"Saint Etienne's Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs have been putting together compilations for Ace Records for a couple years now, and they're all pretty great explorations of microgenres from early '70s baroque psych, French pop from 1968, or the years leading up to UK punk. With The Tears of Technology, they put early-'80s UK synthpop under the microscope and it's another winner, mixing deep cuts from familiar names (The Human League, Soft Cell, OMD, Simple Minds, John Foxx) with artists who didn't make it much past one single, if even that, all with the great curatorial ear of Bob & Pete. These two really are a trademark of quality".
