Back to the 90's.......2007-01-10

It's good to hear the big voice of Martha Wash in Black Box (never knew who was the girl appeared in the videos, but well... for me it's the voice, not the look the important thing).
All the hits, very good megamix. Over 70 minutes of classic dance music

Italino House at its best.......2005-08-12

I love the thourght of a band that only releases one album also releases a greatest hits CD.
But Black Box was the band that started the whole Italion House and I love it.
If you dont have "Ride on time" In our collection of get this one. but the best Black Box CD I have is still "Right on Time" the origenal 12" Extended Mix

all good.......2005-08-02

showed up on time and black box is hard to find,very happy..thank you charlie.

The only Black Box album you need!.......2005-02-24

I came across this album recently while browsing in the dance/freestyle section of my local record store, and remembering I used to jump up and down on my bed to "Everybody Everybody" when I was 14, immediately bought it. "Hits And Mixes" contains all of Black Box's smash hits from the early 1990s, including "Ride on Time", "I Don't Know Anybody Else", "Strike It Up", "Fantasy" and of course "Everybody Everybody". In addition to all of the tracks from their one (and only) album "Dreamland" (with the exception of the title track, really just a 2-minute instrumental, and therefore not missed), "Hits and Mixes" actually improves on that album by including several remixes, including the 1994 trance remix of "Ride on Time", the popular Le Freak mix of "Everybody Everybody" (joy!), a soulful acid house remix of "Strike It Up", a new club track called "Get Down", and a Megamix medley! Overall, this is probably the most complete and comprehensive Black Box album you can get your hands on at this writing. If you love classic Italian-style House music with strong diva vocals, you will love this album! Put it in your CD player, and in no time, you will be transported back to 1990, and jumping up and down on your bed to the beat! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

WOW! What a great CD!.......1999-07-03

In April of this year, I researched and ordered about 10 CDs to help me start an exercise program. The best duo by far is this one paired with The Weather Girls, Puttin' On The Hits - every song is great and you'll be dancing or exercising non-stop! Also checkout; the Sweat Mix Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 for great songs that blend together and keep you moving, Women of Dance, Vol. 1 & Vol. 2 are both excellent, Ultimate Dance Party 1998 and 1997 make 2 hours fly by,and Club Mix '98 is a double CD set that's awesome.

Glad They Were Found ! It's Not Enough !.......2007-03-15

I LOVE THIS CD !!!! Such a GREAT addition to my collection, especially with such lack of this sound these days!
Unfortunately...I did not appreciate their music "back in the day."
I had many opportunites to see them,living in NYC in the late 70's - late 80's. Soooo glad they found these lost mixes! I repent!
A MUST OWN for anyone that appreciates raw, classic, gritty rock + roll.
This collection should be held in the highest regard,along with the other classics like The Stones, Yardbirds, The Seeds, The Kinks, + The Ramones.
Johnny Thunder's guitar solo + vocals on It's Not Enough...WOW!!! Reminds me of The Stones, Child of the Moon, but BETTER! He really "goes out" + gives his all. GREAT piece of Rock + Roll with JT's emotions on his sleeve! It's bone chilling!
Chinese Rocks, Born to Lose, + Do You Love Me are rare treats for those who love the "old sound rock + roll."
These classics can NEVER be duplicated, + are so impotant for anyone who appreciates only the finest !
J.T. + Heartbreakers will never again be lost to me!
I hope many people discover this CD.
Written In Loving Memory of Johnny Thunders + band.

L.A.M.F.--It's Not Enough!.......2007-03-01

Up from the red-leather remains of the New York Dolls rose the Heartbreakers, founded by ex-Dolls guitarist Johnny Thunders (né Genzale) and handsome-devil drummer Jerry Nolan in 1975. Leaving their former band members in Florida with some guy named McLaren so they could score smack back in the Big Apple, Johnny and Jerry tapped proto-punk poster-boy Richard Hell for their new ensemble. CBGBs and Max's Kansas City were their battlefields and they were an integral part of this febrile, fertile spawning ground. You know the litany of names: the Ramones, Television, Blondie, Talking Heads, etc. etc. Though Hell froze up and departed, the Heartbreakers, eventually released only one album, the sonically-challenged "L.A.M.F." in 1977. This recent mix, from re-discovered tapes, sounds wonderful, less muddy, and all sleaze.

What makes the Heartbreakers great is simplicity. They reduced twenty years of rock and pop and rhythm and blues into 3 minute rave-ups that always leave the listener wanting more. Johnny's guitar-slinging rings true, always teetering on the edge of collapse: it's chaotic and exhilarating. Blistering leads, solos that sound like a strangling cat, chugging rhythms like the subway trains roaring beneath the city streets.

Songs like "Get Off the Phone," "Going Steady," "Baby Talk," and "Let Go" are trashy rock'n'roll rave-ups, with all the requisite elements: catchy choruses, sleazy good-time lyrics (the ones that make sense, anyway; Johnny weren't no English perfessor), driving drums, and immediate gratification. A song like "One Track Mind" is a beautiful thing, all irresistible chorus and air-guitar glory. "It's Not Enough": is a reflective ballad-sorta thing, with Johnny lamenting how "You can give me this/You can give me that" but it's not enough. Man it's good! "Pirate Love" exists only for the dual-guitar solo that rivals anything the Dolls ever laid down.

Then there are the classics, the signature tunes that no Johnny Thunders performance was complete without: "Born to Lose," (or, alternately "Born Too Loose") which opens the album: with some out-of-tune guitar whines, and the lyrics reveals again just what a poet of the streets Johnny was: "Nothin' to do/Oh nothin' to say/Only one thing that I want/It's the only way/I said hit it!/Baby I was born to lose."

"Chinese Rocks" is perhaps Thunders' most famous song even though it was written by fellow junkster Dee Dee Ramone. Anyone unsure as to what the song refers can be sure, it ain't nothing like Pop Rocks.

"The plaster's fallin off the walls
My girlfriend's cryin in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch
I shoulda been rich
But I'm just diggin a Chinese ditch
I'm livin on Chinese rocks
All my best things are in hock
I'm livin on Chinese rocks
Everything is in the pawn shop"

These songs depict the downside of downtown and how the jungle could eat you alive. Johnny's status as a stylish, decadent loser who strutted those mean streets is legendary. As Wayne Kramer (MC5) said of Johnny: "He could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory."

The Heartbreakers weren't really a punk band, even though they rounded out the legendary Anarchy tour of the UK in late '76 with a couple bands you mighta heard of, the Sex Pistols and the Clash. Rumor has it--actually, it's more than rumor, it's fact--that the Heartbreakers introduced heroin to the much younger and more naive UK punks, and Nancy Spungen went looking for Jerry Nolan and followed them there. You know what happened after that.

The band was never able to secure a record deal with an American label due to their, uh, extracurricular activities, so eventually they broke up. Johnny would put out a decidedly mixed solo album a year later ("So Alone") and continue to travel the world as a performer. Shows were plagued by his drug use, his attitude, his poor guitar-playing. I never got to see him perform, and odds are that if I had, I'd've seen a shambles of a set. Although a friend saw him in the mid-80s and remembers the acoustic set Johnny did as particularly entertaining. In April of 1991 Johnny Thunders was hauled out of a grimy New Orleans hotel, his lifeless body doubled over from the effects of countless drugs. It's not enough, is it, Johnny? No, I guess it never is.

Well, all that don't matter. What does matter is that if you care about real rock'n'roll you need this album. It rocks like nothing else I know, but fits kinda between the Stones and the Replacements (whose "Johnny's Gonna Die" is an ode to Thunders), G'n'R, Hanoi Rocks, very early Crue and other hard rock of the '80s. Practically every hard-rock/glam/metal guitarist that tosses a mane of out-of-control hair with a sneer and screech copped it from Johnny (who of course copped it from Keith Richards, let's be honest here). Johnny deserves to be remembered for his single-minded rock tunes, his dedication to the rock'n'roll lifestyle, and also for one of the coolest rock "nom de guerres" ever--I mean, "Johnny Thunders" how cool is that?! Thanks Johnny Rock on RIP!

i shoulda been rich..........2007-02-06

This album was the eye opener for me in '77. These guys rocked it, and lived it, like nobody else's business. Walter's guitar style complimented Johnny's like they were twin brothers. And, it's fun to figure out who played what on which track, although Johnny (the musical genius) is almost always evident. What the world really needs is more bass and drums like Jerry and Billy played it. Simple, powerful, succinct. I was lucky enough to see The Heartbreakers live. They changed my life for the better.

Johnny Thunders&The Heartbreakers - 'L.A.M.F.:The Lost '77 Mixes' (Freud-Jungle).......2006-11-05

This is maybe the third Johnny Thunders CD I've ever heard.Certainly can see WHY there have been so numerous titles of his put out.The late New York Dolls guitarist can certainly give the fans what they want.Total of fourteen good old school All American tracks here to wet appetite with.Most impressive cuts are "Baby Talk","It's Not Enough",the very NY Dolls-ish "Pirate Love",the rocking "Let Go" and the Berry Gordy cover "Do You Love Me".Line-up:Johnny Thunders-guitar&vocals,Billy Rath-bass,Walter Lure-guitar&vocals and fellow Dolls alumni Jerry Nolan-drums.Do check it out.

Second Review.......2006-05-16

After giving this album a second run, I change my opinion. This is a pretty good album, and the newer mix brings it all together. And while I still believe that "So Alone" and the Dolls first album are superior, I've come to appreciate this album on its own terms. Better than most other punk. High level of musicianship on Johnny's part (no pun intended.)

the boys from Logo finally get a single release.......2007-06-29

The gay twin brothers who made it big on Logo with their own reality show about coming out while pursuing a recording career have finally released their first single. And no, it is not a cover version of the classic Sparks new wave synth track. It's an original, and it is produced by none other than writer/producer Desmond Child, an openly gay man who was responsible for a whole lot of songs on Cher's 1980s come back rock albums. Here, though, it's ALL about the dance music. The blend of mixes goes from disco house to tribal to my favorite, the electro pop house Dave Aude mix. Tracks are:

Amazon.com

A favorite of folk fans in the Boston area, the singer-songwriter makes a striking bid for a broader audience with her third release. The propulsive "East of the Mountains" and "Short Work" benefit from the backbeat of former Morphine drummer Billy Conway (Delmhorst's co-producer), while "Hurricane" builds to a furious climax through the Neil Young-style guitar squall of Kevin Barry. Multi-instrumentalist Delmhorst seasons various tracks with fiddle, cello, and guitars. Though her breathy, brooding vocals can occasionally sound a bit mannered--giving a cloying quality to the overly precious "Hummingbird"--most of the musical settings reinforce the power of her elemental imagery. While the bulk of the material evokes the turbulence of a relationship, the conviction that Delmhorst brings to her music suggests that it would take an awfully strong wind to blow her away. --Don McLeese

Songs for anyone who likes acoustic music, hurricane, drought, or otherwise.......2006-03-26

If you needed proof that the best songwriters out there are not the most famous, Kris is it. Her voice will floor you and her lyrics will pick you back up again. Buy this album, and then go and buy Red Bird, her collaboration with P. Mulvey and J. Foucault. You won't regret it.

Delmhorsts songs are strong, implacable and iconic. In this album she really abandons the personal-confessional style of 90s-era acoustic songwriting -- and fully comes into her own, using the pure voice of metaphor, myth, and image. Delmhorst loves the negative image -- "Baby, you're no train, you're the track" ... "no more weathervane, I'm gonna be the wind / no more turn around" -- and through her gorgeous low voice you can hear the muscle of her language rippling powerfully beneath.

And what a voice! It grows dark, menacing in minor in the likes of "East of the Mountains," "Weathervane" and "Come Home on the Train," and so sweet and gauzelike in "Juice + June" and (especially) "Mingalay" that the hard of heart would grow teary-eyed to hear her.

Simply put, this album is a keeper.

Trains and Hurricanes!.......2005-02-13

I don't buy much North American music, though you'll find Caroline Lavelle, Loreena Mckennitt, Mae Moore, Sarah McLachlan, October Project, Paul Simon, Kristine W, Milla Jovovich, and Over the Rhine in my collection (all of these, by the way, are recommended). Kris Delmhorst was unknown to me until just a few weeks ago. Based on a personal recommendation (thanks a million, Katie!) I bought it, and I have been listening to it almost non-stop since. I adore this album!

To those unfamiliar with this artist, her voice is somewhat reminiscent of McLachlan's, but the songs are moodier, less contrived, and seem more personal than McLachlan's. In that respect, her work has more in common with Mae Moore, but with a more visceral approach.

Several of the songs contain imagery of trains and hurricanes, the reasons for which are mysterious....

Why isn't she a star?.......2004-05-17

I love female singer-songwriters-- I'm a huge fan of Gillian Welch as well as Joni Mitchell, Ani Difranco, the Indigo Girls, Lucinda Williams, Alison Krauss, Norah Jones, etc. I'm always on the lookout for more to add to list, and if you'll let me mix my metaphors, Kris Delmhorst is a diamond in a haystack. Her voice and lyrics are beautiful and I'm really surprised that she isn't better known. Thank goodness I happened upon amazon's free download because I had never heard of this amazing woman. I went right out and bought all of her CDs and every last one is worth it. The songs range from mellow and introspective to rollicking and bluegrassy. If you like Alison Kruass, Norah Jones, Joni Mitchell, or the Indigo Girls I almost guarantee you'll appreciate Kris's albums.

One more time.......2004-03-13

This is one of those rare cds that I can listen to for days at a time and not get tired or annoyed. There is quite the musical mix and yet Kris's voice is constantly blending in perfectly as it floats over the music. This cd has it all: upbeat 'bluegrassy' songs such as "Bobby Lee", "East of The Mountains", "Come Home" and "Short Work". It has slow, jazzy songs "Waiting Under the Waves" and "Juice+June". Then there are the more 'rocky' songs "Wasted Word", "Weathervane". And of course, my personal favorites, the sad, mellow songs that really allow Kris's vocals to shine "Too Late", "You're No Train", and "Mingalay". "Hummingbird" is one of the most beautiful songs I have EVER heard and it is my favorite of this cd. I can get lost in this music and that is a good thing. Kris has a unique and soulful voice that can put me to sleep or get me excited to be alive. I love this cd and highly recommend it to all!!

Unforgettable Voice, Beautiful Music.......2004-01-27

Admittedly, I'm a sucker for great women singers. But on this album Kris Delmhorst shows she has much more than a distinctive voice, bringing a thematically linked set of songs together with some wonderful musicianship by Delmhorst and her band. And yet, it really is Delmhorst's voice that makes this an album to listen to both casually and carefully... repeatedly. But while you listen, you'll also find that this CD shows lots of respect for folk music styles. A sample of the songs and why I can't stop listening:

"East of the Mountains"
This country ballad displays something of Delmhorst's feel for a range of music styles. The voice here has all the rich texture of the gentler songs on the album, but applied to a quick-tempo tale of a woman "sent away" by her family, never to see her lover again, Delmhorst registers both sensual longing and resilient anger.

"Bobby Lee"
Of the many songs on the album that give Delmhorst a chance to really give the warmth of her voice full sway, this along with "Mingalay" may be the best. And while the star here is the wonderful tone of voice that gives the song's simple melody its full emotional range, the more I listen, the more I find myself thinking about its subject... the difficulty of "rolling the stone away" in a maybe-permanently broken relationship.

This song is a great example of just how resourceful a musician Delmhorst is, neither just a singer nor just a songwriter. You sense here that the album has a non-ostentatious feel for making use of its range of resources, much like you do when you listen to Merrie Amsterberg's "Little Steps" or Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels on a Gravel Road" (as different as those artists are from Delmhorst).

"Juice and June"
At her most sultry here, Delmhorst and her band take it slow to get across the beauty of dancing toward passion, under the influence of "juice and June." The lovely risks of letting yourself fall too soon, which are slyly linked here to the pleasures of indulging in the music itself, give the song that wonderful quality of being a song about falling that lures its listener into falling for the song's own "juice and June."

"Hurricane"
I just have to begin by saying that this one sends chills down my spine. Again, and again. Why? Well, the song is about loving (someone's) storminess. It's an appealing tune, makes you want to sing it. And while the lyrics aren't unnecessarily tangled up with poetry... the texture of Delmhorst's voice gets a hold of the passion without histrionics... that is, through singing in the purest sense, not a display of singing. She handles the song the way a great actor does a great monologue, letting the material fully register in herself and show her the way to give it voice. And so she let's the song unfold toward its stormy closing instrumental burst in a way that feels organic.

"Come Home"
A song that could show up on a Gillian Welch album, here played simply with background rain effects, and sung with that remarkable voice. Listen to it on headphones to hear how Delmhorst keeps it simple and yet there's nothing simple in a voice working with a song's genre to capture its expressive range while staying true to its style.

"Wasted Word"
A sweet tune, about making the "wasted" past right in the lovely present. Pain has never looked so sweet, sincerely so, but you can't sing this song and make it believable unless you have a voice that can capture pain and beauty at once.

"Short Work"
A sort of country shuffle on betrayal and paying it back. Again, Delmhorst knows how to work within the song's shape to texture it musically but not interfere with the expressive potentials that it has as written.

"Mingalay"
An album that circles its hurricane theme throughout would not be complete without a traditional sailor's ballad... given a thoughtful update here through Delmhorst's final verse that complements the song's traditional look homeward from the sea with a look out to sea from those waiting on land. Played here with a bluesy sultriness, the song allows Delmhorst to handle the melody with a characteristic mix of aching tenderness and passion.

And again, you'll be torn between singing along and listening in rapt silence. To me, a singer who can cultivate precisely this conflict in the listener must be doing something right.

If you want to get a sense of just how remarkable the songwriting is here, do this: make a short playlist for yourself of
"East of the Mountains"
"Bobby Lee"
"Juice and June"
"Hurricane"
"Wasted Word"
"Mingalay"
and give this short set a listen. I defy you to find me a more beautiful set of songs on any recent recording, though each is different in style. But don't keep listening to this short set, go back to the full CD and listen to it all.

This is very, very good songwriting, musicianship, and, not least of all, singing. Spread the word, because this is an artist who deserves an appreciative audience.

I cannot say enough about this CD!.......2007-05-01

I love it for its intricate harmonies (I love to sing along in harmony) and its brilliant, original, and hysterical lyrics. Pity Party is my absolute favorite. These ladies have a scathing sense of humor. My two year old, autistic daughter is completely enchanted by this CD, as well. I expect we'll be playing a whole lot of it in the Mommy-mobile for many years to come.

Great Lyrics~!.......2007-02-04

I love the lyrics! There's such humor in some of the tracks - really wonderful rhythmic well made music - unlike anything really - so refreshingly NOT new agey. More, please!

Rite the first time is very RITE!!.......2006-08-18

I bought this CD based on the name of the group, and the name of the CD, just having heard the little bitty preview on Amazon and I'm glad I did. It is intelligent humor; entertaining musically as all three women are talented both in voice and instrument. Sometimes, in the Craft, we take ourselves a little bit too seriously. This is an excellent reminder that there's another side to it all.

Just wonderful.......2005-12-09

I love this cd. The eclectic mix of music that sing about the mundane and make it so fun. I enjoy just singing along with these women. They have done a great job and made a wonderful cd. This album is quirky and light-hearted and well worth the money spent on it. Great music!

Anything by the 'sisters is great. C'mon, how many voices wax poetic about Iowa? This CD is solid and well thought out, with vocals that penetrate the mind; and enrich the believers nights. And it's too bad so few people will ever hear of them. This celebration is NOT just for us; it's for everyone. Blessed be.

Album Description

4 strings took the dance world by storm in 2002 with their hit single "take me away (into the night)", originally big in it's own right as an instrumental track championed by the likes of paul van dyk and tiesto. Once vanessa van hermert's vocal was added chart success was destined. Constant touring by dj jan de vos (4 strings main driving force) with up to 2 trips per year to australian shores, has seen the 4 strings name cemented into the psyche of australian dance fans and really developed a loyal following in this country.

excellent collection.......2006-10-07

I am very happy they released this, especially since they put some remixes on this collection that were not on the previously released more expensive Greatest Dance Mixes collection.

It happens I already had "Stop Listen Look & Think" but I am really glad they included it for the sake of other people who were desperately searching for it. Still- the Expose' remix most people want more than any other is the unreleased Dakeyne mix of "Tell Me Why" which I beleive was put out through the DMC remix service back when the song first came out.

I got this as well as the Taylor Dayne & Cyndi Lauper dance diva remixes collections and was very happy with all of them. I also bought their recent George LaMond "Where does that leave love" collection because it has the rare "1990 Club Mix" of "Bad Of The Heart" thouugh I dont understand why the rest of that CD was filled with album versions, when they could've given him a Remix CD just like this Expose collection and I think a lot more people would've bought it. I hope they are eventually planning on releasing a full budget remix disc for him.

If Sony/BMG really wants to cash in on remix re-releases, they should also put out budget remix & rarities collections for Gloria Estefan, Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam, Lissette Melendez, Ace Of Base, Real McCoy, Snap!, Black Box, Basia, Celine Dion, The Cover Girls, Lisa Stansfield, to name a few of the ones that would really fly of store shelves.

Better than the "Greatest Dance Mixes"..........2006-09-27

This one is titled "Dance Mixes" released in 2005 by Sony Bmg as printed on the back insert. Tracklisting is slightly different and better to my opinion than the previous release "Greatest Dance Mixes" which is more than double the price of this one. This version features two rarities that most djs are looking for, "Stop, listen, look & think" and "What you don't know".
Anyway, here is the tracklisting and timing of each song:

1- Point no return (Original Version) 6:07
2- Let me be the one (12: Version) 8:04
3- What you don't know (Bass Mix) 7:09 [First time on CD!!]
4- Come go with me (Remix 12" Version) 7:24 [Not the great original version, which gladly has been released on 2006 "80's Dance: Gold"]
5- Stop, listen, look and think (House Mix) 4:08 [Released as PROMO, very rare and very nice]
6- I specialize in love (Remix) 7:16
7- Tell me why (12" Version) 7:39
8- I wish the phone would ring (Extended Version) 6:21
9- When I look at him "Suave Mix" (Acoustic Version) 7:00
10- Seasons Change (12" Version) 7:46

This is a must for any dj, fan of Expose or freestyle.
Buy it now and enjoy...

It's hard to imagine Aphex Twin having a more appropriately named label (Warp); fitting also that 26 Mixes for Cash should have such an honest title. Having passed off a random gabba track as a Lemonheads remix and not bothering to hear the Nine Inch Nails originals before handing over his mixes, Aphex Twin has historically proved a little wayward in his methods. Not so much remixing as recycling, Richard D James's method is not unlike flinging tracks into a garbage crusher just long enough so only the bare bones of melody and structure survive. Covering a decade's work, this stunning eclectic mix effortlessly flicks from cinematic ambience (Nine Inch Nails--"At the Heart of It All") and industrial pandemonium (Mescalinum United's "We Have Arrived") to squelching acid trance (his own previously unreleased acid edit of "Windowlicker"). The disparate range of artists remixed is as remarkable as the music, with Mike Flowers Pops and Wagon Christ making unlikely bedfellows. Improbable yet inspired highlights come in the form of his haunting interpretation of David Bowie's "Heroes" symphony conducted by Philip Glass and the breathtakingly ethereal transformation of Curve's "Falling Free." --Christopher Barrett

Album Description

A 26 track compilation on 2 CDs of Aphex Twin's blinding remixes (plus two previously unreleased Aphex tunes). Encompassing 10 years of always evolving, unpredictable Aphex Twin sounds, from acid trax and raved-up bangers to strangely commercial pop and his inimitably delicate, ambient empathies. Gatefold digipak. Warp. 2003.

Good buy!.......2007-02-19

I bought this cd for my guy and he loved it. He doesnt listen to it enough in my opinion though. :/

Brilliant........2006-12-15

A completely worthwhile album; wide variety of stellar remixes. I really, really love this album, despite a couple of really bizarre and unlistenable tracks. And even the unlistenable tracks are really fascinating. RDJ is laughing himself silly right now, if he reads this, because he often pooh-poohs his own genius. He probably helped compose The Beauty of Being Numb Section B in 5 minutes on the crapper, and here I am calling it brilliant. He probably worked really hard on that mix and composed Time to Find Me with the whole crapper/5 minutes thing. Or not.

Either way, it's been, what, a couple of years now, and I still can't get enough of this album. Absolutely essential for Aphex Twin fans, and not a bad starter-kit for newbies either.

Thank you, may I have another?.......2005-12-24

More melodies would have been nice; I may make my own remixes of these songs (I'd just be adding more melodies) in order to make the music more satisfying :) As always, he delivers those tantalizing drum beats and creates a great c.d., but there just weren't any songs that amazed me. Expect an interesting set of songs, just don't expect them to be mind-blowing. Of course, that's my point of view, if you're new to this genre, this could be mind-blowing; when I first heard Karsten Pflum (who led me to check out Richard James) I was totally blown away.

26 Mixes For Cash.......2005-10-02

Ok I give little green papers and get this? What a deal! Depending on how you pay for this whether it be through a few small numbers (credit card), a $20 piece of paper, or 20 one dollar pieces of paper, you are getting a mighty fine deal.

Let me start off by saying Aphex Twin is not a thing of the past, because the music is classic. It has a certain beauty to it that sets it apart. Some of the tracks on "26 Mixes For Cash" have a greater track length than his previous material, which is a pretty darned good thing. This is because the majority of the tracks are quite trance-like, but not in a club-ish, repetitive sense. There is a sense of sameness throughout each track but it has great subtle variety which one would only notice after a few listens. There are interesting parts in each track which sound like they could be organically made through instrumental group but it is somehow all put together using computer electronics.

I would say his first recording, SAW 85-92, was his most important release, the Richard D. James album is his most defined of the crazy persona which is Aphex Twin, and this is his most trance-like, beautiful, polished, and expertly nob twiddled recording.

This recording is different than the other Aphex Twins in the sense that it is more digestible, because of its organic nature. It's sort of like a more recent version of Selected Ambient Works 85-92, except this one covers a greater variety of sounds and is more intricate. If you like electronic music then you will love this CD, no joke. This is a defining moment for electronic music and how far out the genre can reach, which is so diverse, at the same time slightly minimalistic, but not at any point is it uninteresting.

Basically you should own this CD, and I will put my foot down that if you do not love it, you need to try a different genre because you are cray-z. It is a very nice mix of techno, drill & bass, drum & bass, ambience, and electronic in extraordinary chilling beauty whether it be dark, sparse, or haunting bliss. This is a hard album to give highlights, and all the tracks have their own feel, making this one of the most impressive CDs I've heard yet.

Bleeps. Bloops. Kinda blah........2005-03-08

I bought this after hearing the remix of Gavin Bryars' "Sinking of the Titanic," (the original is a beautiful piece of music; the remix is cool, too). The rest of 26 Mixes, well....

Disc 1 is ok, but most of the tracks make their points early and then go on for too long. Disc 2 is, however, pretty lousy. Apparently, taking a tune, dicing it up and making it sound like basically a hard drive crashing is of interest to some folks. It's of interest to me, too .... briefly.

good remixes straight up!.......2007-06-26

i like paula abdul's shut up and dance because it has good remixes on it. my favorites are staght up, knocked out,cold hearted,forever your girl,one or the other,and the remix medley. you will like this remix album. i think randy,ryan,and simon will like it too. ed wilson

Upbeat, Lively Album, But How Would Randy And Simon Rate It?.......2007-03-20

I had heard "Cold Hearted" and "Straight Up" for a while before learning it was done by Paula.

Many of the other reviewers pointed out this is a good aerobic project. Allow me to mention what I noticed. There are eight cuts on it. The first seven are individual songs. The final one is a seven song medley which includes six of the seven songs already mentioned. ("One Or The Other" is not part of the medley, and is replaced by "State Of Attraction".)

If you want some good dance music, you would enjoy this.

this is a great mix! i use this as work out music..it gets the blood pumping..all the mixes are awesome... just shut up .and buy this it rocks!

I Love This Album.......2005-10-16

I've owned this collection of remixes for over 10 years and I still love to listen to it. Every song rocks. Now that her career has been revised by American Idol, I'm listening to it even more.

The Way A Remix Album Should Be.......2003-11-07

This is a masterpiece!!! Even though I actually first purchased this album in 1990 (13 years ago) It still sounds good in today's age - The remixes on this album are so tight using old school techniques that it gave new life to the #1 hits from Paula's Forever Your Girl Album - You can't find remixes like this anymore because in today's world, a remix just either involves a rapper adding his touch to the song or a club mix that just adds 5 mintues of extra music at the beginning of the it, and what's so genious about that - This remix album is the format artists should now be using -
