SHARE NEW!: Tales Of Topographic 80's Vol. 1 - Berlin NLink

[Rissan]

I took your words in mind, when I finished the Unknown Beauty Of The 80's series last year.
I could have continued with a new series with more unknown stuff from the 80's but that meant copying myself, which was out of order, although I still archive tracks for a possible continuation, since the power of blood is not to be resisted.
What to do in the future, how to share music from our favourite era. Until two weeks ago I didn't know what I wanted to come up with.

Then it struck me: Why not combine two hobbies into a new series. So here we go again. For now I will present you a volume of Tales Of Topographic 80's each last Friday of the month. Lets see how many I can come up.

For now I have given myself some restrictions.

1. I must at least come up with an hour of music.
2. The featured topographic site must be in the title
3. No more MP3's but all FLAC.

The last restriction could mean that i find great songs but can't put them on the volume since they are in MP3 format. It is something I have to think about and deal with.

The last I like to share with you is the fact that somehow in the past I already created a cross-pollination with The Unknown Beauty Of The 80's and this new series by coming up with a volume about China and the USA/America compilation I presented to you during the presendential elections of 2020.

So the first Tales Of Topographic 80's is about Berlin.

Please note, this in NO way is intended to take away sales from any of the artists included here but rather a way
to discover or rediscover these timeless masterpieces.
Please support these bands if they should have material available! They deserve all the credit!
Up for one week.

Since the Friday upload I discovered two tracks initial meant for the compilation were missing, which I added as an update in a new post earlier this week.
On that post Sean reacted with adding the Slow Children to the compilation as well. So now you can download the final version, mentioned below, or only the updates to complete the first original version.
