Award winning journalist and writer Jon Savage presents an impeccably selected compendium of personal electro favourites from 1982-87 for Domino with 'Dreams Come True'. While the tracklist may not be THE definitive Electro list, he includes some all time classics with Yazoo's fantastic 'Situation', Klein & MBO's 'Blue Monday' blueprint - 'Dirty Talk' or C-Bank's 'Get Wet' alongside overlooked gems from Nuance, Pamela Joy, The Latin Rascals or Dhar Braxton. This is a fascinating insight for all those whose knowledge of electro stretches no further than 'Planet Rock' or 'Numbers', or anyone that's listened to a Greg Wilson mix and wondered "what the f**k is that?!?". Wicked dance music.
