The Dream Academy
Attempting to follow up the enormous success of their debut proved to be a difficult task for the British trio Dream Academy. Hugh Padgham (Genesis, the Police) came on board to produce the band with frontman Nick Laird-Clowes, resulting in a more glossy sheen to much of the material. "Indian Summer" kicks things off, and while echoing the ...

The Dream Academy
Nick Laird-Clowes and company return for what would prove to be their swan song. If A Different Kind of Weather failed to reach the heights of the band's debut, it outshone Remembrance Days and proved to be a fitting close on one of the 1980s overlooked delights. It also marked the return of David Gilmour's involvement with the band in a ...

Thanks to the never-ending cycle of nostalgia and the enduring effect of '80s synth pop, new wave, and post-punk of the then-current crop of bands, a second wave of '80s-themed compilations began making the rounds in the early 2000s. Though the second wave wasn't nearly as vast as the first -- after extensive multi-volume compilations like Kick Up ...

Pure Moods was such an unexpected success that it launched a number of spinoffs and, eventually (and perhaps somewhat inevitably), Pure Moods, Vol. 2.
