The Pete Hammond Hi-NRG Remixes

Description

Dead Or Alive have sold more than 30 million albums and 25 million singles worldwide and gave Stock Aitken Waterman their first #1 single in 1985. Their first three self-penned albums all reached the UK Top 30, with ‘Youthquake’ reaching the Top 10. In the 1980s, they charted seven unique singles in the UK Top 40, with two further re-entries this century, with a remix and original version of ‘You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)’. Respected US magazine Billboard, ranked them in their all-time Top 100 most successful ‘dance artists’ chart. Working with the Band’s later recordings, legendary producer, Pete ‘Mixmaster’ Hammond, has undertaken a throwback hi-NRG remix project, completely re-playing and reworking 11 of the Band’s recordings, in the classic ’80s sound. These remixes are a retro take on those newer songs as to how they might have sounded. To illustrate the complexity of the project, each song is built up of between 130 to 190 track parts; i.e. drums, guitars, bass lines, synths and vocals. The album includes remixes of versions of four of their biggest hits, the Japanese #2 hit ‘Hit and Run Lover’, through to their most recent album, ‘Fan the Flame (Part 2). This version is packaged as a 2CD set in Seven Inch Deluxe Gatefold Packaging, with 8-page page booklet containing an intro note with the backstory behind the album’s concept.
