So80's (So Eighties) is a triple-disc set of classic new wave and '80s hits selected by the German DJs Blank & Jones. The pair offer a non-stop mix of hits on the first disc while the other two discs round up original extended 12" mixes of the hits. Those looking for a thumping nonstop party will prefer the former, while those that grew up hunting down 12"s in record stores will prefer the latter pair of discs.
Astropilot is an alias of Russian psybient music composer Dmitriy Redko. Redko has been composing soundscapes since 2000.
The project started with a psydub style on his debut album Fruits of the Imagination, as well as contributions on many albums and compilations released worldwide on various labels.
Over the years, Redko's music has evolved into a more spacy and progressive style and ranges from deep space ambient to atmospheric uptempo. Nowadays, his style comprises two main genres: space ambient and progressive chillout/midtempo.
UK five CD set from the Liverpudlian trio led by brilliant singer/songwriter Ian McNabb. Scoring a UK chart hit with Love Is A Wonderful Colour from their debut album, The Icicle Works developed a loyal following with their anthemic Rock that set them apart from their Liverpudlian contemporaries Echo And The Bunneymen, The Teardrop Explodes and Wah!. Never confined to one style, main-man McNabb s impassioned guitar Rock, alongside the propulsive drumming of Chris Sharrock, was under-appreciated at the time but influenced many UK bands from the '90s.
