Befitting the year from which it draws its title, leads off with a punk blast (Ramones - Johnny Thunders & the Heartbreakers - Clash) and follows through with more of the same plus a bit of early post-punk ("Psycho Killer" - always raises a cheer when it pops up), industrial and ambient, winding up with a bit of sweetness (Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams") and a dash of Tom Waits ("I Never Talk To Strangers" and "Cinny's Waltz"). A real old snapshot of a time.
