Our Take

Step back in time to the era of shoulder pads, neon hair, and the sound of the underground with VARIOUS ARTISTS' latest compilation, "Now - 80s Alternative." This album is a nostalgic journey through the experimental and boundary-pushing sounds of the 80s alternative music scene.

From the infectious synth-pop melodies of New Order to the angst-filled vocals of Siouxsie and the Banshees, this album offers a comprehensive look at the diverse range of artists that defined the decade.

Tracks like The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" and Depeche Mode's "Personal Jesus" are timeless classics that still resonate with listeners today. Meanwhile, deeper cuts like Bauhaus's "Bela Lugosi's Dead" and Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" showcase the darker, more introspective side of the alternative genre.

While some tracks may feel a bit dated, overall, "Now - 80s Alternative" is a must-have for any music lover looking to dive into the underground sounds of one of the most iconic musical eras. So grab your Walkman, crank up the volume, and let this compilation take you on a journey back to the heyday of alternative music.
