Musik music musique : 1980 - the dawn of synth pop

"In summary, Musik, Music, Musique does capture a decent amount of what made 1980 the year for electronic music. It brings together a broad spectrum of those experimenting with synthesisers at the time, whether they aimed their recordings squarely at the charts or in a more esoteric and arty direction. A fair percentage of the set has lasted the test of time well too (though I can't really say the same of Toyah's scat singing on Victims Of the Riddle). For anyone looking for a good primer and a genuine survey of synth sounds from those halcyon days of 1980, this compilation fits the billʺ.
