New Wave Outpost Forum

Here's a comp of songs from our New Wave old guard. All were made in Y2K or after (ok, I cheated and snuck in two 1999 tracks). I just wanna add my voice to all those guys on the NWO who insist that there IS still good work being put out there. I hope it piques your interest to explore more. I won't post it here since it's all new stuff but just drop me an email and I'll send you the download link to this comp:

I like it quite a lot, but the feeling isn't completely universal. For other views, I recall a couple of threads about Siberia. Try searching for "Echo", limiting it to titles only.

I liked it a lot too. [8D]

^^Yeah, Siberia's a good album^^

Yeah, so I got around to finally listening to this compilation and it's a solid testament to the long term musical ability of the "Old Guard". Solid songs all around. These groups still "have it", without question. Now I need to pick up some of these albums that I don't have.

I like "Siberia," especially "Of a Life." I think one could quibble that this sounds like it followed directly from 1987's "Echo & the Bunnymen," i.e., where is the growth and change? For example, the melody of "Siberia" seems to be a combination of "Nocturnal Me" and "Thorn of Crowns." But that didn't really bother me; I liked the 1987 album a lot too.

I've finally got this compilation on cd, it's cool and i named it BLIR'S COMPILATION. Thanks Blir or otherwise i will not know how do some of these old bands sound like today.

...i know what i want and i know how to get it...
