Featuring The Human League, Fun Boy Three, Soft Cell, Scritti Politti, The Style Council, Heaven 17, The Cure, Eurythmics, Tears For Fears, Altered Images, Art Of Noise and countless other big names and lesser-known gems. A term forever associated with tastemaker NME scribe turned Svengali Paul Morley, 'New Pop' came to describe any forward-thinking British music of the early 1980s which wasn't 'rockist' (macho men with guitars, etc.) or overtly punky and anti-establishment in outlook. New Pop was an aspiration. Punk had shaken up the UK music industry - and more importantly, had inspired a generation of art students, budding musicians and others with a sense of what was possible. By the end of 1979, while many artists continued to forge a futuristic vision for guitar-based rock music, others saw the potential of reinventing Pop. But this was not chintzy, tacky pop of the kind that had survived punk's great reset. Instead, credible, progressively minded artists sought to \"bring back life to the radio, to make the single count\" as Morley himself put it. Taking it's cue from 1979's big three - M, Flying Lizards and The Buggles - 'Heaven Sent' explores five seismic years that saw aspiration and success replace anti-success, DIY culture for many. Covering a broad musical palette packed, image conscious, highly curated and too sharp for anybody over twenty-five to understand, this was in many ways as much an overhaul of pop music as punk had been of the tired rock scene. Subtler and less anarchic certainly, but always fresh and inventive. Conceived and curated by the team behind many of our most critically acclaimed post punk, pop and electronica compilations, 'Heaven Sent' is a time capsule period piece, framing perfectly that period between the post-punk aftershock and the mid-80s dominance of Thatcherite High Street pop. A must for collectors and musical historians alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc One\u003cbr\u003e1 M - Pop Musik (Full Length Disco Mix)\u003cbr\u003e2 The Flying Lizards - Money\u003cbr\u003e3 The Buggles - Video Killed the Radio Star\u003cbr\u003e4 Godley and Creme - An Englishman in New York (Single Version)\u003cbr\u003e5 The Korgis - Young \u0026amp; Russian\u003cbr\u003e6 New Musik - Living By Numbers\u003cbr\u003e7 Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark - Red Frame\/ White Light\u003cbr\u003e8 Toyah - Bird in Flight\u003cbr\u003e9 Grace Jones - She's Lost Control\u003cbr\u003e10 Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls - Dream Sequence (One)\u003cbr\u003e11 The Clash - Hitsville U.K\u003cbr\u003e12 The Passions - I'm in Love with a German Film Star\u003cbr\u003e13 The Human League - Boys and Girls\u003cbr\u003e14 China Crisis - African and White (Inevitable Version)\u003cbr\u003e15 Fad Gadget - Make Room\u003cbr\u003e16 Department S - Is Vic There?\u003cbr\u003e17 Japan - the Art of Parties\u003cbr\u003e18 Altered Images - a Day's Wait\u003cbr\u003e19 Heaven 17 - I'm Your Money\u003cbr\u003e20 Thomas Leer - Letter from America\u003cbr\u003e21 The Associates - Q Quarters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc Two\u003cbr\u003e1 Eurythmics - Never Gonna Cry Again\u003cbr\u003e2 Thomas Dolby - Urges\u003cbr\u003e3 The Slits - Earthbeat (7\" Version)\u003cbr\u003e4 Monsoon - Ever So Lonely (Indipop Version)\u003cbr\u003e5 Hazel O'Connor - Hanging Around\u003cbr\u003e6 Anthony More - World Service (Single Version)\u003cbr\u003e7 A Flock of Seagulls - Telecommunication\u003cbr\u003e8 Simple Minds - Sweat in Bullet\u003cbr\u003e9 Soft Cell - Bedsitter\u003cbr\u003e10 Chas Jankel - Questionnaire\u003cbr\u003e11 The Creatures - Mad Eyed Screamer\u003cbr\u003e12 Tears for Fears - Suffer the Children\u003cbr\u003e13 Haircut One Hundred - Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)\u003cbr\u003e14 Dexy's Midnight Runners - Liars a to E (Single Version)\u003cbr\u003e15 The Teardrop Explodes - Tiny Children\u003cbr\u003e16 Rip Rig and Panic - Bob Hope Takes Risks\u003cbr\u003e17 Mari Wilson - Beat the Beat\u003cbr\u003e18 TV21 with the Cannizarro Strings - All Join Hands\u003cbr\u003e19 The Undertones - Beautiful Friend\u003cbr\u003e20 Blue Rondo a la Turk - Klactoveesedstein\u003cbr\u003e21 John Cooper Clarke - the Day My Pad Went Mad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc Three\u003cbr\u003e1 ABC - Poison Arrow\u003cbr\u003e2 Fashion - Streetplayer-Mechanik\u003cbr\u003e3 The Fun Boy Three - the Telephone Always Rings\u003cbr\u003e4 Culture Club - White Boy (Extended Mix)\u003cbr\u003e5 Scritti Politti - Faithless\u003cbr\u003e6 Elvis Costello \u0026amp; the Attractions - You Little Fool\u003cbr\u003e7 Haysi Fantayzee - John Wayne Is Big Leggy\u003cbr\u003e8 The Apollinaires - the Feeling's Gone\u003cbr\u003e9 Weekend - Past Meets Present\u003cbr\u003e10 King Trigger - River\u003cbr\u003e11 Swamp Children - Taste What's Rhythm\u003cbr\u003e12 Dead or Alive - the Stranger\u003cbr\u003e13 Paul Young - Iron Out the Rough Spots\u003cbr\u003e14 Wide Boy Awake - Chicken Outlaw\u003cbr\u003e15 Comsat Angels - After the Rain (Single Remix)\u003cbr\u003e16 The Higsons - Tear the Whole Thing Down\u003cbr\u003e17 The Pale Fountains - Thank You\u003cbr\u003e18 Set the Tone - Dance Sucker\u003cbr\u003e19 The Jam - Shopping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDisc Four\u003cbr\u003e1 The Cure - Lets Go to Bed\u003cbr\u003e2 Malcolm McLaren and the World's Famous Supreme Team - Buffalo Gals\u003cbr\u003e3 The Stranglers - European Female\u003cbr\u003e4 Madness - Tomorrow's (Just Another Day)\u003cbr\u003e5 Tracie - the House That Jack Built\u003cbr\u003e6 Hey!
