Hey does anybody remember the 80s Electro track Rockit by Herbie Hancock? just imagine that Booming out of an Aiwa CS880, we used to use that track a lot around the early eighties for Boombox challenges. Uhhh those were the days, sweet youth.. lol

The song from the album 'Future Shock' has says it all. Even today after 30 years, this hip hop electro tune still can kick assess on today's music..Don't forget to try Axel F by Harold Faltermeyer and world's first sampling technic of "Nineteen-Vietnam" by Paul Hardcastle. Your Aiwa will missed these great tune of the 80's..

some top notch tunes listed there Glen no question, funny enough i made a mix tape the other night with number 3-8-and 10 on your list included.

i did'nt get into electro until recently as i was too young first time round.

house was my thing from the late 80s and early 90s rave, still is tbh but iv'e found a new love in electro too

very true mate, all the best to you too for 2013 and hang tight on that 880 your after it will come sooner or later

if you don't already own any boxes Glen i would suggest picking up one or two to mess with while waiting on the 880

Well Lav Loo the only 2 boxes i would consider away from the CS-880 would be the SANYO-MCD-850 or the JVC PC-550, see below. As u can see the JVC came in two colours. they are both louder than the AIWA but they don't deliver that awesome B-line that only the Aiwa CS-880 has @ its disposal.

gotta agree on the jvc mate loadsa power there but i gotta give you the heads up on the philips d8614 from 1982.

it's an awesome sounding box and you can grab them quiet cheap on epay mate, i would recommend this box to anyone, has all the whistles and bells and the all important line in. here's a pic below, probably the best sounding mid size box out there

man parrish all the way dude

hay az...that d8614 has had more pics taken than kate moss!

Although I didnt quite catch the 80's

I would add at this beautiful thread with some of the nicest tunes
