Um...Well..., December 26, 2002
This review is from: Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy (Audio CD)
What can I say about this CD? Actually, I have a ton of things to say, but they don't allow words like that here. It's a shame that they don't negative ratings to choose from. I really like Faster Pussycat, and I THOUGHT I was buying a greatest hits CD...boy, was I wrong! Instead, what I got was a bunch of remixed songs, totally redone with synthesizers...even the voices were synthesized. In my opinion, these songs sound like a retarded robot is singing for a space-station dance club, and all the patrons need to be on a space drug to enjoy them. Remember KISS's "I Was Made For Loving You"? It already sounded like a dance tune, right? They even slaughtered this song! I only wish I had Real Player installed so I could have been able to hear samples from this CD. The ONLY positive thing on this CD is the unreleased demo "Blood." This song actually sounds like Faster Pussycat, and not some whacked-out space-alien punk/disco/dance/whatever that the rest of the songs sound like. If you want something different, then this CD is for you...if you're looking for their greatest hits CD (as I was), then DON'T buy this!

Pussycat Re-Mixed: Very cool, July 18, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy (Audio CD)
If you have been following Taime with the Newlydeads, you will find this CD really fun. Old FP songs re-done in the contemporary Newlydeads sound. This is not a greatest hits album, it is a remix album. Don't be surprised that the songs sound nothing like the 80's glam era anthems. A few of the songs were no longer recognizable, so even unindustrialized I prefer, or at least am conditioned to like the originals. As with his Newlydeads albums, Taime has his hands all over this project. From the cover art to the music itself. There is even a disco classic covered for good measure!

TAKE THE PLUNGE BETWEEN THE VALLEY!, July 19, 2001
This review is from: Between the Valley of the Ultra Pussy (Audio CD)
Yes, although this album is Techno remix's of some great Faster jams. it is worth the buy. i just got to see them live and the Cat is better than ever. some people can't live without the same old tired version of "Bathroom Wall", but this version breathes new life into the glam classic. To my fellow reviewers take another listen, the album isn't like the rest of the silly Cleopatra remix albums. Taime really learned something from his tenure in the almighty Pigface. it's got twists and turns that you haven't heard yet. QUITE SIMPLY, LET GO OF THE EIGHTIES! LIVE IN THE NOW! FASTER FOREVER!
