3.0 out of 5 stars Decent collection from an eighties band that DID stand out., November 4, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Very Best of Classix Nouveaux (Audio CD)

Not a bad collection from this eighties band. The collection focuses on their singles and dance tunes which kind of disappointed me (I really wanted more stuff from their dark, sci-fi ridden first album) but the sound is good and there are a couple of songs here that even hardcore fans might find they had forgotten or never heard.

Sixteen songs (mainly radio or extended versions) mostly from the first two albums with only two cuts from the third release and a couple of songs whose origins escape me (it's been SO long since I've played my vinyl).

The combination of synthesizers and guitar are pure trademark eighties but Sal Solo's banshee-scream-to-a-growl range was a sound that NO ONE could imitate! Sal also wrote the liner notes for this collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest of the New Romantic Bands, February 2, 2000

These guys produced some of the slickest music of the 80's. This is right up there with early Spandau Ballet, early Duran Duran and Visage!

This review is from: Very Best of Classix Nouveaux (Audio CD)

Along with Duran and Flock of Seagulls, Classix Nouveaux were the torch-bearers for the British New Romantic/Futurist movement.

Surpringly the songs have stood up well to the test of time.

This compilation is well worth buying- either to rekindle fond memories or just to see what you missed out on first time around.
