Miami Sound Machine

Ministry's enormously successful Throwback brand returns with THROWBACK LATINO. Celebrate the new instalment of the #1 series in style, as it follows in the footsteps of the massive selling albums: Throwback Old Skool Anthems, Throwback R&B, Throwback Slowjamz, Throwback Summer Jamz, Throwback Party Jamz, Throwback Grooves and Throwback Hip Hop. So, it’s time to take it back with these seminal blasts from the past including anthems from Justin Timberlake, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Pitbull, Enrique Iglesias, Gloria Estefan and more!

After several albums as the featured singer in the Miami Sound Machine, Gloria Estefan finally stepped up to top billing on Let It Loose, and her coming-out party became a major success. The album features no fewer than four Top 10 singles, including the hot Latino club grooves of "Rhythm Is Gonna Get You" and "1-2-3," and the sweet, affecting ballads "Anything for You" and "Can't Stay Away from You." By the time of the album's release in 1987, Estefan had not yet grown into the assured and charismatic singer she would become. And some of the songs here bear the cheesy production techniques of their time. Overall, however, Let It Loose shows an artist beginning to assert herself with considerable charm and élan.

There are a few movie and soundtrack pairings that represent the wild 1980s. None more so than Top Gun (Footloose and Pretty in Pink are also strong contenders.) A whirlwind romance set in the U.S. Air Force during the Cold War, Top Gun featured wild aerial acrobatics, steamy sexual tension, and macho competition. And the soundtrack had the songs to match. Featuring the huge hits "Danger Zone," "Take My Breath Away," as well as "Playing with the Boys," "Mighty Wings," and a handful of classic soul tracks, the Top Gun soundtrack may be the perfect example of the outrageous '80s. This version expands on the original, including a number of songs not featured on the initial release, such as "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay" and "Great Balls of Fire" .
