VA 80's Love (2014

Who doesn’t love electronic music? From its experimental beginnings in the 1970s to its global domination of the pop chart, all things electric have become the mainstay of popular culture; as important to today’s musical landscape as the guitar was to rock & roll.
Greatest Ever Electric presents 3CDs of electronic music, not just from the ’80s when it went overground, but from the ’70s, ’90s and ’00s too, providing an overview of its origins and its current state. So sit back (or stand up) and let everyone from Giorgio Moroder and John Foxx to Hot Chip and Soulwax take you on a fantastical journey through electric. Just mind the static.

This is the complete soundtrack, containing the original score as heard on our previous release, PLUS 9 of the 10 original songs from the ultimate Jean-Claude Van Damme movie that launched his career. Digitally remastered, with new liner notes by Gergely Hubai that explain in depth the difference between our two Kickboxer albums and the history behind one of the greatest soundtracks of the Eighties. It features no less than THREE songs by 80's cult icon Stan Bush, as well as the beautiful ballad "Love is the Way", performed by Craig Copeland. This song was originally envisioned for the end titles, but was later dropped in favor of a more action-oriented piece.

Totally awesome three CD set. Electric 80's is a collection of the most electrifying tracks celebrating the electronic edge of '80s pop. Featuring extended, rare and unreleased remixes of massive hits, Electric 80's gives these classics a definite dancefloor flavor and the album comes as three continuous DJ mixes, making Electric 80's unique for 2014. Including huge tracks from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Spandau Ballet, OMD, Tears for Fears, Human League, Pet Shop Boys, Heaven 17, Gary Numan, New Order, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and tons more, Electric 80's is sure to spark this Spring.

In November 2023 we celebrated NOW’s 40th anniversary with a collection of 100 massive Pop hits – but with 40 years of hits to choose from we had to leave out so many fantastic tracks – so it’s time to continue that celebration with NOW That’s What I Call 40 Years - Part 2 – 100 more essential hit tracks across 5 CDs – again honouring the legacy with a stellar selection from the past four decades of NOW. Embark on a musical journey from 1983 right up to the present day, making at least one memorable stop in each year along the way. Opening with Duran Duran’s 1983 #1 ‘Is There Something I Should Know?’, which featured on the first NOW album along with ‘Temptation’ by Heaven 17. Unforgettable hits including ‘Here Comes The Rain Again’ by Eurythmics, and Synth-Pop smashes from Howard Jones with ‘What Is Love?’ and ‘Smalltown Boy’ by Bronski Beat are up next. ‘Two Tribes’ by Frankie Goes To Hollywood spent 9 weeks at #1 in 1984 and features ahead of covers including the #1 collaboration between UB40 and Chrissie Hynde, and Kim Wilde’s version of ‘You Keep Me Hangin’ On’ which hit #1 in the U.S. The production team Stock, Aitken and Waterman hit Pop gold in the late ‘80s and huge hits they produced for Bananarama and Hazell Dean are included. The first disc closes with 1989 classics from Fine Young Cannibals, and the first #1 from Simple Minds ‘Belfast Child’.
