Future Retro

Classic '80s alternative songs go back to the future this month with
the Rhino release of Future Retro. The collection features 14 tracks by
influential alternative artists like Depeche Mode, Devo, The Cure, and
Echo & The Bunnymen reimagined by renowned DJs for today's club scene.
Encompassing a wide range of styles -- breaks, electro, house, and rock
- Future Retro is already the talk of the dance world.

Among the leading remixers heard on the new CD (which will also be
available in a two-LP vinyl version) are The Crystal Method tweaking
New Order's "Bizarre Love Triangle," Jaded Alliance roughing up
Erasure's "A Little Respect," and Static Revenger electrifying INXS'
"Need You Tonight." Several cuts take the original songs to unexpected
sonic territories; DJ Irene reconstructs Book Of Love's "Boy" with
menacing aggro-guitar, and Sparks takes Morrissey's "Suedehead" on an
epic ride powered by organ swells and looping vocals. Catch this wave
of the Future at this site. You can also text
