I have to disagree with the above reviewer...I think the album is great. For starters, if you haven't heard the original version of the songs on 'Revisted', i suggest you check em out. Great songs, as is most of Cam's work. Secondly, the remixers selected for the album are all top notch. DJ Premier, Kid Loco, Theivery Corporation, etc...all cream of the crop...so what do you get when you put it all together...a pretty damn good album. It may not be as exciting as an album of fresh new tracks...but still a worthwhile collection...especially for Cam fans.

DJ Cam's album, REVISITED BY, gives a remix overview of his oeuvre thus far, except, curiously, for his first album, which many would argue is his best (not me, though; I'm a fan of INNERVISIONS). Even more oddly, tracks from his weakest album, THE BEAT ASSASSINATED, take up a good amount of space. "Success," remixed by Kenny Dope (straight-up hip-hop), Thievery Corporation (outernationalism) and Attica Blues (hip-hop funk), reflects more of the remixer than the original. Kid Loco goes stoned and mellow -- no surprise there! -- on the soul ballad "He's Gone," while DJ Vadim goes minimalistic on his hip-hop take of "Innervisions." Elsewhere, Flytronix gives "Innervisions" a drum 'n' bass rhythm that suddenly goes jazzy. Bob Sinclar, however, makes an unfortunate misstep on "Espionage," as is the additional rap on J Dilla's revision of "Love Junkee." But Demon steps in to claim the funky house crown with his take on "DJ Cam Sound System." And "Meera," a gorgeous track, goes down a dark, dark road with Extra Lucid at the helm, whereas 4 Hero/Tek 9 go smooth and downtempo. A collection as rich and interesting as DJ Cam's career itself.

i can't believe the name of lable that released this album is called "Recall". what a name. This CD is alriiiight....i don't think you should expect too much out of this. Voodoo Child was nothing new, just like the one on Soulshine. as a matter of fact, i never heard of voodoo child in Dj Cam's original version. Overall, if you are a fan of DJ Cam, it's worth it. but i must admit that i was disappointed a little. not his fault, since its remixes done by others.
But there are some phat remixes done by J Dilla, Kid Loco...
