Description
Just Say New Wave is a snapshot of post-punk and new wave at its most eclectic and energized. This CD brings together some of the era’s most memorable cuts, from After the Fire’s synth-driven smash ‘Der Kommissar’ and Romeo Void’s brooding, sax-laced ‘Never Say Never’ to the original version of ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ as recorded by Bruce Wooley & The Camera Club — the track that famously launched MTV. Alongside contributions from Wire Train, Red Rockers, Translator, and The Tourists (featuring a pre-solo Annie Lennox on ‘I Only Want To Be With You’), this compilation captures the restless, genre-blending spirit that defined the early 1980s alternative scene. An essential document for fans of the era…
