Musik Music Musique 2.0 Rise Of Synth Pop / Var - Musik Music Musique 2.0 Rise Of Synth Pop / Var - Music CD

Three CD set. Sequel to the hugely successful Musik Music Musique, this time exploring 1981, the year synth pop broke into the mainstream. Over 50 tracks showcasing the innovation and exploration that gave rise to what would become the decade's pre-eminent musical form. 2020's Musik Music Musique set, we present the sequel, this time looking at the electronic pop scene as it evolved from curio and novelty into a major movement and began to dominate the airwaves. Featuring a plethora of acts who would quickly become household names (many of which endure today) and exploring the wide variety of directions electronic instruments took both the mainstream and independent music in. Musik Music Musique 2. 0 embraces both the pure pop aesthetic of a new generation of aspirational, defiantly polished artists and those who embraced electronic music in the aftermath of the post-punk explosion. From chart bothering, High Street nightclub anthems to self-pressed one-offs and cassette releases, this set provides an overview of the scene as it blossomed and an introduction to a wealth of fascinating, lesser known material.
