Editorial Reviews
LTM are proud to present Cool As Ice, a compilation of stone classic old school 80's electro & dance cuts produced by Be Music, the tag used by all four members of New Order. Largely produced between 1983 & 1984 for release on Factory Records & Factory Benelux. This collection features tracks co-produced by Be Music (Bernard Sumner) & DoJo (Donald Johnson, of A Certain Ratio). 'Nyam Nyam' & the 'Be Music Theme' were produced by Peter Hook, & Life & Thick Pigeon by Steve Morris & Gillian Gilbert. Several of these tracks, including 'Love Tempo', 'Looking From a Hilltop' & 'Cool As Ice' remain influential club classics, & have been extensively sampled & bootlegged. Several years before the great house explosion, with their own Hacienda club still empty every single night, yet way (too far?) ahead of their time, four guys & a girl from Manchester produced a whole bunch of pure sonic magic, which made waves worldwide.

Customer Reviews:
Fairly Good 80s Compilation of Minor Club Hits.......2003-11-22
Overall, this collection is something of a front-loaded, mixed bag. About half of these songs really deserved to go to the top of the charts. "Can't Afford To Let You Go," which samples Scott Walker's "Time Operator," is just amazing. There's a superlative mix of Section 25's classic "View From a Hilltop." I also really like Marcel King's soulful "Reach For Love." And finally, I think Quando Quango's "Atom Rock", which features Johnny Marr on guitar, may be the best dance track since "Blue Monday."
Unfortunately, the remaining songs on this album are pleasant enough but basically forgettable. It's exciting to discover a compilation of eighties dance music made up of mainly unfamiliar songs, but some of these tunes slipped into obscurity for good reason.
