Retrospective: Electronic Music Since 1958

Retrospective: Electronic Music Since 1958 is a promotional-only compilation album featuring Duran Duran, released in the USA by EMI Records during 2012.

About the album
The album is a celebration of electronic music through the eyes of EMI Music and associated labels Mute and Virgin.

Electrospective opens with the iconic "Doctor Who Theme" by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. This is just one example of the creativity that the Workshop was known for.

The title track of Brian Eno’s first solo album Here Come the Warm Jets is next, and provides a glimpse into what a person with such a great deal to say could do with such a 'cold' instrument as a synthesizer.

Dare was the breakout album for The Human League, with the worldwide hit single "Don’t You Want Me?". A lesser known track off that album to represent The Human League is included here - "The Thing That Dreams Are Made of". Dare was released in 1981, and kicked off the biggest decade for electronic music yet. Also released that year was the self-titled debut of Duran Duran, represented here by "Planet Earth".
