Various Artists - New Wave Club Class-X1

After originally introducing you to the Club Class compilations back in 2018, and now having secured them on one of my back-ups I thought I should re-introduce them to you using this part of the week’s posting schedule. Starting at the beginning in 1991 when Belgium was considered the number one place to locate your electro / synth-pop band to get close to the leading record labels, a couple of young chaps Peter Schaaf and Tejo De Roeck decided to compile some of the New Wave, Post-Punk, Industrial, Electro, Synth-pop music playing in the clubs. Said compilation New Wave Club Class-X1 was released by Antler-Subway Records and distributed by Play It Again Sam (PIAS). Some of the bands included have been featured on this blessed page before, which just helps you to find more music by them if I wasn’t busy enough to link them all, but I’m not, so your mission today should you chose to take it, is to find the music on your own. And just like that it’s back to the music contained here-in. You will either be enthralled with the selection of disappointed, but I say hold on, until you have collected all of the releases. The Best Of two disc collection previously posted simply scratched the itch of early EBM, the complete selection shows the growth of the genre and features a number of more well-known bands than you would originally think.
