a very special new wave compilation (tribute)

[Blitz Boy]

There's a Spanish fanzine called Le Touriste who recently issued a double cd in tribute to new wave. There are all very new Spanish pop bands, some of them known here but most of them amateurs. There are also member of local famous bands with other names. If you like naïve covers or you are a die hard collector of new wave related items, this is a special product, made with lots of love and illusion. There are great covers in there, of course. For interested people, this is the track list of the comp. The covered bands are in brackets. There are some NW Spanish bands covered, also. BTW, I hardly recommend you to search in soulseek or wherever the original versions of songs 4, 12 and 17 in cd1 and 4 and 6 in cd2

This fanzine is great. Last issue had a 46-page "bubblegum" dossier and next one, close to be out, a ¡70! page article about glam-rock. Plus some other new romantic and new wave related texts. It's only published once a year but is well worth the wait
