  1. It was ok but could have had a bit more actual music rather than just shots of grey wastelands and less about OMD and Gary Newman who are frankly shit irrelevant of their place in history. Saying that I was forced to pull out all my old Kraftwerk cds and have a new apprechiation for Yazoo, there is a Francois K remix of "Situation" that is rather great.

    Skipped over the Pet Shop Boys, maybe OMD would take and Neil n Chris wouldn't? Another thing, is it just me or is early much mocked Depeche Mode actually much more fun than later stadium consuming goth anthems?

    I had firgotten how funny early Human League lyrics were, i like "Black Hit Of Space" which is about a record so dull and huge it takes over the universe like a black hole...predicting Coldplay!
