Synth Britannia

A grim, 1970s dystopian Britain helped artists like Daniel Miller, The Human League, Cabaret Voltaire, OMD, Joy Division, Throbbing Gristle, Ultravox, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Yazoo, Eurythmics, Pet Shop Boys and New Order define the sound of the 1980s.

All the Britannia series I've seen have been great... There was one only just the other week on Punk (plus pre-punk / Pub Rock and Post Punk)

Many of them are scattered across youtube, vimeo and other places (I toyed with doing a megapost the other day when I noticed the punk one turning up but got distracted).
