Obscure 80s Post-Punk, Experimental, Art Rock Vol 1 torrent

What you'll find in these series is an interesting collection of very obscure art rock/indie rock/post punk/new wave songs, released in early 80s on private, no-name or low profile labels. The releases were mostly singles and EPs or part of a various artists underground compilation. The bands are referred to as DIY, or do-it-yourself. Although the songs are generally quite likeable, they were too dark, arty and experimental for pop-oriented Rare Hits of The 80s series, so I skipped them while making those series. Then since they are not synth-dominated, quirky and danceable tracks, I did not pick them for This Is What I call Minimal 80s series either. However this style of music definitely has its own audience and deserves some recognition. More likely than not, some of these tracks are on some people's wish list. So I'd be posting them in a few instalments if I see there’s interest.
