Uneven Paths: Deviant Pop From Europe 1980-1991

Dutch cultivators Music From Memory present a smattering of bent pop tracks collected by Parisian rare wax lord Raphaël Top-Secret and label boss Jamie Tiller. The eighties' attempt to bust the mainstream wide open is exhibited in the 21 tracks rescued from the underground experimental punk, synth, and R&B of Europe during the growth of DIY 4-track and home recording. This batch of irregular outsider tunes yanks the boundaries toward the outré, rearranging the guidelines of popular music.
