food
04. Landscape III - Feel so right
05. David Harrow - Reflections
06. In Embrace - Red blue eyes
07. Jane & Jeff Hudson - Dream
08. Robert Rental - On location
09. r.l. crutchfield's Dark Day - Invisible man
10. Honey Bane - Negative exposure
11. Snips - Noise
12. Hazel O'Connor - Fire away
13. Talking Drums - Descartes lives
14. Neon - Remote control
15. Our Daughters Wedding - Hotel room
16. The Sound - Oiled
17. Mosfets - Power games
18. The Naughtiest Girl Was a Monitor - Sensation/No sensation
19. Random Hold - Cause & effect
20. Karen Marks - Won't wear it for long

Hate when that happens, try to avoid it but sometimes it slips by. Was just casually reviewing the volumes and it suddenly dawned on me - one song must be changed: Duran Duran's one in Volume 7. Their first B-side "Late bar" has been a favourite of mine recently, a late discovery, admittedly, but it just became obvious that it'll fit the tracklist and the mood and the flow etc of the compilation much, much better than "Secret Oktober". So I just changed it Please redownload the file (a new link is in the updated entry) and see for yourself. The substituted song will go on a separate volume, which I plan to post later.

Sorry for the hassle, hopefully that's the only time such thing will happen with the thread.

No apology necessary, love a person who takes their music seriously!
