"My first reaction was "oh my god... I remember that!". While you may date yourself by admitting this I can also assure you that you will enjoy most of these songs if you are a child of the 80's. There aren't a whole lot of collections featuring the distinctive dance sounds from that era but this set manages a nice variety that will transport you back. "Classics" such as 'Living On Video', 'Point of No Return', or 'People Are Still Having Sex' will transport you back to school dances in a simpler time of 80's capital greed. I would not recommend blasting these songs with your car windows rolled down but this set is great for working out, theme parties, or just a nice stroll through memory lane."

"I work in a office of kids, as a matter of fact my nick name is the old man. In my office I am lax about my co-workers listening to music at thier P.C. as long as it is not to extreme. Anyhow one day I came in to hear a gettoised version of Every Breath You Take along with a bad re-make of I drove All Night. I have to admit Miss Dion is talented however my girl Cindy would have her for luch if she heard how bad her song was remade. Unfortunately I think the 90's created a music audiance that has no idea what music is. So I bought this box set and forced them to listen to it while at work. (It is good to be the Boss no offense to Bruce). I have to admit some of the employees are starting to come around. Some of the newer folks ask me if these are new mixes on quote modern songs. I admit, it gets frusterating explaing over and over again about how badly the 90's affected the music industry and no these are the original artists. The songs in this set are a good foundation for anyone seeking to go back in time and worship at the alter of 80's Gods. Now if I could only pick up a DeLorean and some Plutonium I would be good to go."
Powerhouse pop!

"This is quite the box set. Nicely priced and full of 80's dance classics although if I'm not mistaken, Enigma came out in the 90's. At any rate, this is a four CD set full of dance tracks from the 80's which will give any lover of that decade motivation to move his feet. All the songs are extended versions for more oompth and they make a nice addition for your party music. If you love dance tracks and the 80's you'll love this box set! And with the price you can't go wrong. Highly recommended."
