Hi everyone. I wanted to do something a bit different. Though not new wave, it existed right beside it and a few new wave bands even got into the groove.

Thank you very much. Tracks on these CDs are amazing!!!

Nice share - thank you!!

Thanks for these.
I don't want to open up the age old debate,
but the sub-genre Sophisti-Pop falls under the "New Wave" genre category.
New Wave is a time period but also a musical style.
"New Wave" was the alternative to Rock, Hard-Rock and Heavy Metal of the 70s & 80s.
The term "New Wave" was coined from the phrase,
"The New Wave of Rock N' Roll"
The term "New Wave" was also a marketing ploy to rebrand the late 70's "Power-pop & Pub-Rock" bands as new music.
It covered most of the pop artists from 1976 -1989.
This included the sub-genres of Power-Pop, Euro-disco, New Romantic, Sophisti-Pop,
Synth-pop, Post-Punk, British-Pop, Ska revival, Mod revival, Rockabilly revival, Goth,
EBM, Industrial, Guitar/Jangle pop revival, Coldwave, Italo -Disco, and Minimal Synth.
In the 90s several "New Wave" artists were rebranded as "Alternative".

Wow the compilations turning up here are amazing. Thank you to all for taking the time to share them.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. I was half-afraid this would get ignored and lost in the shuffle. The main reason why I did this was someone who I'm acquainted with in an FB group told me that he has never seen a sophisti-pop compilation before and that he would want me to take a stab at it. This trilogy is the result. I actually want to go for one more once I find the time and inspiration.

i tried sending this to you via pm but it's still stuck in the outbox

@lovejones that just means they haven't checked their messages it's not a problem with the site or how the pm system works.
