NASH THE SLASH 2008-04-03 18:21:00 DANCE AFTER CURFEW(ORIGINAL 12" DANCE MIX)Nash the Slash is a Canadian progressive rock, classical, and alternative musician. He was a member of the band FM in the 1970s, before launching a solo career in 1978, producing an audiovisual collaboration with artist Robert Vanderhorst which continues to this day.Nash's music is a complex blend of new wave, new age and punk rock, using electric mandolins, violins, drums machines and an arsenal of effects and sonic devices.

Born Jeff Plewman, he has attempted to keep his true identity the subject of some speculation. In a 1981 interview with the UK magazine Smash Hits, Nash's r
ALTERED IMAGES 2008-04-02 16:53:00 I COULD BE HAPPY(ORIGINAL EXTENDED 12" DANCE MIX) Altered Images were a Scottish new wave band whose members were ex-school friends with an equal interest in the UK post-punk scene. After being championed by legendary DJ John Peel, they quickly garnered enough attention to be offered a deal with Epic Records, but mainstream success was not immediate; their first two singles failed to reach the top 40.After the band's 1981 success of their first album, Happy Birthday, and an equally successful tour, they released their 1982 album Pinky Blue. The album showed them following a more pop route. The lead off single, I Could Be Happy, went to #7 in the UK with the album reaching #12, making it more successful than their previous effort. Despite this success many critics who supported them previou
WANG CHUNG 2008-04-10 14:33:00 TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.(ORIGINAL EXTENDED 12" VERSION)The To Live and Die in L.A. soundtrack is Wang Chung's third album and second on Geffen Records. Instead of following up on the success that their previous album Points on the Curve landed them, Wang Chung switched gears to produce an original motion picture soundtrack. The switch allowed for them to experiment with different styles of music from the conventional pop music on their previous album.According to William Friedkin, director of the film To Live and Die in L.A., the main reason he chose Wang Chung to compose the soundtrack was because the band "stands out from the rest of contemporary music... What they finally recorded has not only enhanced the film, it has given it a deeper, more powerful dimension."Every song on the soundtr

VOICE OF AMERICA 2008-06-19 08:41:00 STORY OF LOVE(ORIGINAL EXTENDED 12" VERSION)Here's a band that's hard to find information on. I pretty much no nothing about them other than they released this single in 1987 which was a college radio new wave favourite and that the flip side, V.O.A., was produced by Captain Sensible. Fantastic track! The group also released another single called I Will Tell which is another hard to find track.STO
