Stars of 80s Dance Pop - The European Edition is a fascinating look at the artists behind the massive creative revolution that swept mainland Europe and Britain's pop music scene beginning early in the 1980s. Merging rock, new wave, disco, worldbeat, and classical sounds, an exciting new era of electronic dance-pop recordings caused an international sensation.
