Four 90s Albums Reminiscent of The 80s!

The 90s for me was musically an era of disappointment. Grunge Rock bands, Hip-Hop and so on. Music took a trun, a bad one (in my opinion of course). These four records were amongst the handful of albums that were the real deal and big surprise to me. Check them out for yourself. Among these bands, members of The Listening Pool were part of one of the most successful 80s bands. It was founded by three former members of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD), after the original line-up split in 1989. The Listening Pool was composed of Paul Humphreys, Malcolm Holmes and Martin Cooper. The style of Still Life is quite a change from the electronic sound of the OMD of old utilizing the individual talents of the members with more acoustic drums, saxophone and keyboards. Handful Of Snowdrops - Dans L'Oeil De La Tempete [1991] Listening Pool - Still Life [1994] My Life Story - The Golden Mile [1997] Romania - Remodel [1995]

Thanks for the newer stuff! I heavily favor the late 80s-early 90s. Yes the music shifted, but many of the Hair Band and synthpop groups remained. Frazier Chorus, Lightning Seeds, OMD and others peaked at this time.

I have the album Still Life but I've never heard of the other 3. They are interesting bands, thanx!

The Golden Mile is one of my favorites from the 90s Romo period. My Life Story is a cross between ABC, Terry Hall, Blow Monkeys, and Marc Almond rolled in one. Another band I really like from that time period is Orlando.

you have no idea how long i have been searching for the romania lp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i almost don't believe it. i heard romania on the ultra hard to find teenbeat wakefield volume 2 "hai communist poptart" compilation, and was never able to convince mark robinson to share the goods!!!
teenbeat has a lot of rare stuff that i would like.
to tell you the honest truth, when i heard romania, i thought "wow, so reminiscent of the 80's"
thanks a quintillion!
