Stevie Nicks timeless classic, turned into hip hit,
By Chris McLeod ""Never have I been a blue c... (Locust Grove, GA. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stand Back (Audio CD)
"Stand Back" is easily one of Stevie Nicks' most recognizable and popular songs. When it was first released back in 1983, it went to #5 on the Pop Charts. Now, nearly 25 years later in 2007 the dance remix reached #2 on the Dance/Club Play Charts. This simply proves the timelessness of Stevie's voice. One thing evident when listening to these remixes is that voice, is what makes the tracks. Sure the beats are cool, but Tracy Young and others have managed to mold Stevie's voice around the tracks, using effects and other techniques. Some vocals that were buried in the original "Stand Back" single/album cut, shine here, that I personally never even knew were there. The same thing was done to a cut from Stevie's 2001 solo album "Trouble in Shangri-La," a song called "Planets of the Universe" (Which was eventually nominated for a Grammy Award). Tracy Young was involved in those remixes as well.
This is a must have for all Stevie Nicks fans, as well as fans of Dance/Club music in general. I found myself dancing around in my car listening to this CD on the way home from work tonight. Stevie Nicks' power as a vocalist and songwriter is not limited to ballads and full-fledged rock songs, as we see here---you can also DANCE TO HER!

Great For the Stevie Collector,
This review is from: Stand Back (Audio CD)
I have to agree with other recent reviews. After 70 min of the same song with remixes that all sound a like, it gets a tad boring.
HOWEVER, if you love Stevie like myself and many others, you need this single. It's only a limited edition maxi-single, apparently they're only pressing 1000 copies so scoop it up if you can. As for the remixes, I'm not really impressed. Radio edits should have been included or even remixes of other Stevie classics. I try not to complain much about any Stevie merchendise. So if your a Nicks fan or Dance fan, or both than jump on this cd. *Remember, it's limited edition*

Great if you like techno dance tracks,

Huge Stevie fan, not a fan at all of today's dance music. However this being a Stevie related release it's essential to anyone's Nicks collection. To me these tracks all sound identical and I can't see anyone playing these over and over. Gone are the days of the 12" remix like they did in the 80's, THOSE I could get into. The remixes here are just very mechanical sounding. On some of them Stevie's original track almost seems to be thrown in as an afterthought. What makes this one a must have is it's already become tough to find. If you see it, pick it up, you most likely won't see it again. I have every Stevie single released going back to the "Buckingham Nicks" days, if you're like me, you want this too. And if you're like me, you'll give a spin once and then put it away. Of course if you like this type of music, you will probably love it.
