The More You Live, The More You Love

And so a couple of weeks past, and the volume list continue to grow. Therefore again a quick  entry with just the links to the Volumes. Volume 117 Volume 118 Volume 119

Sofar I presented you 115 Volumes of Synthpop, New Wave, Goth Rock, Indie Rock, Alternative Rock and sporadically threw in a Progressive Rock song (remember Esquire, IQ and Twelfth Night?). I always was careful to present the prog in this Volumes since I know people love it or hate it, although funny enough I became interested in Progressive Rock through New Wave and New Romantic music. So why finally a twist and present you a Volume with Unknown “Progressive Rock” Beauty Of The 80’s. Well this needs an explanation. Last Sunday, I was checking something on Discogs, when I read in the introduction of the band info that part of the content was taken from a booklet called “The History Of British Progressive Rock Of The Eighties”. I have that booklet on my book shelve for ages. So I defoliated through the booklet and decided to import all discography information of all bands mentioned in the booklet into an Excel file. This info I compared with Discogs and complemented the list. And

A lot has happened over the past few months after Covid-19 hit the world. That gave me a lot of time to sort my hard drives and prepare 15 Volumes which are presented here with only the links and not the play lists. Volume 101 Volume 102 Volume 103 Volume 104 Volume 105 Volume 106 Volume 107 Volume 108 Volume 109 Volume 110 Volume 111 Volume 112 Volume 113 Volume 114 Volume 115 enjoy.

And so we come on the last April Friday of the year 2020 to Volume 100. Never did I expect when I started this project way back in 2005, that I would get to number 100. But well I reached the 100. I am not gonna predict how long I wish to continue, simply because I still like to search for Unknown Beauties and also I am a hugh fan of eighties New Wave, Synthpop etc. and prefer and appreciate to listen to non charting alternative music. Of which I always wonder why did such nice tunes not make it into the charts.
