Brazil’s Wave Records do release contemporary electro acts as well as a CD series called „Wave Klassix“ with retrospective compilations focussing on familiar as well as not so familiar bands from the 80’s electropop, new wave, dark wave and post punk, now going into round four with: AND ALSO THE TREES from the UK with „Midnight Garden“ () are pretty much Gothic Rock, but apart from loving Christian Death’s first album, Anna is not so familiar with the scene, so this is an okay track for her with a guitar that reminds her he a lot to the aforementioned group at the time; CABINE C from Brazil with „Neste deserto“ (1986), a lovely post-punk indie rock track that might well fit onto the Infrastition label; MARGEM SUL from Portugal with „Pelas ruas da ciudade“ (1987), another great indie rock track; ENSEMBLE PITTORESQUE from the Netherlands with „Sleepwalking“ (1984), well-known electronic wave from their album „Frequenz“, MALARIA! from Germany with „You you“ (1983), danceable electropop with almost theatrical vocals; STAHLNETZ from Germany with „Vor all den Jahren“ (1982), electronic NDW simply at its best; THE ACTOR from the Netherlands with „Picture 210“ (1982), melancholic minimal electropop highlight; BUZZ from Belgium with „Contact“ (ca. 1982/83), electronic wave reminiscent of Guerre Froide; CARMODY from Italy with „Most of You“ (1983), melancholic electrowave well-known from release on Anna Logue Records; DESIGN from Belgium with „Premonition“ (1982), cult electropop well-known from release on Anna Logue Records; DIE FORM from France with „Poupée méchanique“ (1985), cult electronic group with a beautiful electropop with such mesmerizing female vocals; HELENA MÜLLER from Brazil with „Why these Dogs like the Sand (1988), reminiscent to Malaria, The Vyllies and the likes; ANNE CLARK from the UK with a previously unreleased remix of „Our Darkness“ by Sci-Fi Moritz, stomping...; and HANDFUL OF SNOWDROPS from Canada with a demo version of their classic track „Gabrielle“ (1986), beautiful electronic wave, unfortunately sounds pretty thin here.
