I hope against hope that they will use a different master of Alan Burnham's song. All the previous ones used by Cherry Red have the main synth line horribly distorted - while on the original version it sounds perfectly clear. And what a line it is! One of my favourite synth riffs ever! Why did they use the obviously faulty version is beyond me. Especially seeing (hearing) how the B-side of that single, "Science fiction", is mastered greatly, clear as a bell. What's that? Do they have no proof-hearing?

Other than that - a very interesting release, even if it looks like a mish-mash with no real purpose, with random songs chosen for no reason whatsoever. And some truly odd choices - Aneka, Toyah, Hazel O'Connor and Natasha presented as "synth-pop"? Kamooooon! Why that song exactly by Voice Farm? They had much more "synth-pop" ones, like the perfect "Modern things". Japan's "The art of parties" and John Foxx's "You were there" feature such prominent guitar sound they have very little to nothing to do with synthpop.

On the other hand, some truly inspired choices: Johnny Warman (his 1981 album is perfection and this song is a criminally ignored synthpop should've been classic), Beasts in Cages finally with their own (very cool) song, AK-47 (!!!), The Limit (yeah!), Rod Vey (how on Earth did they find him?!). Definitely a must have compilation, despite shortcomings. Looking forward to it, thank you for the info, Rissan!

good tracklisting, but I'm sure the audio quality will be below par.

I have the first volume which sounds quite good. Hoping this one will be too.
