Dokument: Ten Highlights in the History of Popular Music 1981>1982

Excellent minimal synth/wave,experimental compilation from 1982. Released by Vinyl Magazine through Roadrunner Records (RR 9940). Vinyl was a Dutch music-monthly (with English translation included) magazine that specializes in covering innovating, sincere rock music. As such Vinyl is unique, without ever forgetting the people and bands that made new and exciting things happen in the past. Interviews, background information, reviews, a list of all new releases, etcetera, all brought together in a beautifully laid-out magazine, with lots of excellent photographs. A must for everyone [who - P@ndora] takes the new rock music to heart. An important item is Vinyl's flexi. Each month you'll find enclosed in the magazine two brand new songs by two, sometimes well-known, sometimes very obscure, bands. The past two years Vinyl released on it's flexi's over 40 songs by as many as 35 bands from Holland, Belgium, Germany, the US and the UK. A rather impressive collection of new rock music. And a good enough reason to release a selection of these songs on a real Vinyl compilation album. A Document.
