Auteur Labels: Factory Benelux 1980-1985 [coll] – [LTM Recordings]

Here we have a sort of exchange program arranged by Manchester label Factory Records and Brussels label Les Disques du Crepuscule (Benelux). Through Factory Benelux, English bands got a chance to be heard in Europe. This compilation is definitely full of 80s sounds. The overall vibe is upbeat, peppy, rock/pop/electronic/dance-beat with mostly male but some female vocals. 1 and 13 are the only instrumentals. Check out the great band names: Crispy Ambulance, Crawling Chaos, Stockholm Monsters.
