JasonOct 10, 2006Anyway, despite what others think, this is a pretty solid collection of remixes. Yes, the DFA's sound is by now rather familiar, but it still thrills and stands up to repeated listens. Too much dance music is either forgettable or of the "flavor of the month" variety. Many of these remixes are better than the originals and together constitute a coherent album worth revisiting.

mcOct 10, 2006Yep, this confirms it. Pitchfork are a bunch of yes men fanboys that know absolutely nothing of good music. I would go as far to say that they are playing some kind of reverse psychology gimmick where they give high scores to total crap music and vice versa....well done!

GiterdoneOct 10, 2006I like good techno, but this is not it. ancient sounding samples and extremely boring repetitive tracks, some of which run waaayyy too long. really butchers most of the originals.....not recommended.

Their refits are sympathetic yet counterintuitive. Who else could make a disco dancer out of Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor (Hand That Feeds) or turn Pharrell Williams' whiny ass-fetishism into yearning cosmic funk (She Wants to Move)?
-
Seventy minutes for only eight tracks is excessive, be they remixes or not, and each track is suffocated and diluted until it proves to be just some noise, somewhere.

This is a fine second volume... serving further notice of DFA's production talent.
