I don't have much to say about this sixth volume of mostly post-punk 80s music, other than it's probably the last one and that you can still download volumes 3-5. Oh, and I am aware that it's beyond obvious to start this last volume with Killing Joke's Eighties, but I was a pretty obvious fellow for much of the 1980's so it seemed apropos.Download

Called "The Haties" by some of my compatriots, I still feel that although it may not have been the era for the music that was music to my ears, a lot of good stuff did appeal. Evidenced here by the Bronski's, Cope, Nelson & Joy Division for example, even PIL! Thanks for compiling the mix.
@dogbreath,
There were definitely some production values that predominated in the eighties that don't hold up too well 20-30 years later. While it may be an excess of nostalgia, I still maintain my fondness for a lot of the postpunk stuff from that era.
great stuff...any chance of vol 1 and 2 going back up...just for completeness :)
TMB,
