Electrospective – Electronic Music Since 1958 (2CD UK pressing)

Out Of Stock

Electronic music since 1958 – but with a special focus on the way the music's been made from the late 70s onward! The set's overflowing with late 70s, 80s, and 90s tracks that use plenty of great electronics – usually dancefloor groovers or oddball rock numbers that make the best use of the raw sounds first forged in the early days of analogue – especially the messier sort of electronics that can be used in just the right way to spice up a groove! Martyn Ware of BEF turns in liner notes – and the set features 39 tracks that include "I Want More" by Can, "Warm Leatherette" by The Normal, "Nag Nag Nag" by Cabaret Voltaire, "King Of The Beats" by Nitzer Ebb, "Doctor Who Theme" by BBC Radiophonic Workshop, "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran, "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of" by Human League, "Moskow Diskow (French version)" by Telex, "Virginia Plain" by Roxy Music, "Big Fun" by Inner City, "Go" by Moby, "Circles" by Adam F, "Kelly Watch The Stars" by Air, "Dare" by Gorillaz, "Together In Electric Dreams" by Giorgio Moroder & Phil Oakey, and "One" by Swedish House Mafia.  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
