Why have you chosen this journey back in time in particular?
At first we were ready to remix Good Vibrations from Marky Mark ,but after watching some funny videos of him in youtube we found the link to his brother band, the New Kids on the Block and his superhit SbS. We used to dance that track in all the parties when we were kids, and it reminds us those funny times.

Why have you chosen this journey back in time in particular?
We are very influenced by the 80s so we wanted to try to visit somewhere out of our comfort zone, a little unexpected, a different decade, and a different coast (west coast instead of east). Fleetwood Mac was one of the last good LA bands and their story resonates with us.

For me it's timeless. It is a reminder that some works of art apply to many people throughout the years.

I'm pretty sure it will hold up and still be a catchy tune in 2029.

A bit of nostalgia... a nod to liverpool from our guitarist, Chris, who's from there.

Nostalgia or tribute?
Both! At our HQ, The Jolly Roger, we've got a great collection of post punk vinyl records. We love that era, the dirty glamour, the glory and the tragedy. They were also great musicians - the audio tracks aren't manipulated to the hilt to maintain the listener's interest. Twas an era of substance over presentation: the good old days!

How do you think a cover of Replay will sound in 20 years time?
Since music right now sounds a lot like 20 years ago, a cover of Replay in 20 years time may sound a lot like now, with a futuristic twist of course

Why have you chosen this journey back in time in particular?
Because I thought a remix of that song could smash a dancefloor. I didnt even know the song, I randomly heard it on the radio and instantly decided this had to be our song.

Both myself and Glen were always Lloyd Cole fans and his music was very much the soundtrack to our tween generation. Also the song 2CV is about a Citroen 2CV and when I first met Glen I was driving a Citroen Diane 6, which basically the same car.

More like "investigation". We were interested in finding out how they constructed their songs. We liked the chords… it reminded us of what we do sometimes. Our group is now set up like Pet Shop Boys as well. 2 full-time members. Same equipment set up, same ambitions for writing good pop music.

Cause it's the kinda song that just makes people feel good, and what's better than that?!

Both. We werent alive when this song was popular, but still I feel very nostalgic when I hear it.

Because Iggy Pop's original track is a brilliant song with a horrible guitar solo.

Nostalgia or tribute?
Tribute. But I really wanted a challenge. And it turned out to be quite difficult to turn a 90 BPM 80ies Popsong into a 2010 wobbling bassmonster. It was because the original's so unique and cheesy. When you hear that in a club you immediately piss your pants laughing because you just cant believe this is happening.

It's a gorgeous song. I'm a big fan of Japan and haven't really explored much of Ryuichi Sakamoto's stuff but this song is beautiful. The melodies are very classic but original.

I have always loved 2 of hearts. When I was a little kid that was one of my favorite songs. The chord progression and the melody are still fresh even after 20 years.

Nostalgia or tribute?
Definitely tribute - we're not interested in our records sounding 30 years old! We really wanted to update the sound of the original, but there are a few production nods to Kraftwerk in there as well; this was the perfect excuse to dust down our laser-gun snare sounds!

That's another sweet, simple song. Hopefully whoever covered it would keep it that way.

Why have you chosen this journey back in time in particular?
This remix came out by accident. At the beginig I had the main riff of the song but it needed some vocals so I took The Ultra natÈ-Free Acapella just to see what kind of vocals could work on it. And at the end it fit so well that I decided to make the whole remix..

We chose this tune because wev always been fascinated with the juxtaposition between the two kinds of prole in this world; those that like it hot and those who sweat when the heat is on.

Why have you chosen this journey back in time in particular?
1985 was a big year for me. That was the year my family moved to Canada from Hong Kong, and consequently the year I was first formally introduced to Western Pop Music. I was 6 and it was around the time I started to pay attention to music. Heidi was only 3 at the time and was big fan of sesame street.

Why have you chosen this journey back in time in particular?
I chose this song mainly due to the fact that it reminds me alot of the current dance music scene, it takes itself seriously well at the same time poking fun at the whole genre.
