5 out of 5 stars wonderful.......2007-01-19

I like the 80's music. I had one of these same cds but something happened and it wouldn't work anymore. I was happy to see that you had it. Very happy. I am very satisfied - I love listening to it. Thanks!

5 out of 5 stars Another GREAT CD.......2007-01-12

I LOVE 80's music, this is another excellent cd and you will not be sorry for buying it.

5 out of 5 stars Pure 80's.......2007-01-10

This cd has 20 terrific songs from the 80's. Some from 1 hit wonders so it was fantastic to get them on one cd rather than having to buy multiple cds. Also, great to have a cd where I like all 20 songs.

4 out of 5 stars A great 80s CD.......2006-07-12

i am a huge fan of 80s pop and rock and i think that anyone who loves 80s music would love this.

4 out of 5 stars 80's nostalgia.......2007-06-11

Remember the 1980's, when all we had to worry about was nuclear war instead of rampant terrorism? Well, for those like me who grew up during that decade, this CD is an overflow of nostalgia. It contains some of the best songs of the 80's.

Songs like WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN (the Bangles), WALKING ON SUNSHINE (Katrina and the Waves), HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH (Belinda Carlisle) and I KNOW THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON (Frida) are almost pure nostalgia straight-from-the-bottle.

For me, the 2 best songs are MANEATER (Hall & Oates) and HANDS TO HEAVEN (Breathe). MANEATER is the best song Hall & Oates ever wrote, and it also describes quite a few sadistic women I've met in my life. HANDS TO HEAVEN takes me back to the first time I heard it. It was in boot camp & was the first time they allowed us to listen to the radio. For a few brief moments I was able to in my mind get away from the United States Navy!

I've never cared for Huey Lewis & The News, but POWER OF LOVE is their best song & the song they're most known for. I like Pat Benatar, but never thought LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD was one of her best songs. I would have much preferred SHADOWS OF THE NIGHT, but that's just my opinion.

The biggest gaffe on the album in my mind is Falco's ROCK ME AMADEUS. I never cared for it, even though I'm a big fan of classical music (including Mozart!). Never seemed there was much substance to it, and it's little wonder that Falco was basically a 1-hit wonder.

All-in-all, however, the majority of the songs on this album fit nicely for everyone who went to High School during the 80s. If you graduated from HS in 1980-something, give this CD a try!

5 out of 5 stars AWSOME 80's MUSIC.......2007-05-12

If you like 80's music, then this is one cd you must have in your collection. The selection is good and the flow of the music is just right. As you listen to it it will bring back memories of those special moments back in high school.

4 out of 5 stars Awesome 80's.......2007-05-07

This is a mix of some awesome 80's music. You will love it!

4 out of 5 stars More Pure 80's.......2007-04-15

A good mix of great 80's songs. Since most bands from the 80's were one hit wonders (or really close to that), you get the music you love without all the extra "filler" songs you don't want.

4 out of 5 stars Rock Me Amadeus.......2007-03-19

This is a nice compilation of the 80's, it's only essential for collectors like me because it contains 3 rare track versions.

The first one is the 4 munites and 4 seconds edit of "I Know There's Something Going On" which is now only available on Frida's album "Something's Going On" as bonus track.

The second song is Tears For Fears "Shout" that clocks at 4 minutes and 6 seconds which again is only available on the latest DELUXE re-issue of "Songs From The Big Chair".

The third and last song is Falco's rare "Canadian Version" (4 minutes and 8 seconds) which is an edit to the 8 minutes and 21 seconds of "Salieri Version" that was released on the US version CD of "Falco 3" by A&M records in 1985. However, I noticed many of you are trying to locate this song without paying big $$$ for the long deleted Falco 3 CD and you can only find it on 2 CDs, one of them is Falco 'Hit Singles' released by Warner in 1998 again now it's out-of-print (try Amazon Germany for a cheaper second hand) and the other one titled "I love Techno Pop vol.2" which is still in print only in Spain and by the way an awesome compilation of 12inch hits, you can find it and buy it at Blanco Y Negro official website.

Anyway, a must for hardcore fan of the 80's.

Amazon.com

New Age music, ambient electronica, and spiritualized hip-hop received their first major, K-Tel-like treatment in 1996 when Virgin Records assembled Pure Moods. The "As Seen on TV" compilation quickly became a hot seller, and it would be nice to think that its popularity has as much to do with the music as the marketing. To be sure, Pure Moods offers genre hits aplenty: from Enya's "Orinoco Flow" to "Sadness" from Enigma; from a dance mix of the "X-Files Theme" to edits of vintage electronica from Mike Oldfield (Tubular Bells) and Jean Michele Jarre (Oxygene). Beyond other selections of beat-enhanced chants and a few other popular themes ("The Mission," "Twin Peaks"), the album, refreshingly, also includes a few selections noteworthy only for their originality and quality. A three-track section near end of the 70-minute disk features affecting soft African chants from Geoffrey Oryema, followed by "My Wife with Champagne Shoulders," a dollop of regal, faintly ethereal romanticism from master film scorer Mark Isham, then a robust piano workout, "The Promise" from Michael Nyman (The Piano). With so many elements of interest on its 17 tracks, the album's broad diversity is sure to have broad popularity. --Terry Wood

5 out of 5 stars A classic.......2007-06-14

Great compilation of electronic music for it's time. A lot of depth to it, you don't get to the 5th or 6th song and start getting into what seems like "filler".

5 out of 5 stars Classical relaxation.......2007-05-20

I loved the music on here they are so peacful like the xfiles theme tubular bells with the overy babbling melody and crockettes theme which was the best song with no vocals and they saved the best for last LILY WAS HERE with excellent non vocaling music with lite accoustic guitars and perfect saxaphone playing with a touch of soothing melody. My mothers into spiritual things mostly and she loves this pure moods mix of peacful music. I use to listen to this while I sleep I loved it but now I sleep with the fan on because I love to hear the sound of the fan while I sleep.

5 out of 5 stars New Age as a child? Really?.......2007-05-17

I must have been around six or seven when I came across this cd through the TV ads. I couldn't buy it myself but I loved the music. It wasn't until I was much older and borrowed it from the library did I remember how much I loved this. I uploaded some of the songs onto my computer, only because I had downloaded some of them already. I started listening to the other pure moods and it's still the same.

Flowing music between ambient, new age, and soft electronica it pulls up its own forrest of emotion as it pulls you closer into the center of yourself. YOu find those pieces of you again that you haven't discovered. A must have for anyone wanting to get in touch with themselves, or just don't know how to relax after a hard day at work.

5 out of 5 stars The Sway.......2007-05-16

I must admit, I've always felt kind of silly for owning this CD. Yet it's got wonderful songs on it. Each one sets a tone that carries you throughout. I've had this CD for years and I still pull it out and listen to it.

5 out of 5 stars oldie but goodie is the pharse.......2007-01-16

I use to listen to this cd over and over when I was younger. Happen to run across it in a packed away box. Been listening to it for two months now, love it just as much as when I first gotten it. Matter of fact, after my teenager heard it, he had to have a copy for himself. Lucky, amazon sells it. He loves it just as much as I do.... surely a favorite.

I did checked out the other pure mood cds and they are ok, a few good songs on them but I dont think it can compare to the very first one put together. Every song is amazing.

If you like music with a little color, not to strong, not to weak, but very lovely to hear...recommend this one.

5 out of 5 stars PRICELESS!!!.......2007-06-23

The songs"Sailing"and "Never Gonna Let You Go"are worth the price of the entire album itself!!I listen to"Sailing"and nearly fall asleep,just envisioning,spending an entire summer,escaping lifes' hardships'sailing peacefully,through the Great Lakes,watching the sun glistening,off the waters' surface...."Never Gonna Let You Go"is a beautifully INTENSE and heartfelt love song!!Sergio actually takes a backseat(in my eyes)to whoever that husky/sexy-voiced woman is that he's singing with/to!!! This song is so"alive"with sincere passion,that I routinely play it at LEAST 7 times each day!!Actually the ENTIRE album is WONDROUS,so,I simply expounded on my two FAVORITES!!Everybody should own this disc!!When you get it,you can basically break of the "forward"button on your disc player,while you're playing this gem,cause it's HIT after HIT from the first track to the last!!

5 out of 5 stars This Brings Me Back..........2007-01-24

I've been searching for a CD to add to my collection of all those love songs that I remember from middle and high school. My favorite song on this CD is Sergio Mendez' Never Gonna Let You Go, which was the first song I ever slow danced to as a teenager. If you are looking for a single CD to bring you back to a time when you had your first slow dance, your first kiss, or your first girlfriend/boyfriend, then this one is for you.

5 out of 5 stars must have.......2007-01-12

1 out of 5 stars Second rate commercial pap will always suck........2006-01-09

It doesn't matter when or where the music comes from, if its characterised by dull chord progressions, hackneyed lyrics and lousy production it will never stand the test of time. The songs in this compilation will NEVER NEVER make the grade. I grew up in the eighties, and this collection of truly awful radio hits is testimony to the conservatism that characterised programming at this time. Images of overweight realtors and shopping mall managers twisting and frooging to this dreck at their local beer barn permeate my tortured consciousness. Thank God Nirvana and other bands with integrity came along and changed all that.

5 out of 5 stars 80s hits .......2005-12-31

ill probably still be listening to 80s hits when im 80 yrs old. this decade generated some of the greatest songs of all time.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent collection of some overlooked '80s hits.......2005-04-11

I've had this CD for 4 years and still love it! I like the green packaging, for neon colors were so common in the '80s. There are some songs here that were hits, but surprisingly overlooked or only peaked in the teens, 20s or 30s of the pop charts. There are some others that did go top 10 or No. 1. I still love Lessons In Love by Level 42, a song I liked in the summer of 1987 and still do today. I still like Johnny Hates Jazz's wonderful Shattered Dreams. Duran Duran's Notorious and The Power Station's Some Like it Hot add some funk to this album. But one '80s song on here was one I got to hear for the very first time--The Plimsouls' A Million Miles Away from 1983. It sounds quite good and original for them. The ones by Rick Springfield, Glass Tiger, Asia and others are still superb on here. One rare surprise is the kicking opener of Simple Minds' Don't You Forget About Me and its extended version of 6:32. They extended some sections of the intros, bridges and other parts to the original song to make it longer. This album smartly acknowledges some of the most underrated songs and hits of the '80s and does it well for 77 minutes!

5 out of 5 stars Only In The Movie...NOW on CD!.......2005-02-08

What was once only available on a 12" vinyl single and the "actual" soundstrip...not soundtrack...of the film, "The Breakfast Club", "Pure 80's Hits" now boasts the FULL version of Simple Minds, "Don't You Forget About Me"! Yes indeed...after all these years! To the "average" household listener of 80's music, he or she may not even tell the slightest bit of difference...and not even care...but to true collectors of that decade's gems, this CD has that "hard-to-find" full-length version of that Simple Minds signature song. Listen! The first 15 seconds is VASTLY different than the cut-up version that gets played on all those homogenized-sounding, 80's flash-back radio programs...not to mention, the "extra" verse in the middle of the song, with a complete set of alternate lyrics! So for this...and this reason only...I give the CD FIVE big stars!

4 out of 5 stars Good 80's CD.......2007-04-13

I grew up in the 1980's and this cd takes me back to simpler time. I listen to this cd when getting ready for work and dance across the room. I was really happy and surprised to find my favorite dance song, Together Forever on it. I recommend this cd to anyone who wants to put a beat to their step and also remembers the 80's

5 out of 5 stars Great 80's Dance.......2007-01-28

I love this CD! It has a lot of my old favorites. I think it's a worthy purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Dancing in the 80's.......2006-03-11

Pure 80's Dance is a very good CD. I think this music set the stage for future dance music. I would highly recommend this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Great flashback of 80's Dance music.......2006-03-05

Except for a few songs, it was a good mix of 80's Dance songs. I actually needed only a couple of songs from this album for my personal 80's Collection CD's but I didn't mind the rest of them. They just brought back the memories. The best part of purchasing music from AMAZON.com (besides the FREE S&H!!!)is the fact that you can sample the songs so you have some ideas of what you are getting. The PRICE(AMAZON.COM) is very comparable to other websites and besides, you CANNOT beat the FREE shipping.

2 out of 5 stars pure disappointment.......2006-01-05

more than half of the selections here are garbage.

While the cultural shorthand image for '80s pop--pogoing new wavers in skinny ties and parachute pants--may be endearing, it ignores some inconvenient realities, i.e. big hair, arena pomp, glam metal, and the ascendancy of corporate rock. Here's one collection that doesn't overlook all that head-banging, hair-teasing, or overwrought, squeaky guitar soloing. Ranging from relatively tasteful radio fare (Foreigner's archetypical "Juke Box Hero," Billy Squier's late-decade "Don't Say You Love Me," "Twilight Zone" by Dutch vets Golden Earring) to energetically mindless anthems (Night Ranger's "Rock in America," Judas Priest's "Living After Midnight") to prime power ballads (Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn," Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again") to acts so wretched (the shameless Zep-aping of Kingdom Come, Cinderella--period) they make one yearn for the relief of David Lee Roth video marathon, this collection offers up a good cross section of what kept the music business solvent during the decade--and gave a subsequent generation of alt-rockers a target wider than David Coverdale's hair. It also documents hits by some now lesser-known contenders (Y&T, Triumph, Autograph) and the fact that acts like Ratt could muster infectious pop hooks as bright as those red vinyl suits the Romantics insisted on wearing. But then it was a silly decade, wasn't it? --Jerry McCulley

5 out of 5 stars keven.......2007-05-21

i am very happy. i broke my last one and was very glad to replace it.

4 out of 5 stars Impressive collection of 80's power rock.......2005-09-18

Great tunes on this CD. Good variety of artists, and every track is familiar from the 80's power rock scene. If you like guitar-based rock, sung loud, this should fill the bill. There's a ballad or two thrown in for variety, but it's mostly hard rock. A great CD for cruising down a long, boring Interstate highway, or for livening up a party.
