INFO
Over the past few years, mentioning music from the eighties,
and particularly electronic pop and its many derivations,
has been considered a sort of taboo, something you should
really be ashamed of. As a result, we have learnt to
secretly disguise the enjoyment of listening to certain
songs, sing along to the words under our breaths, lower our
voices even more when the wind of radical cutting-edge
criticism, which has conceitedly liquidated certain
intuitions of 80s pop, is perceived around us. However, if
we take a look at the music produced since the turn of the
century, it becomes evident that these intuitions have
revealed themselves very important if not fundamental in
contemporary music production. The 80s have influenced
electronic music more than what one can believe, through the
rediscovery of melody, the airiness of certain formal
solutions, the reintegration of rhythmic and enveloping
melodies... If you like it or not (and although many tend
not to recognise it) electronic music has absorbed the
influences of the 80s, that is to say that nuances of 80s
pop are recognisable within contemporary electronic music
and its mechanisms of composition, as if inherited. This is
undeniable and becomes even more evident if we merely
consider the number of composers who have reintroduced voice
into music, hidden between the abstract digital samplings
created on laptops. The musicians who have taken part in
this compilation have probably unconsciously tapped into the
memory of the forbidden 80s, making it re-emerge under the
tepid light of their computers, with an eye towards
contemporaneity yet conscious of their past.
All tracks is Unreleased and Created
only for the concept of Compilation.
