BONUS! Compare your favourite eighties tracks to their modern-day counterparts here!

This album charts the birth of synthesised pop music in the 1980s and ultimately the roots of contemporary electronic dance music.

The importance and continued popularity of 80s pop is not to be underestimated, and the emergence of serious synthesised music producers in Kraftwerk, The Human League, Heaven 17, OMD, Yazoo, Ultravox, Talk Talk, Japan, Devo, Sparks, Gary Numan, New Order and The Pet Shop Boys, all of whom massively pushed the boundaries in experimenting with (mainly) Roland synths in this era, ultimately showed the way for the house and techno producers of the 90s to the present day.

Within this more serious side there was also some brilliant, pure synth - pop from The Thompson Twins, Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Thomas Dolby, Simple Minds, Propaganda, Erasure, China Crisis, Belouis Some, The Lotus Eaters, A Flock Of Seagulls, Howard Jones, Blancmange and The Associates.

    UK and America have separate labels, Australia has a tendency to re-release some of UKs albums.
