VA - Absolute Beginners
In a time when the world was still coming to terms with the horror of shoulder pads and mullets, Absolute Beginners burst onto the scene like a neon-clad comet hurtling towards Earth. With its eclectic mix of artists ranging from David Bowie to Sade, this soundtrack is a testament to the sheer audacity of the '80s.

From the opening track, you can feel the hairspray in the air as the synthesizers kick in and transport you to a world where pouting was not just a hobby but a way of life. Bowie's haunting vocals on “That's Motivation” are a masterclass in the art of seduction, while Sade's sultry tones on “Killer Blow” will make you want to dust off your dancing shoes and hit the neon-lit dance floor.

But it's not all about the big names - lesser-known artists like Working Week and the Style Council also shine on this soundtrack, adding their own unique flair to the mix. And let's not forget the iconic title track by David Bowie, a song that manages to be both tongue-in-cheek and deadly serious at the same time.

In the end, Absolute Beginners is a time capsule of a bygone era, when music was loud, fashion was bold, and shoulder pads ruled the world. So slip on your leg warmers, crank up the volume, and let this soundtrack take you on a wild ride through the neon-soaked streets of '80s London. It's absolute madness, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
