Electric 80s brings together the originals that have continued to influence current tracks and the ever present 80s fashion nods on three packed CDs.

Burning Babylon is a one man Dub Reggae project from Boston, Massachusetts USA. Created by Slade Anderson, the heavyweight riddims of Burning Babylon's sound are firmly anchored in the 1970's Jamaican roots tradition, but with an ear for the neo dub stylings of the present day.

Decades after their brief yet influential career first ground to a sudden and mysterious halt, the Silver Apples remain one of pop music's true enigmas: a surreal, almost unprecedented duo, their music explored interstellar drones and hums, pulsing rhythms, and electronically generated melodies years before similar ideas were adopted in the work of acolytes ranging from Suicide to Spacemen 3 to Laika.

Andy Nogger was the last studio album from Kraan's original lineup, and it is an excellent summary of their various influences, as well as what the band made of them.

This influential German band came together in the South German town of Ulm in 1967 with a meeting between teenagers Hellmut Hattler, Jan Wolbrandt, Jan Friede, and Johannes Pappert. All four had played in local jazz and rock bands, and they enjoyed jamming together on a casual basis.

Like many large CD box sets, The Time Has Come is not quite a best-of or a rarities compilation, but something in between.

The sixth and final album by Pentangle's original incarnation was, like the preceding Reflection, a disappointment, if only in relation to the high standards set by the group's first batch of LPs.

The Pentangle were always great at creating musical fusions, and on this album, they once again came through.

When Grant Lee Buffalo cut their debut album, 1993's Fuzzy, they had a distinct advantage over most bands making their first trip to the studio -- vocalist and guitarist Grant Lee Phillips, bassist Paul Kimble and drummer Joey Peters had already recorded two LPs together as members of the then-recently defunct Shiva Burlesque, and most of Fuzzy's 11 songs dated back to SB's latter days.

Rather than following in the montage/cut-up lineage of What’s That Noise? and Let Us Play, Coldcut’s latest album is an overt attempt at crossing over to a wide audience.

BaBa ZuLa's third album Psychebelly Dance Music released in May 2003 was mixed and mastered by the British musician and producer Mad Professor who previously worked with Massive Attack, The Orb, Lee Perry and alikes.

Guitarist Richard Drummie and vocalist Peter Cox formed the duo Go West. Backed by the likes of Austrian keyboardist/producer Peter Wolf and a cast of West Coast studio musicians, they've produced several albums of high energy dance pop.

Raja Ram, a trained jazz flutist and member of the 1960’s band Quintessence, formed The Infinity Project in 1989 along with Graham Wood.
