(5 out of 5 stars)

"From the label that brings us the 80s eurodance series "I Love Disco" comes volume 2 of I Love Techno Pop. Nearly void of any of the eurodisco that fills most of the I Love Disco series, this 3 disc set contains nearly all 12" versions of huge new wave acts-some not exactly techno pop, such as the Knack and The Clash. Some of these tracks are really hard to find on CD, including Rock Me Amadeus, which was originally on Falco's long out of print CD in its full 8 minute version, and Love is a Shield by Camouflage. Plus, the Vince Clark/Feargal Sharkey single Never Never in its 12" format. The most obscure stuff on this disc comes is on disc 3, of which most people wll recognize only a few of the artists. Check out volume one also, which has even more new wave classics. Track times:
