Synopsis

Amazon.com
It's true that "nobody walks in L.A.," but this '80s-rock exercise collection could change all that. The Missing Persons song is missing, for obvious reasons, but that only makes room for what (by rock-of-the-'80s-compilation standards) is a relatively inspired selection. Tracks like Talk Talk's "It's My Life" and ABC's "Be Near Me" are as timeless as synth-driven pop songs can be, while Q-Feel's "Dancing in Heaven" and Yello's "Oh Yeah" are unusual choices that ratchet up the quirky novelty factor. Of course, there's also Re-Flex's "The Politics of Dancing" and the Romantics' "Talking in Your Sleep"--songs that have been so overplayed that some could go a lifetime without needing to hear them again. Even so, this mega-mix of one-hit wonders and other '80s artifacts will have you rolling up those blazer sleeves and hitting the pavement in no time. --Bill Forman

CD Reviews

Great 80's New Wave Music for Workouts!
Mary Dixon | Chicago,IL | 03/17/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you like 80's new wave music as much as I do, you'll love this cd
(even if you don't use it for workouts.) It concentrates on up-beat
dance tunes and the songs blend in to one another - so no long awkward
silences when you're working out. You can relive your youth cd!
"
I made a fool of myself...
Karen Bock-Losee | Washington, DC United States | 08/03/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"... singing and "dance-walking" along the boardwalk at Jones Beach State Park last weekend. This CD is packed with the music of my club years. The beat is FAST. With my short little legs I generally do this particular 4 mile walk in an hour, but with this CD I finished (with blisters) at around 50 minutes. I also popped it in the player at a poolside party on Sunday afternoon and my fellow 40-somethings thoroughly embarrassed their children by dancing on the deck (without the assistance of alcohol!) the rest of the afternoon."
MY KIND OF MUSIC THEN....AND NOW!
Janet B. Brown | 09/01/2003

"I haven't heard a lot of these songs since the mid 80's in high school. Hearing them now, and working out to them now, make me strive harder to get back to the shape I was in back then!! If you loved new wave music then this is a must have!!!"
