This is the third installment in veteran DJ
Mike Maguire
's sparkling, ongoing series chronicling the seismic developments in electronic-based music through the often misrepresented 1980s. Following the post-punk foragings of volume one and the follow-up which captured the global groundswell of excitement as electronic music came into its own, the microscope now falls on 1983, when the fallout from the previous year's "Planet Rock" spawned electro-funk in tandem with the emerging hip-hop and graffiti cultures, while electronic developments started infiltrating many more stratas of new music, whether disco, punk or even mainstream. Steering clear of the obvious route, the set kicks off with electro-punk poetess
Anne Clark
from Croydon, proceeding with an atmospheric mix of legendary film director-composer
John Carpenter
's theme to
Assault On Precinct 13
, before hitting New York City's boiling electro scene with
Special Request
's "Salsa Smurf" and later the
Jonzun Crew
's "We Are The Jonzun Crew," while Downtown is represented by
Liquid Liquid
's "Optimo." New York's clubs also massively influenced
New Order
, as beautifully shown on their
Power, Corruption And Lies
album, represented here by the grand melancholy of "Your Silent Face," while San Francisco's innovative electronic movement is represented by
Twilight 22
(formed by
Stevie Wonder
's former synth programmer
Gordon Bahary
). Rather than focusing entirely on U.S. developments, the set carries on its tradition of exploring Europe's often darker use of new technology, including Belgium's
Front 242
and
The Neon Judgement
, Denmark's
Laid Back
with the enigmatic electro of "White Horse," German goth-punks
Xmal Deutschland
, while
Koto
's dub of "Chinese Revenge" spotlights the burgeoning Italo disco movement. Another standout track comes from German synth duo
The Unknown Cases
, fronted by legendary former
Traffic
percussionist
Reebop Kwaku Baah
on the rousing Afro-electro of "Masimba Bele." After such a potent, multi-strained hotbed, the UK's
Cocteau Twins
make the perfect finale with "Sugar Hiccup." 1983 was as unpredictable as it was exciting, with musical boundaries blurring all the time and club land on fire with the oddest anthems. At the time, the word buzzing around New York summed everything up: fresh. Same goes for this latest gem to appear in this wonderful series, telling the whole story in the celebratory spirit of that amazing era. Extensive sleeve notes written by legendary journalist
