I reviewed the 12"/80s Grooves already but this triple-CD collection is a lot more indie friendly. As with the grooves set it is (as you might imagine) a collection of 12" versions and mixes from the 1980s! As i said this has quite a good alternative and goth mix with the likes of The Cure, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Icicle Works and Echo & The Bunnymen alongside more mainstream but still excellent 80s pop from bands like Visage, ABC and Talk Talk.
OK it also has Simply Red on it, nothing is perfect eh? 12" mixes are a mixed (pardon the pun) bunch. Sometimes a 12" mix just seems like studio control showing off where the remixer shows he knows how every new piece of technology works. Other times the mixes really add to a song and give it a new dimension, as well as the literal one. Some misses but overall a lot of hits.
