Featuring The Human League, Fun Boy Three, Soft Cell, Scritti Politti, The Style Council, Heaven 17, The Cure, Eurythmics, Tears For Fears, Altered Images, Art Of Noise And Countless Other Big Names And Lesser-Known Gems. A term forever associated with tastemaker NME scribe turned Svengali Paul Morley, 'New Pop' came to describe any forward-thinking British music of the early 1980s which wasn't 'rockist' (macho men with guitars, etc. ) or overtly punky and anti-establishment in outlook. New Pop was an aspiration. Punk had shaken up the UK music industry - and more importantly, had inspired a generation of art students, budding musicians and others with a sense of what was possible. By the end of 1979, while many artists continued to forge a futuristic vision for guitar-based rock music, others saw the potential of reinventing Pop. But this was not chintzy, tacky pop of the kind that had survived punk's great reset. Instead, credible, progressively minded artists sought to \"bring back life to the radio, to make the single count\" as Morley himself put it. Taking it's cue from 1979's big three - M, Flying Lizards and The Buggles - 'Heaven Sent' explores five seismic years that saw aspiration and success replace anti-success, DIY culture for many. Covering a broad musical palette packed, image conscious, highly curated and too sharp for anybody over twenty-five to understand, this was in many ways as much an overhaul of pop music as punk had been of the tired rock scene. Subtler and less anarchic certainly, but always fresh and inventive. Conceived and curated by the team behind many of our most critically acclaimed post punk, pop and electronica compilations, 'Heaven Sent' is a time capsule period piece, framing perfectly that period between the post-punk aftershock and the mid-80s dominance of Thatcherite High Street pop. A must for collectors and musical historians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM - Pop Musik (Full Length Disco Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Flying Lizards - Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGodley and Creme - An Englishman in New York (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Korgis - Young ; Russian\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Musik - Living By Numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Red Frame\/ White Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eToyah - Bird in Flight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrace Jones - She's Lost Control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePauline Murray and the Invisible Girls - Dream Sequence (One)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Clash - Hitsville U.K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Passions - I'm in Love with a German Film Star\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Human League - Boys and Girls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChina Crisis - African and White (Inevitable Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFad Gadget - Make Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDepartment S - Is Vic There?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJapan - the Art of Parties\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAltered Images - a Day's Wait\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven 17 - I'm Your Money\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Leer - Letter from America\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Associates - Q Quarters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEurythmics - Never Gonna Cry Again\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThomas Dolby - Urges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Slits - Earthbeat (7\" Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMonsoon - Ever So Lonely (Indipop Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHazel O'Connor - Hanging Around\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnthony More - World Service (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Flock of Seagulls - Telecommunication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimple Minds - Sweat in Bullet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft Cell - Bedsitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChas Jankel - Questionnaire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Creatures - Mad Eyed Screamer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTears for Fears - Suffer the Children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaircut One Hundred - Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDexy's Midnight Runners - Liars a to E (Single Version)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Teardrop Explodes - Tiny Children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRip Rig and Panic - Bob Hope Takes Risks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMari Wilson - Beat the Beat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTV21 with the Cannizarro Strings - All Join Hands\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Undertones - Beautiful Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Rondo a la Turk - Klactoveesedstein\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJohn Cooper Clarke - the Day My Pad Went Mad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABC - Poison Arrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFashion - Streetplayer-Mechanik\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Fun Boy Three - the Telephone Always Rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCulture Club - White Boy (Extended Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScritti Politti - Faithless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElvis Costello ; the Attractions - You Little Fool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaysi Fantayzee - John Wayne Is Big Leggy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Apollinaires - the Feeling's Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeekend - Past Meets Present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKing Trigger - River\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwamp Children - Taste What's Rhythm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDead or Alive - the Stranger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaul Young - Iron Out the Rough Spots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide Boy Awake - Chicken Outlaw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComsat Angels - After the Rain (Single Remix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Higsons - Tear the Whole Thing Down\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Pale Fountains - Thank You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the Tone - Dance Sucker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Jam - Shopping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Cure - Lets Go to Bed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMalcolm McLaren and the World's Famous Supreme Team - Buffalo Gals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Stranglers - European Female\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMadness - Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTracie - the House That Jack Built\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHey!
