Title: A few gems, but mostly uninspired techno remixes
Review: This album serves as a reminder of the importance of arrangement, and specifically, of Susan Wallace.I might be coming from a slightly biased perspective. I really enjoy Switchblade Symphony, so I might be somewhat less receptive. Also, I am not generally fond of dance/electronica. I'm sorry, but the same 4/4 drum pattern and two-measure synth loop gets old after five minutes.There are a few songs which I can stand on this album (Rampid and Clown), but my affection ends there. The rest seem horribly disjointed; we're not talking about a little forgivable mixplay, but rather an attrocity. Most of these songs sound like some raverboy added Tina's vocals to whatever bouncy-... electronica happened to be in his Casio's memory at the time. Not everything needs or warrents a full-blast drum machine assault, and not everything can be a dance song (at least not without some serious work).Granted it's hard as ... to match Susan's style, but this is a shame.
Is the review positive or negative?
