Alright, so here's the last installment in the series. Finally! Originally I thought I'll rid of it quickly, but nearly six months is much more than I bargained for
Not that I'm sick of it all, on the contrary, it was very interesting to work on the 10-year old project, renew and update it. Overall I'm pleased, yes, quite pleased that I had a chance to present it here. So much so that I keep correcting it even now - check the volumes 7 and 24, I changed some songs there (yes, again!), now they're even more "New Wave", yeah! We'll see, maybe there'll be some more corrections - though I promise to try to keep myself in check
Anyway, here are two final volumes. The first consists of non-English language covers. Those are quite hard to find, I practically scraped the barrels to compile it. Maybe someone can suggest more in this regard? It's quite good and varied, though, have a listen! By the way, was there any particular reason "New Wave" acts started covering the song "Lili Marleen" in such numbers? I could compile the whole volume out of versions of it, in almost all of NW subgenres! Here's only one of them, though, to me - the best
The last is my favourite, though - it contains instrumental cover versions, either of regular songs or instrumental hits. All by performers not featured in the series, too! As some may know, I'm a big fan of instrumental "New Wave" and synthpop, so it was a particular pleasure of mine
So, that seems to be the end. If anyone finds any glaring omission(s), feel free to suggest, but for now I'm out of stuff. Those 30 volumes, though, are quite enough for a start
It's been fun.
