Recently came into like 3 gigs worth of 80's 12" bsides and extended mixes. I'm in heaven... Mr Mister take these broken wings has an extra 2 more minutes of cheese. This version of Take on Me doesn't just fade out at the end and has a pretty epic choir ahhhh aaahhhhhh ahhhhh tacked on at the front. Pure Energy has some awesome scratch effect woosh echo intro.

I'm just sad that I can't find an extended mix of Tim Capello's I still believe or Aldo Nova's Fantasy. The last of which I know exists and clocks in at 9 minutes. Which is like 4 more minutes of cheesy face melting 80's glam then you're used to.

This has given me pretty big and needed pick me, I've been pretty down since a friend passed away last week. I just wish Austin had a fun 80's night somewhere. The big one that I know about is more on the depressing cure/petshop synth side of the 80s, which I love, but the fun excessively cheesy side is what I want.

Now comes the super fun part of going through all the songs and adding cue points. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK...

GTA vice city had an amazing soundtrack. I'm finding that 9 out of 10 times I like the 80's extended mix way more than the version that's on the lp. They also usually have less obtuse intros which makes them easy to dj with, and they usually have a good break or 2 that you can blend your next track in on.
The only time I can recall being totally let down was with a Prince "Kiss" extended mix.

Agree totally with all your points.
Still have no idea when the game is actually out, but i'm just hoping it sells you know?
