Music reviews of Pavement Cracks The Remixes

Music Review: A Big Advance In Digital Technology...
Rating: 5 Stars

This song was a huge dance floor hit here in South Africa (especially Mac Quayle Mix & Scumfrog Mix). Both mixes were overexposed here in October 2003, Scumfrog's Mix was a chart-topping hit!. Absolutely Timeless!.

Also don't forget to pick up Annie's Best-Selling Album ''Bare''. I still cannot get over how excellent it sounds, all the remixes are first-quality and strictly dance, ranging from different types until the end, it slows down to the (Album Version).

Mac Quayle Extended Mix. You can easily tell that this is a Mac Quayle remix, since it possesses his unique dance formula, He has also done allot of (very exceptional) work for Madonna, especially when he collaborates with Victor Calderone. This Mix is more for radio friendly, but danceable, it is however more laid back.

Goldtrix Club Mix. This is more for underground play, since features beats that are more sophisticated, while her vocals have been reduced and reversed which actually sounds remarkable. This Mix definitely focuses on the beats other than the vocals, which echoingly take place every now and then.

Scumfrog Club Mix. This is by far the best mix here, as it is one of Scumfrog's most flawless mixes ever. This mix is more dominating with virtually incredible house beats. It definitely happens to hold the more serious side of House, containing the immense stomping touch to it.

Gabriel & Dresden Club Mix. This is a enhanced version of the original, which builds up to lightly based techno, the lines ''Love don't show in the pavement cracks, aha, There will be no turning back, aha'' accompany the build-up when her vocals finally break through with ''How come every day, I'm still waiting for the change?, How come I still say, Give me strength to live?...then as the ''to Live'' vocal part turns into a effect that mourns continuously.

Scumfrog Knob Dub. This is a dub, in the same immense stomping- sense of the term. Really no other remixes of Annie Lennox's that can be compared to both Scumfrog's mixes of this song.

Shanghai Surprise Vocal Mix. This mix sounds allot the Mac Quayle mix, but it features darker beats and better vocal range, Annie's voice sounds very refreshing. This is also more for radio play, well it dominates semi-house beats, the kind of beats producer/Dj Todd Terry comes up with.

Original Version/Album Version. To me the album version is poor in comparison to the remixes, since they are one of the best remixes I've heard. On it's own (by merit) the original is a good song.

Annie Lennox sure makes one hell of a advance in digital technology, and this CD is a testament to that!.
