As part of our 6 Music Goes Back鈥�..series we鈥檙e spending Thursday focused on the 1980鈥檚 playing music from this colourful and influential decade. Steve has a bunch of music from Cocteau Twins, Barrington Levy & an amazing Pulp session track from 1981.

Also, as part of this, we鈥檙e putting a spin on our usual 6 Music Album Club by asking artists to remix a seminal record of theirs. Our guests can be as creative as they like with their own work - free to change up the order, tempos and structure of the album. It鈥檚 essentially a remix of a classic album of the time 鈥� a new piece of work made form their own classic album.

Today, Coldcut have remixed their 1989 debut album 鈥榃hat鈥檚 the Noise?鈥� for us. Released in April 1989, the album peaked at No. 20 on the UK Albums Chart and featured the hit single People Hold On with singer Lisa Stansfield.
