This is a socko, boffo compilation of songs from that storied era, the 1980s -- all gazing with hope, resignation, fear, or longing, into that hazy future. What would the age to come be like? A fascist state? a world under the gun of alien overlords? a time of mechanicals that would service every man's (physical) desires? Or just a burned-out husk, a planet killed by its most parasitic lifeform?
