	Ministry of Sound’s Anthems – Electronic ‘80s CDs: It was acceptable in the ‘80s Ministry of Sound’s Anthems – Electronic ‘80s hit stores on March 12. The track-listing on this compilation speaks for itself. 60 tracks that defined electronic music, all on one 3-CD set. Anthems – Electonic ‘80s charts the birth of synthesised pop music and ultimately the roots of contemporary electronic dance music. The importance and continued popularity of ‘80s pop is not to be underestimated, and the emergence of serious synthesised music producers in The Human League, Heaven 17, Yazoo,Ultravox, Talk Talk, Japan, Devo, Sparks, Gary Numan, New Order and The Pet Shop Boys, all of whom massively pushed the boundaries in experimentation, ultimately showed the way for the house and techno producers of the ‘90s and today. The era also gave birth to brilliant, pure synth-pop from Duran Duran, Spandau Ballet, Thomas Dolby, Simple Minds, Propaganda, Erasure, China Crisis, Belouis Some, A FlockOf Seagulls and Blancmange, all featured on this compilation. Ministry have hand-picked a mix of the biggest commercial tracks from the Electronic ‘80s genre (Soft Cell, Kim Wilde, Tears For Fears, David Bowie, Blondie), in addition to the most important and influential ones, making Anthems – Electronic ‘80s a truly fantastic collector’s package and, best of all, an entertaining listen that will truly take you on an epic journey. We have a whopping ten copies to throw your way. Simply send us a link to your fav ‘80s vid.
