Ctr+Alt+Del 1: Modern Wave Monologues 78-83 / Various

Thatcher, riots, unemployment, Crossroads, Threads, the freezing cold, cold war... you can't always blame it on the weather. CTR+ALT+DEL examines the electronics of circumstance. From the punk explosion that spat on and then spawned the bloated and disastrous and generated the degenerated. A pitiful series of reluctant occurrences in the automatic brutality of an urban paradise. The dirty rotten '80s, oh, how we despaired. A gathering of rare and obscure vinyl adventures culled from the Cold War collective. Also known as cold wave, minimal wave or new wave, these are the monologues of a modern wave. Features a 12-page color booklet with comprehensive liner notes and rare color photographs. Artists include: Moskow, White Russia, Farm Life, Blaue Reiter, Gerry & the Holograms, Magits, Klingons, the Film casts, Four Plugs, to the Finland Station, Bum bites, V-Sor, X, Orior, Eternal Scream, Firmament And the Elements, Bendall's Box, Distributors, Allies, the Freeze, and Bad Actors.
