Praise for 'Generation Blitz - Dusk to Dawn'

"Album of the Year| - The Electricity Club

"Generation Blitz is quite a puzzle-box of a compilation. It successfully manages to invoke the spirit of a classic era, but also marries it with a solid selection of contemporary electropop tunes. But the sheer kaleidoscopic nature of the album’s styles and approaches means that there’s unlikely to be a listener who will walk away disappointed." Electricity Club

“ …a fabulous array of moody pop and electronic freakouts.” Classic Pop (4/5 Stars)

“A hugely enjoyable compilation of contemporary electronic artists.” Electronic Sound

“This is a proper celebration of the New Romantic movement that includes specific references to the period.” Synthpopfanatic

“… truly is an album of all killer no filler…” We Are Cult

“As a compilation this is a great intro to the sounds being made by electronica artists – poppy, raw and riotous, complex, experimental. There really is something here for everyone.” Local Sound Focus

"A highlight of 2021" Reflections of Darkness

Artefaktor Radio’s Top 50 of the year - #2 Nature of Wires feat Stephen Newton – The Masquerade (NOW’s Generation Blitz Remix)


Thirty-four prime cuts from the frontline of today’s 1979 – 81 Blitz era inspired global electronic post punk/ synthpop underground.

Featuring exclusive songs and remixes alongside classic tracks, Generation Blitz brings together many of the most exciting names from the global electronic music scenes inspired by the Blitz Club era. The collection includes overt homage alongside creative deconstruction of some of the sounds and styles of the period. The set moves from sophisticated synth pop classics to electronic new wave floorfillers and takes in minimal electronic synth punk and outsider post punk along the way. These are the sounds of a global scene that is an open space for all genders, sexualities, ethnicities, ages and abilities.

“A positive reaction to a difficult world”

Generation Blitz was compiled by Martin James and Timo Jalkanen with support from Gary Fones.
