"If you were there back in the early 80's and watched all

these flashes that MTV gave us, back when they actually were

trying to make a musical difference and you were open to whatever came

your way....Lene Lovitch made a big impression on me, so did

Grace Jones, The B-52's, Gary Numan, the Cars, Echo, U2 and they

went on and on and on.................................. its great to come across these bit of memories, NEW TOY, LUCKY NUMBER, MEIN SCHMERZ(ITS ONLY YOU),

ITS ONLY YOU, HOME, BIRDSONG, ANGELS, NEVERLAND.. I can hear

Kate Pierson from the B-52's, alittle YOKO ONO from the 70's in there as well. Lene Lovitch was her own style, a European/American concoction, exaggerated vocals, sax, piano, a bit of western

all thrown into the mix,

(a strange mix), but everything that came out during the 80's

was so full of itself, I guess style over substance but it was

fun, now everything seems so dull, this is some great driving/dancin' music, out there musically and worth a listen! I really loved many of these songs in the clubs (drinking sure) If you

love mixing tracks for CD compilations, many of these songs will raise some heads!
