| | New Wave Gold CD (1 Customer Review)
When it comes to new wave compilations that attempt to strike a balance between well-known hits and lesser-known singles that deserved more play, the New Wave installment in Hip-O's Gold series has to be considered exceptional. If you already own a good number of new wave comps, you will likely have a good portion of what is here, including Soft Cell's "Tainted Love," the Waitresses' "I Know What Boys Like," Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy," and Nena's "99 Luftballoons." This being a generous 30-track, two-disc set, there's a lot of room left for the deeper inclusions. These songs -- like the Passions' "I'm in Love with a German Film Star," Ultravox's "Slow Motion," and Altered Images' "I Could Be Happy" -- tiptoed around the margins of the mainstream and were only played on some of the more adventurous U.S. radio stations. These are just as representative of the era as their oft-heard counterparts, so those who are beginning to familiarize themselves with new wave should by no means feel as if this set is out of their depth. ~ Andy Kellman

Recorded between February 1980 and November 1990. Includes liner notes by Giles Smith.
This 1995 Thomas Dolby compilation is essential for fans of the British synthpop pioneer. It features both the first CD appearances of "Urges" and "Leipzig," songs from a 1981 indie single which were bumped off the second US release of Dolby's debut album in favor of "One of Our Submarines," and the utterly ...

New Wave Gold music CDs
$9.65
There has never been a compilation as comprehensive as Rhino's The Very Best of Rose Royce, a 16-track trawl through their past that hits from their recordings for MCA and Whitfield, which means it has just about every hit that most fans could want from a collection. In fact, it may be a little long for some listeners, since 16 tracks is a lot of Rose Royce, but it certainly doesn't leave you wanting more, and it has fine sound and fine notes from A.

New Wave Gold CD music
$7.69
Digitally remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sony Music Studios, New York, New York).
The crucial subtitle missing is that this is the best of Tower of Power on Columbia, not a career-spanning anthology that takes in their material with other labels. Since their most popular stuff was done for Warner Brothers, that creates quite a problem when you're representing this material in particular as their best. With the understanding that this disc is limited to their Columbia catalog, it's a decent selection, through chronologically haphazard, drawing from the '90s, the late '70s, and nothing else. For the most part it's competent funk, a little too heavy on the feets-don't-fail-me now braggadocio, as on "Attitude Dance." Yes, there are versions of their well-known "So Very Hard to Go" and "What Is Hip?," but take caution: these are 1998 live recordings, not the famous originals. There's a previously unreleased alternate mix of "I Love That Girl So Much" from the sessions for their 1979 album, Back on the Streets, and it would be a pretty heavy price to pay for the whole disc just to get that one track, ...
