Only six months after the third volume of Verve Remixed was released, Verve issued this, a box combining the three volumes of the series with an additional disc of extra remixes and three videos. If you have the first three volumes, there's not much motivation to swap them in exchange for this package, as the bonus disc does little to enhance the series. A few of the selections on the disc are merely extended remixes of tracks that can be found on the three volumes proper, and Michael Reinboth's shot at Cal Tjader's "Los Banditos" is the only inspired new cut. (Other previously unreleased remixes come from Diplo, Carl Craig, and Raw Deal.) This was an audacious undertaking on the part of the label and those who were tapped to provide the updates. Unfortunately, the possibilities imagined with the very thought of the usually smart pairings -- Billie Holiday and Tricky, Billie Holiday and Junior Boys, Jimmy Smith and Lyrics Born, Willie Bobo and Dan the Automator -- often outweigh the results. If you balked at picking up the discs when they were originally issued and remain curious, your procrastination has paid off. The set is reasonably priced, cheaper than volumes one through three combined, and the foldout packaging is compact and reproduces the artwork from the individual volumes. ~ Andy Kellman The remix phenomenon--the business of having a DJ treat and transform a pre-existing song, usually adding a web of electronic beats and effects--has become an industry and genre unto itself. Like a lot of club-oriented dance music, however, remixes can get tiring, lifeless, and repetitious, and many remix projects aren't even worth the time it takes to listen to them. The VERVE REMIXED series, collected here in this deluxe, four-disc set, is an exception to that rule. If the novice were to pick one set to represent the comprehensive possibilities of the remix idea, this would probably be it. To begin with, the guest remixers are working with some of the highest-caliber work ever laid to wax. With the likes of Nina Simone, Dizzy Gillespie, Sarah Vaughan, Jimmy Smith, Billy Holiday, and Astrud Gilberto as a starting point, it's hard to go wrong. But the other half of the equation is equally winning. Most of the top names in DJ/electronic music--including Tricky, Thievery Corporation, Richard Dorfmeister, Dan the Automator, Postal Service, and Danger Mouse--offer their skills. Old-school jazz purists and listeners indifferent to extended dance grooves are unlikely to be converted, but for fans of the genre, it is hard to better this rich, varied, endlessly absorbing set.   Technical Info Release Date : 11/01/2005 Original Release Date : 2005 Catalog ID : 5434 Label : Verve (USA) Number of Discs : 4 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00602498853153    Product Image
