Just like CAVENDISH (or B&W's fringe years), MATCH MUSIC is a great find for someone that is looking for awesome digital, 80s, futuristic-industry or just pop. These tracks sound like amazing, but unforuntately many CD releases suffer that they masters are sourced from either a low-quality tape or directly from an LP. Not that it sounds super bad, but if you release CD with analogue material on it - eh? Also, they have great "soundtrack" styles - such as "Marvelous Micro's", "Gumshoe (Underscore)" or "Intruders", which sound like straight out from a MacGyver scene were he is being chased by uzi-wielding goons in a dark-blue warehouse at night...
The standardized, colour coded labels they used make that label also weirdly satisfying to bring them up in your media player :) Also, you can tell from what era they are. Labels with a black triangle are from the 80s (and share that with the LP cover design), the 90s tracks have a lighter design without a black corner. Even their techno/eurodance sub-label (MATCH MUSIC XS) is distinguishable.

I love those standardized labels, also very much in the style of the early years of Ábaco and Focus Music. I have always been of the idea of standardizing the image of your brand or product so that people can immediately identify your brand. I really liked several albums. I'll look for those soundtracks you mention to listen to them. Thank you for your comments.
