IT'S CALLED NEW MUSIC

Pinoy NEW WAVERS would definitely be very familiar with this Philippine released NEW WAVE COMPILATION ALBUM entitled "IT'S CALLED NEW MUSIC". It was released here in Manila in the latter part of 1985 when the NEW WAVE radio war of DZBM POWER 105 and WXB102 was heating up back then. When this was available on the record bars a lot of my classmates and schoolmates were very excited to get their own personal copies, of course that includes me. HE HE HE!! Personally, I consider this as one of the greatest New Wave Compilation released locally. With the bands like THE CARE, APRIL SHOWERS, THE BIG DISH, ICICLE WORKS, I-LEVEL who would go wrong buying this VINYL RECORD for your collection. Definitely, one record that made a mark for the NEW WAVE genre here in MANILA which also made the song "ABANDON SHIP" by APRIL SHOWERS very famous among Pinoy New Wavers which was introduced by DZBM POWER105 and was also played on WXB102 and even made it through the NU107 playlist. It also includes the two bands I've watched performed concerts here in MANILA wayback 2002 and they were CHINA CRISIS and LOTUS EATERS. The LIVE VERSION of "AFRICAN AND WHITE" performed by CHINA CRISIS at READING UNIVERSITY also made an impact on the airwaves. "Big New Beginning" by THE BIG DISH is one of my favorites. The song "The Country Of The Blind" by Faith Brothers also made it big on both DZBM POWER105 and NU107.
