Various Artists - Electrical Language. Independent British Synth Pop 78-84

Subtitled ‘Independent British Synth Pop 78-84’, ‘Electrical Language’ is a lavish 4CD 80 track boxed set covering the post-punk period when all that synthesizer experimentation and noise terrorism morphed into pop. Largely eschewing the guitar and the drum kit, this was a fresh movement which sprung from a generation haunted by the spectre of the Cold War, Mutually Assured Destruction and closer to home, the Winter of Discontent.


All four CD's ripped to MP3 @ 320

    1. The FLAC file is 1.9GB. I have limited space left in Mega so finding a suitabe host is difficult.

      Possible, but not for a few days

  4. Hi I have spent the last few days happily sifting through your collection, it took me right back to the days spending school dinner money on singles at the local The Other Record Shop. I'm particularly loving all the early Scottish stuff, and Theme for Great Cities is my favourite SM tune, they were awesome then. Thank you for all the work you put in to curating the site, really amazing collection!
