'80s Bands Remixed For Compilation - Aversion.com


Apr 15, 2005
Since nearly every new band seems to worship at the altar of '80s bands, it's only fitting that they get the chance to play with the real thing: Modern rockers remixed a stable of new wave and post-punk cuts for an upcoming compilation.

The new world order and the old guard collide on Rhino Records' Future Retro, which lets today's rockers try their hand at remixing classic '80s songs. It's due in stores July 19. In addition to the usual suspects of The Cure, Morrissey and New Order, cuts by Grandmaster Flash, Yaz and Book of Love get the re-treatment on the album.

Future Retro's track listing is:

New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle," remixed by Crystal Method
Echo and the Bunnymen's "Lips Like Sugar," remixed by Way Out West
INXS's "Need You Tonight," remixed by Static Revenger
Yaz's "Situation," remixed by Richard X
Howard Jones' "New Song," remixed by Swayzak
Devo's "Girl U Want," remixed by Black Light Odyssey
The B-52's' "Private Idaho," remixed by Scissor Sisters
Alphaville's "Forever Young," remixed by Bill Hamel
Grandmaster Flash's "White Lines (Don't Do It)," remixed by Elite Force
Book of Love's "Boy," remixed by DJ Irene
Morrissey's "Suedehead," remixed by Sparks
B-Movie's "Nowhere Girl," remixed by Adam Freeland
The Cure's "The Walk," remixed by Infusion

      Can't wait to hear it. Maybe Morrissey should do a Sparks song on the next tour?

        I've heard the New Order remix. I'd rather listen to the real thing, but it's nice enough.

          Other than Morrissey being remixed by the Sparks,
          this comp. sucks.

                  Hmm...I'm not a fan of remixes as a general rule.

                  They're usually pathetic and pointless. God only knows why so many artists do them. Oh yeah, because if you can keep remixing old songs you can make money without any effort.....

                  But since there's such a bond between Sparks and Morrissey, perhaps that track will be worth a listen.

                  I just don't want the rest of the album.

                  I guess I'll download the Sparks remix individually and spare my ears from hearing the rest.
