...Tony: At least they could have had the Roots or someone like that remix the original theme. You know, take the wah-wah guitar and keyboard and build something contemporary over it. To simply run the original was a cop-out. It's a great song but these days it's also Bart Simpson's favorite karaoke tune and the stuff of cheesy Oscar-night entertainment...
...classic "You Spin Me Round" and New Wave classics from Information Society ("What's On Your Mind") and New Order ("True Faith") are great the first couple of times around. So is M/A/R/R/S' classic "Pump Up The Volume." Hip-hop makes an appearance in the form of a remix of Eric B. and Rakim's 1987 "Paid In Full." The album tries too hard, however, to capture the basic starkness of the film: the dark remixes of David Bowie and the Cure are wholly unpleasant, as is the new sliver of a song from Daniel Ash called "Trouble...
Primal Scream have always been a band preternaturally dependent upon their producer; their finest moment until now, 1991's _Screamadelica_ was as much Andrew Weatherall's achievement as their own. _Echo Dek_, Adrian Sherwood's remix album of _Vanishing Point_ was arguably better than the original. _Exterminator_, too, shines because of those assisting the band. Among those producing _Exterminator_ are, variously, the Chemical Brothers, David Holmes and Kevin Shields of My Bloody Valentine. It's a diverse mix, though it flows surprisingly well.

...apparently arrived late; fortunately, the warm-up DJ did a good job of entertaining the crowd, and the reception when the Armada took to the Karma stage was indulgent. Groove Armada lived up to expectations, opening their eclectic set with some Latin-influenced house tunes (including a tasty remix of Basement Jaxx's "Jump and Shout") before moving on to throw on some breakbeat tunes, some funk and even an old-school track from the Sugarhill Gang. True to the anything-with-a-beat-goes spirit of the night, Cato and Findlay goofed around on the live bass guitar...
...Phat Tuesday’s in Cancun was great until the DJ put on a remix of “Back that Ass Up.” The pumping rhythm induced a 350-pound woman to strip off her skirt and, in fact, back that ass up...directly into my face...
