This is the third installment in veteran DJ Mike Maguire's sparkling, ongoing series chronicling the seismic developments in electronic-based music through the often misrepresented 1980s. Following the post-punk foragings of volume one and the follow-up which captured the global groundswell of excitement as electronic music came into its own, the microscope now falls on 1983, when the fallout from the previous year's "Planet Rock" spawned electro-funk in tandem with the emerging hip-hop and graffiti cultures, while electronic developments started infiltrating many more stratas of new music, whether disco, punk or even mainstream.
Steering clear of the obvious route, the set kicks off with electro-punk poetess Anne Clark from Croydon, proceeding with an atmospheric mix of legendary film director-composer John Carpenter's theme to Assault On Precinct 13, before hitting New York City's boiling electro scene with Special Request's "Salsa Smurf" and later the Jonzun Crew's "We Are The Jonzun Crew," while Downtown is represented by Liquid Liquid's "Optimo." New York's clubs also massively influenced New Order, as beautifully shown on their Power, Corruption And Lies album, represented here by the grand melancholy of "Your Silent Face," while San Francisco's innovative electronic movement is represented by Twilight 22 (formed by Stevie Wonder's former synth programmer Gordon Bahary). Rather than focusing entirely on U.S. developments, the set carries on its tradition of exploring Europe's often darker use of new technology, including Belgium's Front 242 and The Neon Judgement, Denmark's Laid Back with the enigmatic electro of "White Horse," German goth-punks Xmal Deutschland, while Koto's dub of "Chinese Revenge" spotlights the burgeoning Italo disco movement.
Another standout track comes from German synth duo The Unknown Cases, fronted by legendary former Traffic percussionist Reebop Kwaku Baah on the rousing Afro-electro of "Masimba Bele." After such a potent, multi-strained hotbed, the UK's Cocteau Twins make the perfect finale with "Sugar Hiccup." 1983 was as unpredictable as it was exciting, with musical boundaries blurring all the time and club land on fire with the oddest anthems. At the time, the word buzzing around New York summed everything up: fresh. Same goes for this latest gem to appear in this wonderful series, telling the whole story in the celebratory spirit of that amazing era. Extensive sleeve notes written by legendary journalist Kris Needs. Artwork by Mike Coles (Malicious Damage).

Nice cozy sweater, but handwashing is recommended
Color: Beige, Size: Medium
Soft and cozy, but does not wash well. Goes with everything. This sweater fits well and looks great. I received lots of compliments while wearing it.

Great sweater for winters in the Midwest
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Love this sweater! I went back and got another color! The fit is true to size and very comfy. The button detail on the sleeves just adds a little pizazz. The weight of the sweater is perfect for winters in the Midwest.

Flattering fit
Color: Dark Green, Size: XX-Large
This sweater is thick and stretchy but holds a nice shape, and is flattering on the body. The sleeves are nice and long too, which I really appreciate, being a tall person... the button detail is a great addition. True to size. I haven't washed it yet, and I imagine, based on the kind of woolly knit it is, that this sweater will eventually pill... but for now I'm enjoying being cozy and stylish. The deep green color is almost black green. I LOVE IT.

Love it
Color: Dark Green, Size: Small
I got the dark green. Love the sweater and it's warm. I do layer the sweater as well. It is as pictured. Size is perfect to me. I like sweaters to be longer and a bit wider in case it is freezing and I need to layer it. This sweater is perfect for layering. It comes closer to my backside, it is a little wide and not snug, and I like that the sleeves come over my wrists

Still soft but looks terrible after 1 wash. Save your money
Color: White, Size: Small, Color: White, Size: Small
Update: sweater looked great when I received. After 1 wash it looks terrible. Looks like it’s been washed too many times, material fuzzy and piled. After wearing it once, it snagged and the knit pulled through. I would NOT recommend. I had such high hopes. Save your money.
Very nice sweater, especially for the price! I love the details of the buttons on the sleeves. It is SO soft. It’s not super thick as I can see my skin through it when pressing my hand up against fabric. However, it’s not see through when wearing it. It’ll be perfect in cooler weather and perfect in the winter with a coat but won’t cause me to overheat when in a heated environment. I do feel like it runs big. I could have sized down a size. Although I’m not sure if it’ll shrink after a wash or two.
