Album Notes:	Now Music is proud to announce the second release in the '[[Now Presents\|Now Presents…]]' series, following 'The 1970s' with 'Now Presents… Electronic'. The [[Now Presents… Electronic (UK 2022 Vinyl)\|5-LP box set]] highlights some of the most innovative and enduringly popular tracks of the genre, and includes some era-defining 12”, extended, and full-length versions alongside the single versions. 'Now Presents…Electronic' is presented in a rigid slip case, with complementary design extending across the 5 individual LPs, with the reverse of the covers featuring track by track annotations that include chart positions, and facts about both song and artist(s). LP 1 kicks off with an 80's signature synth pop hit from [[Queen]] with '[[Queen - Radio Ga Ga\|Radio Ga Ga]]', followed by extended 12” versions of [[Eurythmics]]' '[[Eurythmics - Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)\|Sexcrime (Nineteen Eighty-Four)]]' and '[[Soft Cell - Torch\|Torch]]' by [[Soft Cell]], and '[[Giorgio Moroder/Philip Oakey - Together In Electric Dreams\|Together In Electric Dreams]]', the collaboration between [[Philip Oakey]], and one of the key architects of electronic pop music, [[Giorgio Moroder]]. '[[The Art Of Noise - Beat Box (Diversion 10)\|Diversion 10]]' of [[Art of Noise\|Art of Noise's]] '[[The Art Of Noise - Beat Box (Diversion 10)\|Beat Box]]' is found on the Side 2, along with huge chart hits from [[Paul Hardcastle]], [[Phil Lynott]], the 12” version of [[A-Ha\|a-ha's]] '[[A-Ha - Take On Me\|Take On Me]]', and '[[Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)\|You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)]]' the electro/[[Hi-NRG]] No. 1 from [[Dead or Alive\|Dead Or Alive]]. [[Laurie Anderson\|Laurie Anderson's]] epic '[[Laurie Anderson - O Superman\|O Superman]]' opens LP 2 and continues with [[Kate Bush\|Kate Bush's]] (still) stunningly original '[[Kate Bush - The Dreaming\|The Dreaming]]'. Produced and co-written with [[David Bowie]], [[Iggy Pop\|Iggy Pop's]] '[[Iggy Pop - Nightclubbing\|Nightclubbing]]' features next, and finishing this first side, two influential album tracks from [[Japan]] ('[[Japan - Taking Islands in Africa\|Taking Islands In Africa]]') and [[Duran Duran]] ('[[Duran Duran - The Chauffeur\|The Chauffeur]]') both using electronic music to beautiful cinematic effect. The second side for LP 2 brings together (amongst others) debut chart hits from [[Tears for Fears\|Tears for Fears]], [[Howard Jones]], [[Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark]] and [[The Buggles]] with '[[The Buggles - Video Killed The Radio Star\|Video Killed The Radio Star]]'. LP 3 starts with the iconic '[[New Order - Blue Monday\|Blue Monday]]' from [[New Order]], before moving onto another [[Bernard Sumner]] hit project [[Electronic]], with their 1993 hit '[[Electronic - Disappointed\|Disappointed]]', where [[Neil Tennant]] features on vocals. [[Pet Shop Boys]] link the next three tracks on this side: [[Liza Minnelli\|Liza Minnelli's]] '[[Liza Minnelli - Losing My Mind\|Losing My Mind]]' (produced by them), [[Eighth Wonder\|Eighth Wonder's]] '[[Eighth Wonder - I'm Not Scared\|I'm Not Scared]]' and [[Dusty Springfield\|Dusty Springfield's]] '[[Dusty Springfield - Nothing Has Been Proved\|Nothing Has Been Proved]]' (both composed & produced by [[Pet Shop Boys]]). The second side includes [[Gary Numan\|Gary Numan's]] first solo single '[[Gary Numan - Cars\|Cars]]', and features [[Synth-Pop\|synth-pop]] classics from [[John Foxx]] and [[The Cure]], before closing with another band that featured [[Bernard Sumner]] - [[Joy Division]] with their defining '[[Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart\|Love Will Tear Us Apart]]'. [[Sparks]] open LP 4 with the full-length version of the seminal '[[Sparks - The Number One Song in Heaven\|The Number One Song In Heaven]]', produced by [[Giorgio Moroder]], who also co-produced the next track, '[[Donna Summer - Working the Midnight Shift\|Working The Midnight Shift]]' by [[Donna Summer]]. Late '70's European [[Disco\|disco]] from [[Amanda Lear]] and [[Telex]] follows. The second side of LP 4 highlights the huge electro dance tracks of the '80s from [[Chaka Khan]], [[Malcolm McLaren]], [[Freeez]] and [[Company B]]. The final LP showcases 1981 with a side of timeless synth-pop from that year, including hits from [[Ultravox]], [[Visage]], [[The Human League]], and [[Spandau Ballet]].
