This review is from: Keep on Moving: It's Too Funky in Here (Audio CD)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars An Interesting CD, April 17, 2001

This CD is quite interesting, I really like the remix of Bob Marley's Sun Is Shining, I Also think the Remix of Grace Jones' Pull Up To The Bumper is well done as well. However, The other remixes on here do not equal the intensity of the first 2 tracks. I enjoy Ring My Bell by Anita Wells but its all pretty much down hill from there. The other songs are average but they lack the ability to grab your attention like Sun Is Shining does. I do recomend this CD, It is a great departure from what we usually hear on the radio but It could be alot better.

5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU WANNA DANCE!! GET IT!!, June 18, 2001

I bought this album about a month ago (give or take a few weeks...everythings a blur) and I have to say that if you are in the mood to simply dance, you have to get this CD.

Their are some killer remixes on here. and I love the way 'Funkstar De Luxe' samples, well not only samples, re-does classic hits by Bob Marely, Grace Jones and Tom Jones.

Heed my advice, this is an awesome dance album with some killer grooves. If you want to dance, buy this CD!
