5.0 out of 5 stars RuPaul's ReWorked Retrospective, June 13, 2006

Instead of returning to the scene with a bland Greatest Hits album, RuPaul's reworked restrospective is a true rollicking romp of dance floor diversity. Refreshingly, a majority of the remixes on "RuPaul.Reworked" are right on point! Power DJs like Jr. Vasquez, Craig C, and Gomi among others, put thier talents to work, and succeed in re-envigorating RuPaul's catalog of music. The tracks "Coming Out of Hiding" (Trance Gender Mix), "Free To Be" (OranGe FuZzZ Emancipation Radio Mix), "Hollywood U.S.A." (Pigeon Forge Vocal), and the Jr. Vasquez remix of "WorkOut" deserve top billing.
You Betta ReWork!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Ruworked Mixes, June 19, 2006

This was billed as RuPaul's music catalogue remixed for the dance floor. Sadly, this set miss fires. First off, the only older material is "Supermodel" and "Free To Be." The rest of these songs are from her most recent album Red Hot. I was hoping for a much wider selection of Ru tunes. Where's "Snapshot," "Back To My Roots," and "R U Nasty"? The new songs are great, it's just that I liked the originals better.

Where as the original "Looking Good Feeling Gorgeous" is a high energy dance song, the remix is a bit more laid back. Not as intense or energetic. It's a problem that plagues the entire CD. Too bad, as the original songs are full of fun and energy and have much potential for amazing remixes. Also missing is the classic Ru humor. It only crops up in the new run through of Jackson family members on "Supermodel." It's a classic bit though, sure to make you laugh.

This CD is best enjoyed by the RuPal faithful. Red Hot has a better chance of meeting with mass appeal. Reworked makes for fun listening, but is not what I expected.

Yes--I agree! Where are the classic RuPaul tracks remixed? I would have loved to hear those babies pulled out of the past and reworked into the present. But alas...they are MIA. But in any case, "Reworked" is an outstanding album that reworks (like duh huh) RuPaul's latest offerings into heavier dance tracks. While some the mixes (for the singles off "Red Hot") have already been released in different formats, the new version of "Supermodel" is great. Again, after hearing that it would have been great to hear some more classic tracks remixed (I'm sure there were some legal issues regarding this choice). The new track "The Lonely" is great and fits right in with the club tracks presented in the album. Songs like "Just A Little In And Out" and "The Price Of One" outshine their unmixed counterparts. But where are "Kinky/Freaky" and the stunning gay love anthem "Love Is Love"? It's also fun to mention the art direction and package for the album. The RuPaul doll is gorgeous and the choice to feature the doll (albeit nude) against the stark white backgroud is hot. A great album from an amazing artist.
