Started having a conversation about it in another casual thread and it was suggested I make a post.

Its a 17 track compilation of 80s songs, some well known like hit from Depeche Mode, Madonna, Duran Duran, and The Pet Shop Boys, some are more underground like Skinny Puppy, Love and Rockets, etc. It was up to the contributing artist who they wanted to cover. And some really amazing people stepped up to contribute, like Betty X, PreCog, Missing in Stars, Giant Monsters on the Horizon, and so many more.

The recipient of the preceeds is Charles Levi, he is a well loved and respected musician in the scene and was in bands like My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, Pigface, The Newlydeads. Not a mainstream artist by any means, but he contributed to films like The Crow and Cool World, and had a huge impact on the dark electronic scene.

But yeah! Sometimes getting this together was like herding eccentric cats, a ton of different personalities all working towards a goal. Everyone was really cool though and we got it finished in the end.

Im honestly really proud of what we were able to do in a relatively short time and I appreciate everyone involved.

    It can be a starter, as other people interested in such projects might have questions to ask to OP, or people who worked on similar initiatives might have insights of anecdotes to share.
