Free Music Review: Tori at her remixed best
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD single contains versions of three of my favorite Tori songs ever: Cruel, Raspberry Swirl, and Spark from the incredible From the Choirgirl Hotel album. It took me a few listens to truly appreciate Cruel as the wonderful song it is. The Shady Feline Mix of the song here actually sounds better than the original version, which I consider rather remarkable. I am just addicted to the song Raspberry Swirl. If any song could ever make my completely uncoordinated body get up and dance like there's no tomorrow, this is the song. The Lip Gloss Version sounds much like the original, with just enough of a change to keep things interesting. The Ambient Raspberry Swirl remix is quite different from the original song, but this is a departure from form that really appeals to me. I rarely like the repetitive nature of remixes, but this one incorporates so many new sounds and musical moods that I find it remarkably fresh and fascinating. It does not strike me as a dance remix by any means, though, because there are some significant, well-placed pauses that give the track a distinctively mysterious atmosphere. I also really enjoyed the Mainline Cherry (Ambient Spark) remix. Spark is Tori's most emotionally powerful song ever, and this remix manages to capture much of the depth, mystery, and quiet desperation of the original. It does sound as if many of the words are being sunk backwards, especially the chorus, but there are also snippets of the verses in varying completeness interspersed throughout the song. Overall, this is a great CD single worth much more than it costs. The featured remix of Cruel appeals to me more than the album version, the Lip Gloss Version of Raspberry Swirl is the same as yet intriguingly different from the original, and the more experimental remixes of Raspberry Swirl and Spark manage to convey Tori's uncontainable magic in an entirely new way. The icing on the cake is the cover image of Tori, which I find compelling in and of itself.
