More Info:
2CD collection containing both of his cult classic electronic albums 'Emotional Disguise' (1982) and 'Correspondence' (1983). Plus all the spin-off singles and remixes from his time at Polydor, between 1981 and 1983, when he was one of the stylish lynchpins of the burgeoning New Wave / New Romantic scene! Mostly produced by Georg Kajanus from the bands Sailor and DATA, Peter's repertoire is synth- pop opulence, grandiose in scale and intent. Swoon in the melodic vastness, the majestic sweeps of lush, layered analogue synths. It is unmistakably ear-worm electronic pop, but with cinematic intimations of gloriously exotic other worlds. It presents, at times, as if an electronic travelogue of emotion fronted by the rich baritone of a suave matinée idol troubadour whose influences were unashamedly Moroder, Bowie and Ferry. An early champion of his music was DJ Jellybean Benitez who regularly played elongated mixes of Peter's single 'Emotional Disguise' in the famous 'Funhouse' nightclub in Manhattan by segueing different versions together in continuous play! Peter further cracked the US Dance Charts on two occasions in 1983 with 'Images Of Heaven' (#22) and 'Baby's In The Mountains' (#4). "Peter Godwin was truly one of the most innovative and creative artists coming out of the new romantic dance scene. His lyrics spectacular, his delivery so full and sexy much like Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music and his songs, memorable, strong and powerful. " John Luongo, Remix Producer. It is arguably his highly sought after sensuous debut single, the Midge Ure produced 'Torch Songs For The Heroine', which has endured; the hidden gem of the 'Ballad Version' of which bristles with a redolence of Ultravox's 'Vienna' and it's landmark atmospheric, filmic, synth-pop sparseness. The release comes with a 28-page booklet containing both an introduction and comprehensive track-by-track listening notes written by Peter Godwin along with full lyrics and evocative period photographs.
