The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's Vol. 131

[Rissan]

As promised today I present to you another thematic Volume. This time I choose for the Mute record label. A label which is very loyal to their artists and artists are very loyal to the label. the best example is Depeche Mode which has been with the label since their start in 1981. But all their members and ex-members are still with the label as solo artists also. You can guess and understand that the result of this Volume offers you a bunch of better known names of the eighties scene, leaving out Depeche Mode, Recoil, Martin Gore and some less topic related artists like Holger Hiller, NON, Smegma, Boyd Rise, A.C. Marias, Bruce Gilbert, Mark Stewart and Diamanda Galas.

Unfortuantly no room for DAF (Deutsche-Amerikanische-Freundschaft), The Normal (the band of label president Daniel Miller), Liaisons Dangereuses, Die Doras & Die Marinas, Yazoo, Sillicon Teens. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, Einstürzende Neubauten and Crime & The City Solution,.
