Comment:

A collection of 80's tunes, most of them not actually hits, but really great, memorable songs. The mix title is a pun on the title of Marcel Proust's immense novel "In Search of Lost Time" - in French that's "A La Recherche du Temps Perdu." But "pain perdu" is a French term for what Americans know as "French toast," using day old bread that would otherwise be "lost."

Anything with Tangerine Dream is a winner in my book. I guess I am a closet A-ha fan too. Howard Jones too. A lot of good stuff I have actually recently thought about. Thanks for bringing it to light.
