Back cover
Popular music from the 1980s has often been disparaged. Through more than 600 vinyl sleeve designs, New Wave Vinyls restores this era to its rightful place and showcases its rich diversity.
Embark on an exhilarating journey… from Depeche Mode and Duran Duran to The Cure and Talking Heads, via industrial rock, gothic music, more obscure genres such as Dark Folk or the arty rock of Scritti Politi, not forgetting the cult band Joy Division. New Wave is about a certain look and fashion trends, the dominance of synthesisers, political activism and some affinities with the Situationists… it’s also the birth of independent labels such as Factory and Rough Trade, the influence of artistic movements like Futurism and Dadaism, an androgynous image and the return of dance music with occasionally dark undertones… a whole era to (re)discover!
