Funky video.......2001-09-20

Personally, I don't like the 'Star 69' song at all, but that said I thought that some of these mixes were better than the original version.
However, the beauty of this CD is not in the Star 69 remixes, but in the video of 'Weapon of Choice', starring Christopher Walken and directed by Spike Jonze. This video has received a huge amount of airplay and acclaim, so it was great to have my own copy to play at my own convenience, even if I am limited to playing it on my computer. I love the funky dancing and Walken just has the perfect demeanour, facial expression and great moves for this clip.
So - if you're going to buy this CD just for the music, I would give it just one star, but the official 5 star rating I gave it reflects just how much I think of this video.

The Timo Maas Mix is based around a boring piano sample, and sounds like some kind of after-hours house music. Pieces of the male vocal sample, including the profanity, have been replaced by synth noises, and aren't even missed.

X-Press 2 Wine 'Em, Dine 'Em, 69 'Em Mix. What a mouthful (forgive the pun). X-Press 2 Dub might have been a more suitable name, as this is practically a dub. The uncensored vocals are cut up and triggered in a stilted, spazzy sort of way. But the beat cruises along with good inertia, and there is even a surprising little build. This dub/remix is the best track on the CD, but still is not likely to have much appeal beyond DJs and a minimalism-craving subset of clubbers.

The DJ Godfather Detroit Getto-Tek Mix is really goofy. It's about as cheesy as a tek-step drum machine beat backed by a strobing discotheque bassline and a liberal serving of the infamous "wtf" sample can be. Kids, avoid this and stay in school.

frankie say remix...again.......2001-08-09

Right on schedule, somebody remixed "Relax" yet again and the results are pretty damn sexy, which is appropriate given the song's subject matter. The track listing is as follows:

1. Peter Rauhofer's Doomsday Radio Mix. Rauhofer is a world class DJ who used to do a lot of remixing under the moniker Club 69. This mix is an edit of the club mix and just distills the basic elements of that down to a radio-friendly 4.5 minutes.

2. Peter Rauhofer's Doomsday Club Mix. This is around 10 minutes of throbbing, banging, club-ready Frankie. Rauhofer uses a great many of the lyrics from the original mix and the effect of the entire mix is fantastically dark and sexy. To make it club compatible for 2001, things are speeded up a bit but not obnoxiously so. The production is spare but isn't lacking at all.

3. Saeed & Palash Addictive Journey. This mix is a little more straight-ahead dance. Lyrical use is minimal and there are elements of trance. Clocks in at nearly eleven minutes

4. Cold Cut Remix. This mix is amusing because it embellishes the original lyrics with snippets of spoken word type stuff that pertains to not relaxing. There's scratching, vocoder robot stuff and big bombastic drum noise. It definitely has the feel of an eighties era production. Not blatantly danceable.

5. Peter Rauhofer's Doomsday Dub. You know what a dub is, right? Rauhofer strips out most of the vocals and leaves you with the dark, subversive beats of the club mix (track 2). There's enough of the original in the song that you'll know what you're listening to.

6. Original New York 12" Mix. Score! Anytime a remix CD is created for an old song like this it only makes sense that the best known original remix be included and that's what this is. This one is just like the original single but has been stretched out to a more dance friendly length which is what eighties mixes are all about. If nothing else, it will let you see how far the art of the remix has travelled.

7. Original Radio Mix. Bless the record company for this inclusion. Here you have the original 3.5 minutes of Trevor Horn -produced eighties era pop, a song that spawned a sizable degree of hysteria in the UK and had new wavers and the like in America dancing along as well. Frankie say relax.

Come!
