4.0 out of 5 stars
Sincere and respectful remixes of 80's classics., January 20, 2005
This review is from: Hit That Perfect Beat 1 (Audio CD)
This collection starts off relatively weak but contains the definitive extended versions of Blue Monday, Sex, and Major Tom, all in one place -- easily worth the original store-bought price that I paid for it. Animal Song is fun and bouncy; Trans-X is fun and bleepy. The Yaz and Erasure tracks are well done but not exceptional versions. Admittedly, even the first two tracks grew on me after a while. While this is good, volume 2 is better. I really wish they had produced a volume 3.

A very strange collection. The whole synth-pop sound was best done by the English, so the best tracks on this collection are by Yazoo and New Order. Gang of Four run a close second. As for the rest...what a motley crowd; the panstick is definitely looking a little heavy. For absolute fans and completists only, especially given the price.
