~ Home of 80's Modern rock/New wave Music~
This
page is dedicated to the obscure and harder to find 80's modern rock ~ new wave
music as well as the more popular music of it's time. I have been on a quest for
many months collecting music as well as converting my own, some of the music
files are my own personal radio recordings from between 1980-1989(90). The radio
recorded songs are being used until I can locate the correct artist/song title
and or the album in general, in some cases this is proving a daunting task.
It
was thru my searching and frustration that I decided to make this site and get
these sometimes forgotten and some not heard music out there for all interested.
There is some really really good music that perhaps deserves a second chance and
a willing ear. Plus, if I have a song that someone has been searching for yet
unable to locate and they end up finding it on my site then it was all worth it!
If
those searching thru this page see misinformation or music missing that could
benefit please contact me and let me know. Also, if anyone has the songs in my
still searching for list or the radio recordings please let me know! Hopefully this can help ease the frustration of
searching for the near impossible to find!
The
first 80's music page is those songs I have been either unable to locate due to
rarity or lack of correct artist/song title. Some of these songs I do have as
radio recording from some 15 plus years ago. Some are of decent quality others
not so good and therefore am still searching for the actual album recordings.
Page
2 consists of all the songs I currently have (whether made playable or
not).
The list is long and continually growing as I come into more music or convert
that which I have to mp.3 format (we're talking boxes of tapes). Again, the list
is to hopefully help those in search of music they are wanting and possibly
couldn't find elsewhere.
Note:
As to the unknown artist and songs, I am currently working with a 80's master DJ
on finding the correct titles and artists, I just have to get the unknowns to
disk or tape and get them in. I would like to thank Steve Masters for the help
he has given so far =o)
Due
to pirating laws music may be able to be played (selected songs, also
songs may rotate or upon request be sent or made available) but not recorded.
Thank
you for your support and patience,
