The 80's Groove Mastermiks Dance Party Volume 2

OK, so you get the idea then, I take a full measure of good quality 80's Groove, add a big pinch of cheesey 80's chart soul, stick it through my virtual 'blender' and end up with a 80's Groove 'Smoothie'

Don't worry about the 'lumpy bits' though, just swallow them, It's all good.... even when it's bad?

So here's Volume 2, more of the same. Not as smooth as Vol. 1 but more inspired at times. Check out New York Eyes, Trapped & Big Mouth (Tom Browne has not yet threatened legal action although one of his fans threatened physical violence).

Anybody wishing to hear the original tracks used in this mix, let me know and I'll dig them out.

Chaos

An 80’s waltz through testosterone fueled meglomania!

This is an interesting mix that I had a lot of fun making. It begun life as a cassette tape (again) but then I found a whole host of soundbytes that seemed to make themselves comfortable in the music. I've forgotten where I got them from but there's lots of JFK along with Churchill, Reagan & Clinton, William Shatner, a word from Charles Manson and a few newsreel audio clips.

• Frankie Goes To Hollywood: Two Tribes (Annihalation Mix)
• Rolling Stones: Undercover Of The Night
• Paul Hardcastle: 19 (Extended & Destruction Mixes)

Pop Love

Back in '84, when I put this together, I was feeling a bit sloppy. Two decades later and I still think Phil Collins should've been left off, probably Alison Moyet too. Still, it meant a lot at the time so why change it?

• Judie Tzuke - Stay With Me Till Dawn
• Phil Collins - One More Night
• Elton John - I Guess That's Why (They Call It The Blues)
• Gary Moore - Falling In Love With You

Fish For Life

This is a compilation that came about before the After The Fire album. I ended up making an album of this too.

Some great tunes here though, the Extended Dance mix of Loving The Alien and WAX's excellent Unabridged mix with it's false start. The Below The Belt mix of Flesh For Fantasy shows how sex can be used to great effect while the Blue mix of Touch Me shows how you can take something that should work and get it wrong! I think the Disco Mix of West End Girls is just Shep Pettibone's mastermix with 25 seconds removed, I don't miss it. Mancrab is a Roland Orzabal project that disappeared with the mists of time. I would love to find the 12" version of the song.

• Paul Simon - You Can Call Me Al
• David Bowie - Loving The Alien
• Godley & Creme - Cry
• Level 42 - The Chant Has Begun
• Mancrab - Fish For Life
• Cindy Lauper - True Colours

• Samantha Fox - Touch Me (I Want Your Body)
• Power Station - Some Like It Hot
• Robbie Nevil - C'est La Vie
• Pet Shop Boys - West End Girls
• Captain Sensible - Glad It All Over

What's Up?

This is quite a recent compilation, inspired initially by the UK TV series Life On Mars but that got forgotten after the first track. Stretching across the years from the late 60's to the mid 90's, this is retro rocking with a cool edge. The Who were probably an echo from CSI too but what a great tune!

Cozy Powell - Dance With The Devil
Area Code 615 - Stone Fox Chase
Bad Company - Feel Like Making Love
