| | Description: | NOW Music is proud to present the sixth volume in our ongoing series of vinyl compilations, NOW Thatâ??s What I Call 80s Dancefloor. Each edition features an essential collection of tracks representing key genres from the incredible diversity that were all part of 1980â??s dance music.
This volume, featuring 30 tracks across 2-LPs, pressed on 1 Blue and 1 Clear vinyl, presents the best in synth dance-pop.
In the first few years of the decade the synth became prevalent across all genres of pop music, and in 1983 New Order released â??Blue Mondayâ??, a timeless and iconic track that defines the era and the importance of synth-driven pop - and it kicks off this collection in styleâ?¦ Tracks that sound as fresh today as they did on release follow from the Eurythmics with â??Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty Four)â??, and Propaganda with â??Duelâ??. Both â??Obsessionâ?? from Animotion and Paul Hardcastleâ??s #1 â??19â?? filled dance-floors and Yello achieved their biggest hit with â??The Raceâ??â?¦and closing the first side Jan Hammer enjoyed a global smash, including a U.S. #1 with his â??Miami Vice Themeâ?? which soundtracked the hit TV series. Flip the LP over for synth-pop royalty Pet Shop Boys with â??Domino Dancingâ?? and â??Together in Electric Dreamsâ?? the hit collaboration between Philip Oakey and Giorgio Moroder â?? whose role in pioneering production in the late â??70s included the hugely influential â??I Feel Loveâ?? with Donna Summer. 80s smash-hit pop follows from Scritti Politti, Kon Kan, Men Without Hats, and â??Rock Me Amadeusâ?? the #1 from Falco â?? plus â?? â??Iâ??m Not Scaredâ?? by Eighth Wonder and â??Donâ??t Drop Bombsâ?? from Liza Minnelli which both feature writing and production from Pet Shop Boysâ?¦
In 1984 Frankie Goes To Hollywood saw their first 3 singles go to #1, and the second of these, â??Two Tribesâ?? opens LP2 followed by Dead Or Alive with the hi-nrg â??My Heart Goes Bang (Get Me To The Doctor)â??â?¦ Up next a stellar run of artists who found chart success early in the decade with synth-pop smashes â?? Soft Cell, Visage, Spandau Ballet and The Human League, featured here with dance-floor gold â??Hard Timesâ??â?¦and bringing the side to a close, The Art Of Noise, with the peerless â??Close (To The Edit)â??. The final side begins with the huge hit â??Axel Fâ?? for Harold Faltermeyer before focusing on synth-fired club essentials: Colonel Abrams with â??Trappedâ??, â??Sidewalk Talkâ?? from Jellybean, free-style from Exposé, and 80s disco from Taylor Dayne with â??Prove Your Loveâ??. Living In A Box and The Pointer Sisters enjoyed chart success with their synth anthems, and taking this superb collection to its conclusion is Joe Jackson, an established artist who had worked across multiple genres and who achieved a massive hit with a timeless synth-pop gem â??Steppinâ?? Outâ??.
