though I was born in 1990 and listened to 90’s pop music (e.g. spice girls) during my childhood. I now have a love for 80’s music and the Marie Antoinette soundtrack captures the essence of the 80’s era which I wished I had experienced.

I ordered this CD double set before I even saw the movie because I knew the music would be finely collated into a delightful confection, and for once I was right. I grew up as a child in the 80s, but I was the oldest kid in my family, so I didn’t really get the exposure to cool music that maybe someone with a older sibling in high school at that time might have. For me this is perfectly retro yet now. Although there are a couple of enjoyable stand alone songs, it’s really best consumed as a background of sound. Highly recommended for autumn days.
