Killing Joke-'Love Like Blood' would be a good inclusion.

Unfortunately it is finished retro active serie.
The other compilations also. Too much downloading pirates
Nothing of nine on the Hi-Bias site.
The death of this fabulous collection.
I cry
THE END[V][:(][V][V]

Even though the music is available through various sites, I still buy the original cd and I do most of the time. I think most collectors still want the original item. Mp3’s are convenient but they have no monetary value to me. They are just files and I view them as that. People who only get mp3’s and never buy the cd’s will never buy the cd’s anyway, especially something like the Retro:active series. These cd’s are really for collectors and maybe a few 80’s passer-by’s that pick them up because they recognize a name or two on there. I’m not sure how of each of previous volumes were sold but I think if a new volume is to be released, Hi-Bias should print around that number again. Anyways, I just hope it happens because it’s really the only series that addresses the rarities that the collectors are wishing for.

I'm fairly new to this site (actually, had it in my favorites for a long time, but rarely checked in). As such, I just want to throw in my very belated two cents and say the following:

1) The Retro:Active series is fantastic! I have three of the CDs so far and plan to pick up the other three in time.

2) If there is a 7th release of this wonderful series, may I suggest the long version of Jimmy the Hoover's "Tantalise".

If I'm not mistaken, it sounds to me like one or more posts above are implying that hi-bias is out of business so there will be no more Retro Active discs. I went on the hi-bias site, and both their news, and 'new release' sections seem to date back to a year ago. NO new releases posted in the past year.

HiBias are not out of business. The current economic climate, lack of physical CD sales and illegal downloads has required an increased focus on digital releases.

Look for RA7 in 2010.

Great news Alex!

More Fuzzbox! (like Pink Sunshine).

Or Les Rita Mitsouko - C'Est Comme Ca, to make the francophones happy :-)

Love is Just the Great Pretender by Animal Nightlife - the original version from 1982, not the 1985 version

Would love to see "Secrets" by Fiat Lux

Great track but there wasn't a 12" mix of this unfortunately.
