First ever digitally remastered collection of tracks from this '80s outfit. The core of the band were members of Punk/Pop outfit The Leyton Buzzards but left the Punk sound far behind when they formed this Latin-influenced danceable New Wave band. Blending Salsa, Disco, Swing and Synthpop, Modern Romance had a succession of hits in the UK and Europe, all from their first two albums. The best of those albums plus seven inch and twelve inch mixes are included on this 18 track compilation including 'Everybody Salsa', 'Ay Ay Ay Ay Moosey', 'Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom' and 'Best Years Of Our Lives'. Warner. 2006.
A MODERN ROMANCE ONCE AGAIN!!! These boys really knew how to play and sing their songs in the 80's. The CD features all of their most danceable hits. An excellent oportunity to live those moments again!!! Submitted by ohivatko_solrrak70 (Toluca, Mex, M E X I C O .) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
British Early Eighties Rap And Latin Influened Tunes! Modern Romance were one of those British groups that had a certain style similar to ABC with a jazzy, latin sound with rap thrown in for good measure on some cuts. The infectious "Everybody Salsa" was my favorite of the slew of songs here. I was hoping "Everybody Move" would also be here but no such luck as it was a pretty big dancefloor hit in the clubs. An all around good collection if not the first ever for this newe wave band. Submitted by Jeff ("Ft. Lauderdale, Fl.,USA") Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
