MINISTRY’S ELECTRONIC 80S

by


We seriously don’t know where the devil the Ministry Of Sound team finds the time to keep coming up with all these compilation albums, but somehow they do – and they deliver with such frequency and quality that’s it’s often hard for the opposition to get a look-in. Take their latest compilation ‘Electronic ’80s’ for example. It’s bursting at the seams with some of the most awesome electronic goodies from the hypercolour t-shirt era that you’re ever likely to see – and they’re all fully laden on three plastic compact discs – another product of the 1980s.
And with tracks by Spandau Ballet and Human League sitting alongside those by Heaven 17, Duran Duran, Kim Wilde, Joy Division, OMD, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Talk Talk and many more, you can be assured the collection’s going to take you for a little disco dance down memory lane. Just don’t forget your leg warmers and snap bangles.
It’s in-stores March 26.
