New Wave Outpost Forum

Totally out of the blue and without fanfare. There are 8 tracks from each volume for a total of close to 80 minutes of music. The tracks are culled from both the LP and the cassette version, Devo and Simple Minds appear twice but I-Level is left off. You would have thought priority would be given to never-on-CD tracks over easily obtainable ones..

Anyway that aside, you still get at least four previously unavailable versions of songs : China Crisis, Rip Rig & Panic, Culture Club and BEF. And it's a bargain too.

THE HUMAN LEAGUE, CULTURE CLUB and RIP RIG & PANIC have rare remixes featured on a new 'Methods Of Dance' CD that compiles the best of the innovative early eighties 'Methods Of Dance' compilations. The 16 track album also features tracks from CHINA CRISIS, SIMPLE MINDS, JAPAN and the rarity 'I Don’t Depend On You', a 1979 single released by The Human League under the name THE MEN. The 'Methods Of Dance' CD will be released on July 21st.

Great stuff...thanks. This is out IN THE STATES already?

"Keepin the '80s alive!"

Unfortunately, the Culture Club mix is from vinyl and sounds rubbish. Hiss city.
