A good variety of songs from the show, including some classics. Definitely worth a look. Too bad they're not all on there though

Playing this in the car is amazing. There is something iconic about "Vienna"- played to death in the 80s, but a seismic classic these days. There are beautiful songs too that I'd almost forgotten, especially track 7- "Souvenir" by OMD, and the typically eighties "Fade to Grey" by Visage, and of course, the incomparable David Bowie to kick off with the eponymous "Ashes to Ashes". There are two bits of dialogue inserted to remind you where the compilation came from in the first place. The first bit is Keeley Hawes' voice over intro "My name is Alex Drake and I have just been shot"etc. It sounds a bit weird in amongst the music but I didn't really mind it. Then you have the Gene Genie himself arresting some hapless criminal with a succint "You're nicked speech" which gave me a laugh every time I hear it sandwiched between tracks. All in all a great album, and a good mixture of styles and tracks which brought back fond memories of a top quality and much missed TV drama. Not to mention memories of the decade that style forgot. Or did it? That white leather jacket started to look quite good to me!
 Great complilation, shame about the case April 12, 2008

Brilliant CD great songs to dance round the kitchen to.Only wish they'd made it a double album and put the rest of the songs that was on the TV programme.
