Description
Back 2 Back Hits brings together two of the most distinctive acts of the 1980s new wave era on a single CD. Thomas Dolby’s side showcases his eccentric synth-pop brilliance, from the irresistibly quirky ‘She Blinded Me With Science’ to the soulful groove of ‘Airhead’ and the underrated ‘Europa And The Pirate Twins’. Talk Talk, meanwhile, trace their own remarkable arc — from the sleek pop hooks of ‘Talk Talk’ and ‘It’s My Life’ through to the more atmospheric and emotionally expansive ‘Life’s What You Make It’ and ‘Such A Shame’. Together, these ten tracks make a compelling snapshot of a decade in which pop music could be genuinely adventurous, and both artists pushed that boundary in their own very different ways…
