Commercial New Wave, This Is Not! (That's a Very Good Thing)

(4 out of 5 stars)

"For fans of New Wave music who idealize New Wave as being a cookie-cutter lineup of the Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran (perhaps like the last reviewer), this is not your CD! That's the good news, because New Wave music is/was so much more than the Top 40 New Wave you currently hear in the increasing retro/flashback radio waves. Kudos to a compilation that explores some of the obscurity that true New Wave music originated from, the underground."

Some great hard to find jams

"It brought me back 15 years! Some great hard to find jams including Kong, E.S.G., Pigbag and Liquid Liquid."

If only they'd focused more on 12" singles versions...

"with over 15 volumes in the "Just Can't Get Enough" series, this is the only volume that ever touched upon some 12" dance singles, not just 7" dance singles. You get a good amount here, but there are still some single mixes. And the version of Lawnchairs on here is the "original" and not the version most are familiar with--that version is actually much better. However, this volume is worth getting for the 12" version of Dominatrix on CD alone! Track times:



1. lawnchairs (3:30)

2. papa's got a brand new pigbag (3:46)

3. bostich (4:35)

4. ball of confusion (7:15)

5. rapture (10:02)

6. precious (5:56)

7. beat box (4:52)

8. wildstyle (8:23)

9. dominatrix (4:51)

10. think about it (5:01)

11. moody (2:49)

12. cavern (5:25)

13. too many creeps (4:03)

14. konk party (8:16)"
