Description

Double vinyl LP pressing housed in printed inner sleeves and accompanied by a 12-page booklet with an introduction by Steven Wilson and extensive track-by-track liner notes by James Nice. Demon Records is proud to release Intrigue – Steve Wilson Presents: Progressive Sounds In UK Alternative Music 1979-89, a new compilation assembled by acclaimed musician, singer songwriter, and record producer, Steven Wilson. This is my personally-curated attempt to redress the balance, and to perhaps introduce any 80s-sceptics out there to the idea that conceptual thinking and ambition didn t suddenly evaporate after 77… ambitious, weird and thrilling music was all around you in the 80s -if you looked in the right places. – Steven Wilson. Featuring 19 tracks, the collection explores the creativity, experimentation and progressive spirit of alternative British music from 1979-1989. Artists include XTC, The Stranglers, Ultravox, The Durutti Column, Cocteau Twins and many more.
