Godley & Creme - The History Mix Volume 1


Genre: New Wave, Synthpop
Buy: $16 on Amazon 
In Less Than 10 Words: A little less 10cc, a little more New Order
Top Tracks: Cry, Golden Boy, Side A in it's entirety

This is a gem. Whether you are a fan of New Wave or fan of 10cc (Hotlegs), The Magic Lanterns, or music video directors. Kevin Godley and Lol Creme have done it all. Their presents in the states flies under the radar for the most, but the single, Cry, off this album did have it's time in the sun at one point. This record starts off with kick ass dancey remix of prior songs strung together like it was done by modern DJs simply dubbed Wet Rubber Soup which is followed by a remix of the single Cry, before you flip it to hear the actual single! It's a really fun album to have and it's full of surprises. The flip side takes things down a notch, but it a good way. It's different because though it's still synthy, it's a lot more mellow, along with the single version of Cry. Take a chance on this one, you won't be able to find it on Spotify at the moment, so if you find it for cheap (got mine for $5), I'd grab it!
