Most musical genres arise as counter-reaction to a previous musical genre. This was also the case of New Wave which can be described as the follow-up to the punk and post-punk sound at the end of the 7'0s. At the beginning of the 80s, British bands changed their sound and influential figures such as entrepreneur Malcolm McLaren and fashion designer Vivienne Westwood stamped their mark on the New Wave scene. The double album 'New Wave Of The 80's Collected' features artists that defined the sound of a decade. TRACKS: 01. U2 - 11 O'Clock Tick Tock 02. XTC - Senses Working Overtime 03.
