Amazon.com

Subtlety does not exist in Fatboy Slim's world. The no-nonsense king of big beat has a job to do: get the party started right. The relentless musical hook is at the center of Greatest Remixes. Reggae and ska rhythms ("Magic Carpet Ride," "Get Up! Go Insane!"), R&B lines ("The World's Made Up of This and That," "What Is Kahuna?"), and acid-synth ("Roll the Dice") are all just grist for the groove mill. "Dubby Jointy" is the disc's wildest track. Backwards tape whooshes, a screaming guitar lick, and a crazed, creepy vocal part coalesce into an inspired version. The album's closer, a remix of "E.V.A." by Jean Jacques Perrey surprises. Fatboy knows enough not to mess too much with the 30-year-old song. The original--funky, loungy, and spacy--could have been recorded last week. --Fred Cisterna

3 out of 5 stars Yo check it out.......2001-04-06

Big beat brashness, funky disco and dopey sounds that test the capacity of your listening pleasure, even insane in the membrane people I suppose. This CD indicates a non-stop party must be going on in Fatboyslims magical mixing mind. "Mighty Dub Katz" is about as clever as it gets for a meshing of sound that is Cypress Hill meets the rude boyz. "Psychedeliasmith" is out there but fits nicely into the concrete jungle landscape, a heady blend of synths and loops. There are a few turkeys too. "Roll the Dice" does just that, I think it came up snake eyes.Sometimes repetition becomes just that, repetitive. On the flip side it works sometimes like on the standout "Deeds Plus Thoughts," nothing to think about here just enjoy the mad master mixer at work. There are plenty of non stop grooves but what fascinates is that one person can orchestrate and manipulate all the diverse and seemingly unrelated sounds into one coherent package. Not my favorite Fatboyslim CD but solid nonetheless. It is easy to see why he one of the most recognizeable mixers of all the gazillion out there. Recommended in small quanities unless you have a high tolerance for pain in the membrane.

4 out of 5 stars Average, but 3 tracks here are great.......2001-01-18

Most of this disc is mediocre. Fatboy Slim gives us a lot of mixes that are pretty good but not anything special, and when there's this many, we see the limitations in his style. However, three songs are simply incredible and really must be heard: Wildchild's "Renegade Master", Christopher Just's "I'm A Disco Dancer", and Underworld's "King of Snake". They all follow the Fatboy formula, but it seems like he does a much better job. These three are moments worthy of his best original productions. So this may not be a necessary purchase, but there are some great parts to it.

4 out of 5 stars Definately an "easy listen".......2000-05-09

As an avid Fatboy Slim fan, I can say that this CD isn't in the same style as his past couple CDs, but it's actually a little more laid back for an easy listen. It has some upbeat songs, and some smooth, almost instrumental songs. All in all, it makes a good driving CD or casual listening CD. I'm glad I bought it.

2 out of 5 stars If you like The Beastie Boys . . ........2000-05-09

OK, I am not a big Beastie Boys fan, and this album ("Greatest" Remixes) reminds me of their style - loud, brash, unmelodic, hardcore. I couldn't listen to two tracks in a row without popping out the CD. I would've given this CD only one star, but I realize that it might be suitable for some people who liked that "Insane in the Membrane" sound I thought we got rid of a few years ago. As a note, I do have and enjoy "The Norman Cook/Fatboy Collection" and "Live from the Big Beat Boutique." Both of those CDs have some variety. This one is just loud and brash all the way through.

2 out of 5 stars One of a long line of rehashes.......2000-05-01

I can't see anyone justify these as his greatest anything. His studio work clearly outshines most of the mixes here. There are no fewer than three Fatboy Slim collections released in the last year, including this one and Hip-O Records' "Fatboy Slim/Norman Cook Collection". Both strike me as minor-label attempts to make a quick buck on a big star. If you want a primer, get Better Living Through Technology. If you want a greatest-hits album, wait until he compiles one, rather than settling for this.

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding - The music of a true musical genius.......1999-10-06

In the first CD of the four volume "Signature" series, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan manages to weave together delicacy, introspection and musical genius into all three tracks. Chandranandan, is the most beautiful of all three tracks, which begins slowly and delicately, gently working its way towards an amazing culmination where melody and rhythm flow together seamlessly into an astounding and frenetic conclusion - an ending reminiscent of the startling beauty of a full moon night, to which the title owes its name. If there is one CD in the world you'll ever own, it should be this one.

5 out of 5 stars One of the definative sarod records.......1999-05-28

Ustad Ali Akbar Khan is one of the all time sarod legends. This four disc series makes it incredibly obvious why. If I could only have one set of Hindustani recordings, these four discs would be the ones. I just can't bring myself to rate any of them less than 5 stars. Get them all, you won't be sorry.

4 out of 5 stars Very serious Hindustani classical music........1999-04-29

Definitely four or five star. One of Ustad Ali Akbar's Khans finest music. In this series, Vol 3 (esp. Raga Mallika) is the best. Another CD that I would recommend is Ragas Ravi Shankar, Ali Akbar Khan.

          Back in 1963 Readers Digest issued a Christmas album that blasted every other Christmas record out of the water. And I mean blasted. With spectacular arrangements by Charles Gerhardt, the 4 record set covered traditional carols, popular Christmas songs arranged into a sparkling orchestral suite, a selection of ten German carols as well as ten French carols, a suite of carols arranged for Brass, organ and carillon, and collection of highlights from Handel's MESSIAH. Four (4) Lp records for $7.99 ($1 more if you wanted stereo.) The album was titled JOYOUS MUSIC FOR CHRISTMAS TIME, and indeed it was a joyous album from first to last.

          This album eventually sold over a million copies and can still be found for sale in used record stores and on E-bay - usually the copies are well worn from having been played so often.

          Sadly RD has not seen fit to transfer the entire program to CD.

          Instead collectors must track down the material scattered over several CD's released by RD and some released by Sony Music Special Products.

          This CD presents the original opening and closing tracks from the album ("Joy to The World" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing") both introduced by a spectacular fanfare that helps bookend the collection. (Of course originally if you played through all 4 LPs the bookend would be nearly 3 hours apart!)

          There is also a Volume Two of this disc available separately containg several more tracks from the original album.

          The tracks here from the original collection include the opening two selections ("Joy To The World"; "O Little Town of Bethlehem") and the final two ("It Came Upon a Midnight clear" and "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.") These are all spectacular!

          The rest of the disc is variable. There are other digest tracks featuring The Ambosian Singers ("O Christmas Tree", "What Child is This?" and "Silent Night" although the last track is mis-identified: It is listed as being performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and Chorus conducted by Peter Knight. Though Knight DID record this carol, the version here is by The Ambrosian Singers.)

          The rest of the disc ranges from pleasant ("Ding Dong Merrily on High", "The First Noel") to tracks that are just in the wrong style for this collection (Lynn Anderson's "White Christmas", The Stylistics' "Sweet Little Jesus Boy") to downright awful (ANY track by the Fireside Singers!)

          5 out of 5 stars In the Mood for Love?.......2004-02-26

          This CD of 14 romantic standards played by a lush string section with full orchestra sure helped my love life. And it's also really relaxing too if you're not in the mood...if you know what I mean. A companion CD to Romantic Piano, Heart of Country and Romancing the Screen, all released recently by Reader's Digest Music. High quality stuff if you like this kind of thing--and I did!
