Synopsis

Album Description
It was a time of skinny ties, flamboyant outfits, teased hair, flashy MTV videos and in-your-face attitude. Ah, a fond reflection of that priceless stamp in time called the New Wave era of popular music. It was a time well over a decade and a half ago when boy bands were kept to a strict minimum, ?grunge? music hadn?t been dreamed of and hardcore rap was still in its infancy and peppered with harmless naïvety. Synthphony Records is proud to officially announce the 2 CD Set Cover Compilation titled "New Wave Undercover" featuring Modern Synthpop bands covering over 30 songs.
 

CD Reviews

Almost the Worst CD I ever purchased
Marc Rizzo | Los Angeles, CA | 01/31/2002
(2 out of 5 stars)

"If you would like to buy a CD of Great New Wave songs sung by what sounds like professional German karaoke singers than this is the CD for you! What a mistake! The only thing good about this CD is that I can now track down the original groups from the CD insert and buy the proper versions of these song. I'm putting this CD on the auction block to salvage some of my loss."
Save your money

"I love 80's new wave. But this isn't the CD to buy if your looking for a good compilation. Alot of amatuer stuff here.
Best tracks in my opinion are "Cruel Summer" by Philtron and "Unveiling the Secret" by Rational Youth. Worst Tracks are "Major Tom" by Chiasm and "Blue Monday" by Silent Promises.There are a few other decent tracks but nothing to justify the money spent."
