Some of these acts could have achieved the level of fame of Joy Division or other peers, but circumstances didn't allow for it.

It's really fascinating, and sometimes a bit sad.”

It was very exciting to be able to play their records on the air for a new audience and be able to get instant feedback.”

“I had been DJing a dance night in Brooklyn and witnessed the response people had to "The Devil's Dancers" - Oppenheimer's one hit song. All these young people were dancing to this amazing song, completely unaware of whether it was current or not. It was from 1982, but sounded very current. It made sense that a physical record should exist for this song again. It seemed the obvious choice to represent what Minimal Wave was going to be.”
