New Wave Outpost Forum

Tales Of Topographic 80s Vol. 10 - Constantinople / Istanbul to be precise. This one was supposed to be delivered on Friday the 25th of October, but it turned out to be a difficult delivery.

To be honest I had a completely different city in mind, but it turned out some tracks I was hoping for, didn't arrive in time.
So I decided to try a different approach, and pick one of the volumes still under construction to replace it.

So today, after a couple of days of delay, we visit the city devided by the Bosporus: Istanbul, until 1930 known as Constantinople.

This homage to this city dives even deeper in the variety of musical styles.

Please note, this in NO way is intended to take away sales from any of the artists included here but rather a way
to discover or rediscover these timeless masterpieces.
Please support these bands if they should have material available! They deserve all the credit!
Up for one month.
