MUMBAI: Good news for the twinkle toes. MTV network
India is all set to launch a twin pack compilation of the best of
80's music titled VH1's The New Romantics Are Back.
Featuring 36 classic and fashionable
tracks of the 80's, the compilations consists of songs of the yesteryears
like Love Changes Everything (Climie Fischer), Do You Really
Want To Hurt Me (Culture Club), I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight
(Cutting Crew), Don't Go (Yazoo), Shattered Dreamz (Johnny
hates Jazz) and More Than This (Roxy Music), says a company
release.
After the angst and cynicism of the late sixties and seventies, the
music by 80's known as 'New Romantics' was light, refreshing, melodious
pop-music. The underground music movement of 80's worked on a dance
floor, on the streets and even at work.
While the 80's bands named Spandau Ballet, Duran Duran, Wham!, Haircut
100, Kajagoogoo and Culture Club sporting musicians with outrageous
dress sense sporting gelled back hair, mascara eyed frilly shirts
and tight pants, the foot tapping music should make for some interesting
times.
