CD Reviews

Interesting.
The Groove | Boston, MA | 10/22/2002
(3 out of 5 stars)

"JXL's remix of the Elvis obscurity "A Little Less Conversation" made one thing abundantly clear: in the world of rock and roll, nothing is sacred. If a DJ can get his hands on it, he can--and WILL--give it a dance remix, prompting cries of blasphemy. Rock purists will certainly pull out their hair after three minutes of "Keep it Movin'" from DJ Funkstar de Luxe. I don't think there's been a huge demand for dance remixes of old nuggets from the likes of Bob Marley or Bob Dylan, but they do surface here anyway. Marley's "The Sun is Shining" is set to a thumping house beat, and the groove is so infectious, you can't help but bob your head. Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower" gets a discocentric treatment as well. Bob Dylan: from 60's folk icon to disco king? Who knew? Other remixes include "Give Me You" from Mary J. Blige, and an energetic facelift of "She's a Lady" by Tom Jones. But not everything here clicks, and some of the mixes come across as clumsy. "White Horse" by Laidback is fine as it is, and the remix that surfaces here is wholy unnecessary. Anita Ward's "Ring My Bell" could have benefited from a tighter remix, but Funkstar's is too generic and adds little to the original. But "It's Too Funky in Here" by James Brown works impressively. Overall, this CD is okay, but it comes across as a bit gimmicky at times. But as remix albums go, you can do far worse than this."
