"Intrigue - Steve Wilson Presents: Progressive Sounds In UK Alternative Music 1979-89", is a compilation assembled by acclaimed musician, singer-songwriter, and record producer, Steven Wilson.

“This is my personally-curated attempt to redress the balance, and to perhaps introduce any ‘80s-sceptics out there to the idea that conceptual thinking and ambition didn’t suddenly evaporate after ’77… ambitious, weird and thrilling music was all around you in the ‘80s —if you looked in the right places.” – Steven Wilson

Featuring 58 tracks, the collection explores the creativity, experimentation and progressive spirit of alternative British music from 1979-1989.

58 tracks from artists including Wire, XTC, The Stranglers, The Cure, Ultravox, The Durutti Column, Cocteau Twins, Kate Bush, Tears For Fears, and many more.

On seven 140g-vinyl, housed in printed inner sleeves and a rigid outer slipcase, with a 40-page booklet featuring an introduction by Steven Wilson and extensive track-by-track liner notes by James Nice.
