Summary: Ace ashes to ashes
Comment: Brilliant CD great songs to dance round the kitchen to.Only wish they'd made it a double album and
put the rest of the songs that was on the TV programme.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Good songs but...
Comment: This is a good selection of songs but I would have thought as the series is set in 81 that they
could have found enough songs from that year?

Also why have they left out songs that
were actually featured? I thought some of the songs went so well with the theme or action on the
screen, such as Planet Earth and Careless Memories from Duran Duran and Same Old Scene from Roxy
Music...odd.

Summary: Awesome 80's
Comment: Whether you're a fan of the show or not (I'm the former), this album has an impressive and varied
selection of early 80's music. It's good to see that they've included all of the songs from
important scenes in the series making this a must buy for Ashes to Ashes fans and 80's music lovers
alike!

Summary: Misguided........
Comment: A great TV show or film, accompanied with a poor soundtrack, how many times does this happen?
Sometimes you really have to wonder who compiles these compilations. I can only assume that whoever
did this, was in a hurry.

The Stranglers - No More Heroes (1977)
The Clash - I
Fought The Law (1979)
Joe Jackson - It's Different For Girls (1979)
Flying Lizards -
Money (1979)
Bryan Ferry - Let's Stick Together (1976)

The music in the show was
supposed to relate to 1981 and although some of the above are great songs, they are slightly out of
their time.

Also, why has Duran Duran's somewhat underrated classic 'Careless
Memories' been removed from the original tracklisting I saw a few weeks back. It was used in the
show and worked really well with Gene Hunt's first appearance in the Quattro. But its curious by its
absense here. It appears to have been omitted in favour of 'Girls On Film'. Why can't these
compilers stick their necks out once in while, and do something a little bit different, instead of
just playing safe.

All in all, this is disappointing stuff, which is a shame for such a
great show.

Summary: No Quattro?
Comment: This is a great compilation of most of the best tracks from the show. I'd have liked a few more
Hunt-isms and I'm really disappointed that "fire up the Quattro" isn't on there!
