Rating:  - a couple of standout remixes make this a keeper for dance music fans
while most of the tracks on the original CD are actually more synth/dance retro 80s than the remixes, the master works of Thin White Duke and Tommie Sunshine, the guys who have perfectly infused dance and alt rock numerous times, make this worth the purchase. The dance mixes by Jagz Kooner, Mojolators, and Junior Sanchez just don't have enough of that new waev sound to live up to the stylings of the band's originals. And all the remaining mixes are downtempo clunkers if your buying this disc for ... Read More
Rating:  - More Harm Than Good
This album disappointed me greatly. I felt that each remix detracted from the original. I think a remix should either improve on the original or transform the original into something new and captivating, which is just not happening on this album. The one exception is "Posed To Death" (remix by The Calculators). The interweaving male and female vocals complement eachother beautifully. Unfortunately, the rest of the album is monotonous, shallow and poorly composed.
Rating: - Worth checking out...
Don't go by the negative reviews from the others. This is a definitely a great remix set from The Faint from their Danse Macabre album of a couple of years ago. All of the remixes are top notch with my favorite being Glass Danse remixed by Paul Oakenfold. The Conductor remixed by Thin White Duke is another wonderful remix taking the original and making it very club friendly. My other 2 favorite remixes on here are Agenda Suicide by Jagz Kooner and Your Retro Career by Ursula 1000. Overall though every ... Read More
Rating: - Speaks More About The Faint Than People Care To Admit
I have to start out by saying I am in staunch disagreement with the majority of feedback this album is getting; however, I am not passionate enough in my great disagreement to feel I have a real cause defending this album. So I'm going to simply give you my take, without getting emotional, as I cannot help getting over say, an actual Faint album, or the likes of a new Interpol release... I think what has happened with the Danse Macabre Remixes is a common syndrome that sweeps over listeners for many albums, ... Read More
Rating: - More Bang for the Buck
Danse Macabre was a great cd but the remixes just had more zing if you're into pushing your subs to their fullest. It's more of an ear candy release. It's like.. "lets take the Faint and turn the songs into something that would be a good soundtrack for a nightclub scene in some action flick". Danse Macabre is more for my indoor listening pleasure and the remixes are for the car when I like to rattle windows as I drive by. Just two different ways to enjoy the Faint.
