The view forward...is to first look back. Innovation was rare... "Hail Cover Versions". Admittedly... the sounds seemed fresher... but the songs were not...

The "true" revival of the 80's

Not just copies... but really new...
Melodies, harmonies and beats you can surely dance to!

Yearning for the past?

A little perhaps... especially for the increasing relevant buyers over 30... regaining some of the feelings that nowaday teens are just discovering for the first time...
It is always true that only sing-a-long songs will become Pop Classics... As after two bars and lines of words... all eyes light up...
Is this just yearning for the past... or just a longing to keep life simple?

Music for retards?

Yet simple melodies have a bad reputation with the critics... but not with the buyers... so why worry...
