"future retro"

[Josefk1969]

I finally found more info on this compilation. Future Retro is due for release by rhino records on July 19th. Tracks include New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (Crystal Method), Echo and the Bunnymen - Lips Like Sugar (Way Out West), INXS - Need You Tonight (Static Revenger), Yazoo - Situation (Richard X), Howard Jones - New Song (Swayzak), DEVO - Girl U Want (Black Light Odyssey), The B-52S - Private Idaho (Scissor Sisters), Alphaville - Forever Young (Bill Hamel), Grandmaster Flash - White Lines (Elite Force), Book of Love - Boy (DJ Irene), Morrissey - Suedehead (Sparks), B-Movie - Nowhere Girl (Adam Freeland), The Cure - The Walk (Infusion). This is a tentative release list and may not be complete. The Crystal method is on their new mix cd but I believe the rest are all new and unreleased.
