aye, i picked that one up :)

while there's a few 'misses' on there, there's also loads of stuff that's an awful lot of fun to mix with. great for parties too!

i downloaded only 2 tracks from that off itunes last month, the Adam Freeland and Tiga remixes. at least to me (as a big 80's fan) only half the album sounded good (i'll probably get the other tracks i like)

Re: Future Retro
 

good tracks for me on this:
BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE (The Crystal Method Extended Mix) - New Order
LIPS LIKE SUGAR (Way Out West Remix Edit) - Echo & The Bunnymen
SHAKE THE DISEASE (Tiga Remix) - Depeche Mode

The Cure/Infusion one was alrght but I was expecting something with a bit more ooomph. Its feels a bit raw. The Alphaville track proves that you cant polish a turd. BOY (DJ Irene Rockstar Mix) - Book Of Love doesnt really do very much to it.

A track that I was expecting to sound shit but wasnt was the A LITTLE RESPECT (Jaded Alliance 'Electrospect' Remix) - Erasure although the vocal is still a bit naff, the remix of the music is great. The rest are pretty much alright. Not a bad job.

I'm surprised that Morrissey allowed anyone to remix his stuff and I was expecting a quirky mix from Sparks as theyre pretty much weirdos anyway. Theyve taken the "aaaah"s and "oooooh"s and made them into some sort of instrument, adding church organ! Very bombastic and it works very well.

Of course, all these tracks work better for you if you know the originals.
