Influential, innovative and idiosyncratic producer Trevor Horn is credited with creating the sound of the 1980s.

On Echoes - Ancient & Modern, his debut album for Deutsche Grammophon - Horn has taken 11 iconic tracks - from that decade and beyond - and reinvented them with different vocalists and brand-new orchestral arrangements.

Horn himself sings vocals on a Roxy Music classic as well as producing Marc Almond, Tori Amos, Rick Astley, Andrea Corr, Steve Hogarth, Lady Blackbird, Jack Lukeman, Iggy Pop, Seal and Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp in tracks originally performed by Pat Benatar; The Cars; Depeche Mode; Frankie Goes to Hollywood; Billy Idol; Joe Jackson; Grace Jones; Kendrick Lamar; Nirvana and Yes.

The CD contains a booklet including an interview with the producer by his long-time friend and collaborator Paul Morley.
