This two-CD best of collects some often overlooked gems from the fertile 1980s British pop scene, as well as its better-known favorites. The former category includes New Romantic pioneers Visage's goth-pop masterpiece "Fade to Grey," Talk Talk's soaring "It's My Life," and Dream Academy's strangely African-tinged slice of nostalgia, "Life in a Northern Town." Eighties perennials the Thompson Twins and the Cure are represented by the singalong "Hold Me Now" and the new wave disco hit "Let's Go to Bed," respectively, while Big Country's "In a Big Country" and Tears For Fears' "Mad World" display both the decade's brash confidence and its darker, more apprehensive side.

Don Siegel's cult masterpiece, interpreted as an allegory of both McCarthyism and Communism, is undoubtedly one of the screen's most disturbing evocations of paranoia. It stars Kevin McCarthy as Dr. Miles Binnell, a physician whose traumatized arrival in the emergency room of a San Francisco hospital leads the staff to believe he's lost his mind. In a series of ...

Gold: '80S British
$7.65 
GAUDI was inspired by the life and works of Antonio Gaudi, a Catalan architect.
Inspired by architect Antonio Gaudi, the Alan Parsons Project's Gaudi from 1987 has a leaner, edgier sound that is best represented on "Standing on Higher Ground." The last track, "Paseo de Graciad," is a finely orchestrated instrumental done exquisitely in full Parsons style. The usual lineup of Miles, Woolfson, Zakatek, and Rainbow share the singing duties, with Geoff Barradale taking over on "Standing on Higher Ground." ~ Mike DeGagne
Even though 1987's Gaudi was inspired by architect Antonio Gaudi, its songs seem to lack the assertiveness or the instrumental endowments that usually occur within the Alan Parsons Project's work. With a leaner, edgier sound that is best represented on "Standing on Higher Ground," the easiness and touch that should have ...
