For Fans Of
All The Young Droids: Junkshop Synth Pop 1978-1985 is a double-vinyl compilation charting the underbelly of the synthesiser's epoch-defining rise in 80s popular music. Compiled by curator Phil King, the music connects the dots between DIY synth enthusiasts grappling with new, cheap synthesisers at the tail-end of punk and jobbing songwriters enthralled to the sound pioneered by Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, and Daniel Miller's Mute Records. It gathers rare auto-didactic progressive pop, proto-techno punk, chart flops, and underground synth classics, painting a picture of beautiful failure. Complete with extensive sleeve notes by King and never-before-seen imagery, all 24 tracks were remastered by RPM engineer Simon Murphy, many from vinyl copies due to lost master tapes. Much of this music was created in bedrooms and ramshackle home setups with often borrowed equipment, a testament to necessity being the mother of invention.
