This album is all your favourite GaGa songs revved up into a dance mix - you'll love it more than the originals! Highly recommended.

Here's one little statistic to kick us off.
A quick look at You-Thingy, a popular video posting
website, reveals that the cinematic representation of
Lady GaGa's highly popular single 'Bad Romance' has
clocked 203,416,574 hits (that's TWO HUNDRED AND THREE
MILLION, FOUR HUNDRED AND SIXTEEEN THOUSAND, FIVE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY FOUR hits!!!) since it was first posted.
That's a lot of interest in one song by my reckoning.
Whether or not you've bought into the phenomenon there can
be little doubt that Ms Germanotta looks set to be staying
around for more than the prescribed fifteen minutes that
Dame Fame allegedly allocates to each of us.
'The Remix' is a generous collection of seventeen mutations
of the songs that have rampaged around the globe, stomping
roughshod across anything or anyone which has come in their way.
There are sixteen remixes and a voice and piano rendition of
her fine composition 'Poker Face', captured live in performance
at The Cherry Tree House.
A few pals drop in to join the fun from time to time.
Marilyn Manson leaves his dark hole in the ground to
join the party on the rumbustious Chew Fu Ghettohouse Fix
mix of 'LoveGame'. He croaks and screeches dutifully from his
perch in the corner of the studio. It's an absolute hoot!
Robots To Mars engagement with the same number strips the
arrangement back to barer boards and reveals the stark
beauty of the melody and clever harmonies.
Ashking, Wedis, Lush and Young Thoro add highly addictive soulful
urban interjections to the Deewan treatment of 'Just Dance'.
The Manhattan Clique's take on 'Boys Boys Boys' elevates one
of Madame GaGa's weaker creative endeavours to a whole new level
entirely. If this version hasn't already set dancefloors ablaze
in discerning nightclubs across the globe then it is bound to be
visiting a venue near you very soon. A fairly ordinary pop song
is transformed into a big bad disco anthem which it is quite
impossible to sit still to!
Both Frankmuzik and The Pet Shop Boys grapple with 'Eh Eh' in
satisfyingly different ways. The former nearly splits apart with
marvellous dark energy, the latter has a lighter (but no less
tantalizing) touch as befits Messrs Tennant and Lowe's distinctively
masterful sonic management. Two for the price of one!
The darkly sensuous Grum remix of 'Bad Romance' will blow your socks off !!
The Lady has her detractors. Of this there can be no doubt.
For those of us, however, who have been quite happy to walk through
the portals of The Haus Of GaGa with an open heart and mind there
can be no looking back and no regrets. 'The Remix' is a total BLAST!!
Highly Recommended.

It's ironic that this is the cover artwork for Gaga's inevitable mutation-album "The Remix"; this "artful" cover art-version (which is only used in the UK, US and Poland) replaces a nude Lady Gaga covered in warning-stickers (when the songs presented here are in fact uncensored and her actual album Fame Monster -Deluxe-, has removed words like b**ch). I think it's a shame we have to be so prude these days, she's not even using the f-word (and they could've slapped one of those atrocious warning labels on there). But on the subject of this album, this "lame" version is actually nicer to look at, and in my opinion a better representation of Lady Gaga.
Most of these remixes are forgetful at best, they deliver exactly what you'll expect; a different bass-hook on "Just Dance (Richard Vission Remix)", "Poker Face (LLG vs GLG Radio Mix Remix)" and "LoveGame (Chew Fu Ghettohouse Fix)" does not a new song make. If you're a DJ you can throw them out on the dancefloor and they will serve their purpose just fine; if you're having a big house party they'll keep the place thumping. But if you like to listen to your albums in private, maybe they're better suited for jogging sessions or all-nighters. "Alejandro (Sound Of Arrows Remix)" has some serious pacing issues in my opinion; that song's particular tempo and vocal delivery is not suited for an up-beat remix.
But there's hope! The best bits of this album are actually a really good complement to Gaga's "real" albums; "Paparazzi (Stuart Price Remix)" is an addictive and subtle remix, it lifts out and focuses on the vocals (while perhaps pitching them half an octave higher?), and that works in a beautiful way, paving a newfound respect for a song that was always good but never "wow". That's what a good remix ought to do; make people stop in their tracks and think "Wait, something's slightly different, but I can't quite put my finger on it". "LoveGame (Robots To Mars Remix)" is the most delightful surprise; a slow and super-mellow take on one of Gaga's sexiest and most blood-rousing dancefloor anthems. It'll give you a nice moment to breathe (even if the "disco stick"-lyric stands out like a sore thumb). "Eh Eh (Nothing Else I Can Say) (Frankmuzik Remix)" does the exact opposite; takes a pretty pop song and turns it into a dark and powerful dance-rouser (with mixed results). And "Boys Boys Boys (Manhattan Clique Remix)" is a beautiful background-theme of sorts; it would just work much better as an instrumental without the chorus interrupting.
"Poker Face (Piano & Voice Version Live At The Cherrytree House Sessions)" is a nice way of showing Gaga's diversity as an artist; how she skews and transforms her songs with every live performance, but its inclusion on this album is a bit pointless (since there's already a Cherrytree Sessions), and it breaks the flow faster than you can say "skip-button". I also find it funny how long she lingers on the "I'm marvelous"-part of it!
Overall, this is clearly for the hardcore little monsters out there, but I just happened to love the two great remixes ("Stuart Price" and "Robots To Mars") so much that I had to add this to my collection. This is a far better choice if you're looking for something to keep a constant tempo though.
