The hardest-rocking band of the Paisley Underground scene garnered acclaim but little mainstream success, despite some seriously great songwriting. Memorable opening lines include "Got a page one story buried in my yard" and "Every day I get another sympathy card". Quite a few tracks from this compilation are on my desert island playlist. Highly recommended to all fans of early-80s post-punk.The hardest-rocking band of the Paisley Underground scene garnered acclaim but little mainstream success, despite some seriously great songwriting.

This synthpop band from Liverpool grew increasingly sophisticated over the course of their career, mining a vein somewhere between new wave and light jazz. They never attracted much attention in the U.S. beyond the single "Wake Up (King in a Catholic Style)" and minor club hit "Working with Fire and Steel", but this is a solid collection of 80s pop craft that blossoms with repeated listens.

The Verlaines helped create the distinctive "Dunedin Sound" of early-1980s rock music in New Zealand, while mining their own unique style mixing uptempo jangle pop with complex song structures and erudite lyrics. This release is a compilation of their early singles and EPs (mostly rerecorded for better sound quality), making it a handy introduction to the band.The Verlaines helped create the distinctive "Dunedin Sound" of early-1980s rock music in New Zealand, while mining their own unique style mixing uptempo jangle pop with complex song structures and erudite lyrics.

This compilation summarizes the second phase of Wire's career, as they embraced electronic instruments and a more structured sound in contrast to their 1970's art punk and noise rock albums. The tracks were chosen by soliciting "top 20" lists from critics and other music professionals. While Wire never saw much commercial success, these songs proved highly influential in the post-punk and nascent alternative scenes, and still sound great today.This compilation summarizes the second phase of Wire's career, as they embraced electronic instruments and a more structured sound in contrast to their 1970's art punk and noise rock albums.

A collection of Tears for Fears' B-sides from their 1980's heyday into the early 90's when it became Roland Orzabal's solo project. Some tracks are fully realized songs, others are more experimental. Highlights include "Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams" (a hip-hop version of their hit single "Sowing the Seeds of Love"), "Pharaohs" (a disquieting instrumental that samples a cryptic shipping report), and "Ashes to Ashes" (a David Bowie cover).A collection of Tears for Fears' B-sides from their 1980's heyday into the early 90's when it became Roland Orzabal's solo project.

Comment:
A joyride for bored servicemembers at a backwater American base in New Guinea turns into an impossible rescue mission when the plane crashes, stranding three survivors, including a Women's Army Corps corporal, in a narrow valley inhabited by a Stone Age culture that has never seen white people. The air is too thin for helicopters, Japanese soldiers guard the jungle, and the locals believe that the arrival of white spirits foretells the apocalypse. The middle gets a little draggy with detail, but Zuckoff does a great job telling the tale from all sides, including the indigenous New Guineans and the largely Filipino rescue party, leading to a truly jawdropping aerial extraction by towhook. Recommended for fans of "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand.A joyride for bored servicemembers at a backwater American base in New Guinea turns into an impossible rescue mission when the plane crashes, stranding three survivors, including a Women's Army Corps corporal, in a narrow valley inhabited by a Stone…
