Probably old news but I just came across it, so maybe others dont know.

Lots of old memories in here.

[FONT=Georgia, Times]Various Artists - RETRO:ACTIVE4 - Rare & Remixed [CDN CD][/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia, Times](12 Tracks/Digitally Remastered/2005 Canadian Release)[/FONT]

Volume 4 of the insanely popular "RETRO: ACTIVE" compilation series featuring more of the most wanted hard-to find and extended versions that 80’s/90’s synth-pop/new wave fans have been begging for!. All tracks are transferred from ORIGINAL studio masters - no vinyl to CD scratchies here! This is, quite possibly, the best volume yet - as it contains such hard-to-find classics as Vitamin Z's "Burning Flame", Belfegore's "All That I Wanted" and, of course, the never-before-on-CD Extended Mix of The Cure's "In Between Days"!

Includes liner notes from Neil Arthur of Blancmange, and quotes from The Smiths, Vitamin Z, Apollo 440, film scorer Simon Boswell, legendary producers Dennis Weinreich, Stephen Hague, Mike Howlett and others…
