Initially recorded to demonstrate the capabilities of Linn Electronics high end equipment, Glasgow’s The Blue Nile’s “A Walk Across the Rooftops” become a bit of a critic's hit back in 1984, and showcases some of the best 80s New Wave. Unfortunately, the record didn't sell as well as many of its contemporaries. The band would go on to record a few more records, but nothing topped the quality and ingenuity of this piece. It would be copied over and over again throughout the decade by less capable bands, but it continues to stand out as one of the better New Wave recordings released.
