These tracks/mixes focus on a rather forgotten era of indeed the "euro"-continuum regarding dance music. Unfortunately, almost no original mixtapes of that era/style seem to have survived and/or uploaded to youtube and such. I am too young to actually have experienced this era spawning from lets say 1984 to 1988 - the time when Italo-Disco (which was huge in european Clubs) and Hi NRG dried out a bit and when around End of 1987/1988 the Acid eplosion drew dancing to electornic music to public awareness. You get glimpses of those Metal Dance mid80s in ads for 12 inch record dealers advertising in music mags like Germany's "Spex" which would advertise EBM/goth Dance together with Electro and first Proto house tracks just under the umbrella "Dance". Another important aspect comes into play here if you look at a couple of (mostly German) big name DJs of the 1990s like WestBam or Sven Väth, who started their DJ careers playing exact such selections of mainly "Euro" sounds, but also thrown in a few electro records for the fun of it.

SPK started out as an industrial band which you probably know. Anyways, hope you enjoy this 12 inch extended version as much as I do.
