My formative years were spent in the 80's with foundational bands like New Order, Depeche Mode, Echo & the Bunnymen, The Cure, and Jane's Addiction. Even though the 80's was the pioneer decade for the alternative genre, this music transcended into the 90's and to some cool tunes today which could be classified as alternative. Hopefully, this site will bring back some good memories and introduce some things you haven't heard before.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

Enjoy.

'Cries and Whispers' by New Order

Album: Substance
Released: 1987
Theme: quintessential 80's

So it would be appropriate to post 'Cries and Whispers' based on what I said yesterday? And it is one of many songs that features the distinctive talent of Peter Hook's bass playing.

Don't know how to explain this one other than dark and mysterious. There's something else about it that I can't put my finger on.
