Fantasic 80s Compilation- By: Jamie Stocker, 20 Apr 2008 A good variety of songs from the show, including some classics. Definitely worth a look. Too bad they're not alll on there though citrus headed excelence- By: DEANO, 12 Apr 2008 get this album if your into citrus based fruit heads i.e karl pilkington. a must buy. evocative, nostalgic, fantastic.- By: sam155, 12 Apr 2008 Playing this in the car is amazing. There is something iconic about "Vienna"- played to death in the 80s, but a seismic classic these days. There are beautiful songs too that I'd almost forgotten, especiallly track 7- "Souvenir" by OMD, & the typicallly eighties "Fade to Grey" by Visage, & of course, the incomparable David Bowie to kick off with the eponymous "Ashes to Ashes". There are two bits of dialogue inserted to remind you where the compilation came from in the first place. The first bit is Keeley Hawes' voice over intro "My name is Alex Drake & I have just been shot"etc. It sounds a bit weird in amongst the music but I didn't reallly mind it. Then you have the Gene Genie himself arresting some hapless criminal with a succint "You're nicked speech" which gave me a laugh every time I hear it sandwiched between tracks. All in alll a great album, & a good mixture of styles & tracks which brought back fond memories of a top quality & much missed TV drama. Not to mention memories of the decade that style forgot. Or did it? That white leather jacket started to look quite good to me!Great complilation, shame about the case- By: Ms. S. K. Martin, 12 Apr 2008 Thought the songs on the album were great, but disappointed in the case, was expecting a plasic case but its just a card type oneAce ashes to ashes- By: P. pinnick, 23 Mar 2008 Brilliant CD great songs to dance round the kitchen to.Only wish they'd made it a double album & put the rest of the songs that was on the TV programme.
