Free Music Notes for Motown Remixed, Vol. 2
Free Music Review: Finally-Remixes That Really Make Sense
Hit: 5 Stars
Naturally when I first heard about the Motown Remixed project I was expecting yet another in a long line of remix albums featuring housy dance mixes.I was very enthusiastic to find the truth that a lot of respect was given to the Motor City classics on the first remix volume,which I heard but do not own.So needless to say I bought this.Vol.2 is a very different kind of musical affair-it takes songs like "Shotgun","Love Is Like A Heatwave","Don't Look Any Further" and even Diana Ross's disco hit "The Boss" and gives them a strong latin feel,complete with hot horns,salsa beats and in most cases alterations of the tempo.The original vocals,especially in the case of The Tempts "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" were sped up a bit to accomodate the quicker tempo-and this is a song covered by so many different people (and is usually done purely by rote to) over the years.The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" is the only song here that actually keeps some of the orginal music intact,just accentuating the drums and adding more horns.On the other side of the coin "Dancing Machine" is presented drastically reworked into a frantic dance-salsa tempo.Only Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It Through The Grape Vine" has any trace of a typical house oriented remix but it's done in such as different way one won't even notice.On the most interesing note Smokey's "Being With You" is presented in a spanish language version called "Aqui Con Tigo",which I have never heard before,adding to the latin and hispanic theme of these remixes.That flavor gives these remixes the party atmosphere that permeated classic Motown and actually goes with the feeling of these songs very well.For any fan or Motown,especially one also interested in latin rhythms,or anyone interested in great songs done in a great way this collection will definately brighten your day.
