:I bought part 1 and part 2 of this collection plus the Old School Nation cds
 and they were all incredible to hear the older songs again. This collection-
 Retro :Active- Rare & Remixed is from the Hi Bias Canadian label. Most of these
 songs would be considered modern rock/ college radio classics. There are sone
 huge hits but the majority are not mainstream.
1- A-Ha- Take On Me (Extended Version) 4:48- hit number one on the pop charts
 but never for I don't know what reason hit the club chart- the beginning is
 radically different and then the song kicks in. Classic.
2- Camouflage- The Great Commandment (Extended Dance Remix) 5:58- massive club
 single at the end of 1988- number one for 3 weeks on the club chart in December.
 The video is great with it's Metropolis theme is great to see.
3- Erasure- Blue Savannah (Out Of The Blue Mix) 6:43- only got to number 44
 on the dance charts but was a huge college hit. This mix was not on the cd
 single. 
4- Vis-A-Vis- Shadowplay (Shadow Mix) 5:48- not a big club track but the single
 is very Depeche Mode like. Moody!
5- The Screaming Blue Messiahs- I Wanna Be A Flintstone(Extended Mix) 5:22- 
huge college hit in 1987- features samples from the cartoon classic. Fun song.
6- The Spoons- Symmetry (Extended Mix) 6:48- don't know too much about this song 
but it is very Euro in sound. Great song.
7- Inxs- Burn For You (12" Extended Remix)6:09- great early song from Inxs.
 Black background vocals- slower groove. Got to number 33 on the dance chart
 in 1984.
8- The Dream Academy- Life In A Northern Town (Extended Mix) 5:19- I never knew
 there was a dance mix. It is a great extended mix with extra chants thrown in.
9- The Other Two-Tasty Fish (Pascal Mix 12") 5:17- from the remaining two
 New Order members. House style mix. 
10- Echo & The Bunnymen- Bring On The Dancing Horses (Extended Mix) 5:49 Ian
 McCulloch at his moody and depressing best. HUGE modern rock classic from 1985.
 Great mix.
11- The Cure- Boys Don't Cry (Resung & Club Mix 86) 5:32- a newer mid 80's
 version of the 1980 classic . Not that different vocally from the 3 versions
 out from 1980 and 1991 remixes. Just a more 80's style remix with overdubs
 that wouldn't be put on remixes now. Still a great song.
12- The Beloved- Your Love Takes me Higher(The Pod Went Pop Mix) 8:13- a house
 mix for the great UK act. Hit number 9 on the Club Chart in 1989 and is very very rare.
13- Book Of Love- I Touch Roses (Full Bloom Version)5:33- Hit number 8 on the
 Club Chart in 1985 and was a massive college radio hit. Weird video though.
 Great dead pan vocals. 
This is a great collection of rare dance mixes. Great modern rock classics.A++++++

   MORAL DiSCLAiMER: We are very aware of the fact that our releases
     contribute to the growing sale losses of record companies.
     Unfortunately our style primarily targets small, independant labels
     that need sales to survive.

     For these reasons we ask you not to distribute this release on public
     sites or P2P tools; if more and more receive their music from the net,
     artists and labels will have to face even less sells than nowadays.
     Please do not consider this release as a substitute to the original, but
     only as a way to check out and learn about new music.
     We absolutely do not approve of DJs or other individuals that earn
     money from pirated music - Don't let them get their hands on it!

     By buying the albums you like you disperse the guilt we feel by
     releasing this music - Enjoy the music and be fair with the artists!
     YOUR support is required to keep them financially alive and producing!
