KPM 1255 - Stanley Myers & Tony Kinsey - Lifestyles (1981) This one is a pure winner. Full of 'easy-ambiented-pop' and/or easy listening stuff.

KPM 1291 - VA - The Best of Christmas (1982)
This one features a wicked mix between kraut drums, TR-808, reversed Synthi loops and Vocoder.

KPM 1299 - Graham De Wilde - Classical Fusion (1983)
Quite the same feel as 1296, more orchestrated. Brass & violins meet synth'd basses..
The Threshold (b) probably intends to be a mix between Blade Runner sounds & Ennio Morricone synths magic.. Microchip Strings is a Kraftwerk hommage (let's put it this way..) and goes completely Rondo Veneziano.. This one is VERY interesting !

KPM 1300 - Richard Myhill - Up Front (1983)
Pop-à-la-synths! Arpeggios, saxs, violins, cheesy electric basses and piano sounds mixed together. I love that. 'cause it's soooo impossible to find those sounds textures today..

KPM 1304 - Keith Mansfield - Contact (1983)
Oh la la. Mr Mansfield and his synths. Quite the same feel as 1300. Rather uneven. Some great, some quite boring.

KPM 1306 - Nick Glennie-Smith - Rock Licks from the Snakeranch (1983)
Back to pure mainstream pop. Guitar solos don't make it rock. Ah, the 80s.
