Blank & Jones Present So80s is not your typical bargain-bin compilation; it is a high-fidelity love letter to the era of the extended mix. By focusing on the original 12-inch versions and mastering them from the original analog tapes without the modern 'loudness war' compression, Blank & Jones have created a sonic time capsule. The album sounds incredibly wide and deep, allowing the lush synthesizers and punchy Linndrum patterns to breathe in a way that radio edits never allowed. It feels like stepping into a high-end European discotheque in 1985, where the lights are low and the bass is warm.

Moments Worth Listening For
the transition into the extended percussion break of a classic synth-pop hit where the drum machine is isolated and crisp
hearing the uncompressed and airy high-end of a twelve inch vocal mix that usually sounds muddy on radio edits
the moment a gated reverb snare hits with enough force to fill the entire room during a dramatic chorus
