I don't think I've seen these mentioned before, but to me this 3 CD series is just about the perfect set of comps for what new wave feels like to me...

Good call Blir!

I have two of them, but still need to track down "Scared To Dance". This series went the distance to avoid the usual picks..."Left of The Dial" is one of my all-time fave comps.

Yeah, I've got all of those. Very Nice. Better than the comps of the usual suspects. Put out by Rhino.
