About the album[]
The album is the soundtrack to series 2 of the British BBC TV series Ashes to Ashes, which was the sequel to Life on Mars. Series 2 of Ashes to Ashes comprised of eight programmes first broadcast from 20 April 2009 in the UK. The series tells the fictional story of Detective Inspector Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes), a police officer in service with London's Metropolitan Police. After being shot in 2008, Drake awakens in 1981 - 27 years in the past. The programme's plot is similar to that of its predecessor Life on Mars, which tells the story of Sam Tyler, a police officer who travels back in time with similar circumstances.
The soundtrack album includes "Planet Earth" by Duran Duran. The compilation also includes "Atomic" by Blondie, a band Duran Duran supported in concert during The Tracks Across America Tour in 1982.
