Album Description
The 1980's brought the advent of MTV and the ascendancy of "New Wave" music to global popularity. Heavily fusing rock with synthesizers, emotive lyrics, and powerful performances-as dramatized in the emerging art from of the music video-the genre, over time, spawned the alternative music scene, club culture, techno/house, electronica, and more. It also gave rise to the DJ as star, a phenomenon stronger today than ever. While still loving his original vinyl versions, compilation producer Craig DeGraff, a child of the 80s with a contemporary pop culture outlook, craved to take "my favorite songs of all time and have my favorite DJs and artists remix them." That dream comes true with Rhino's collection of supertight, all-new turnable reinventions of massive hits from the '80s!

Needed to listen a few times... November 12, 2007

But it grew on me. It is now a staple in my car CD player. Most of the mixes keep the flavor of the originals. Some of them sound totally different. Love it.
 Some Good Remixes September 27, 2007

Some of the songs I did not remember but some of the ones I did, were pretty good. The DEVO one was my favorite and Echo and The Bunnymen was a good one also; in my opinion that is.
 80's remixed versions August 8, 2007

Sometimes Adding techno beats or bass on a retro song kill the feeling of the originality of the hit. a CD with 14 songs and only 2 or 3 from TOP 10 weekly hits from 80's is not fare- that's why people doesn't buy cd's.
I'am 80's fan and Dj collector, I did enjoy every single hit from that dacade in this CD the only songs to be rescue
Bizarre Love Triangle , Need You Tonight, Situation
They kill Little Respect in that remix.
If you love 80's hits buy it Used price recomended
 Future Retro is Amazing! Totally unexpected! June 28, 2007

I am truly amazed at how good Future Retro is! Great compilation. I am a DJ. When I play Future Retro remixes, everytime the dance floor gets moving. Could "White line" be any better? Yes! Listen to Future Retro! Future Retro re-mix of "White Line" pushes this dance hit to the edge. No, I don't own stock in the company . . .
At its best revisited June 17, 2007

Hoping to see more releases of the particular Rhino category.
Some slight misses, but it excels by the very high standard of who remixed what.
