Music reviews of You Can Dance
Music Review: Complete Nonsense.
Rating: 2 Stars
So There's three dub mixes, Three remixes and two original songs without any mixing at all. If a collection of remixes and dubs are going to be released then lets just go full force and release all the party tracks and make this a cut we wont forget.
There are other songs in her catalog that fit the theme of this record, So why aren't they on here?. I can name three Madonna songs right off the back that should've been rearranged to go in place of those dubs or unecessary tracks. Perhaps, A 1987 mix of "Lucky Star", An official "Holiday" remix, One that we can actually "tell" is a remix, And an "Into The Groove" remix.
"Into The Groove" and "Physical Attraction" have no mixes, What's that about?. Isn't the purpose of this release to give us something different? So why am I repurchasing the exact same songs "Over and Over" again? (get it?). I have these versions of these songs on the original albums and Madonna Collections.
What makes it worst is that there's an extended version of "Over and Over", The same sound just extended. So What's the point? The release of this collection was a chance we had to get a NEW sound for a fun song and we missed it because the creaters were careless. Oh, I get it, We can dance longer.
The even bigger disappointment is that the leading track "Spotlight" has no mixes. There should be atleast 4 mixes of that track at the end of the album considering it's the lead single. We should have "Spotlight" original mix at the beginning (which we already have). Then the last four tracks of the album should be "Spotlight" Dub version, "Spotlight" Extended mix, "Spotlight" Remix, And some other type of exotic "Spotlight" mix, All grouped one after the next.
Judging by the song choices for this release, All the songs that were chosen for the tracklisting have a certain beat and rhythm. For example "Spotlight" "Holiday" "Everybody" and "Into The Groove" all share the same tempo. Therefore, "Burning Up" or "Angel" wouldn't fit in which is debatable because "Over and Over" is at a slightly faster pace than the rest of the songs, But "Lucky Star" shares the same tempo as the others and is the only party track from the debut that doesn't appear and it would fit perfectly on "You Can Dance", So where is it? We have the other three from the debut album but not the most memorable hit from it. So why not a fabulous remix of "Lucky Star".
"Holiday" claims to be a remix but I hear no difference. It's the same song all over again in my opinion, I'm sure there's a small difference in the beginning but nothing drastic that anyone has time to pick up on. The "Everybody"(remix) is not as good as the original in my opinion, I prefer the original, Funny huh?. The only song that I prefer the original to, has a remix. Great ;)
"Where's The Party"(Remix) is so much better than the album version in my opinion. It's smoother, It has a more distinct bassline and it's just all around groovier. Had all the songs been mixed with the same flavor as "Where's The Party" then this album or EP would sparkle and shine.
"Spotlight", The leading single, Is another great reason to purchase this album, But since it's 2010 just get your $1 out and purchase the song. I just wish all the songs were mixed in the same manner as "Where's The Party", A much smoother and concentrated sound.
Surprisingly as big as Madonna is, It's a mystery why she doesn't have an official remix album for her high quality dance songs because this sure ain't it. Nice try but "You Can Dance" was thrown together and not much thought was put into what was being chosen. If this record was thought out then "Into The Groove", "Physical Attraction", and "Spotlight" would be remixed. "Lucky Star" would've made the tracklist since the other dance tracks from the debut made it. "Holiday" remix would be distinguishable from the album version, And "Over And Over" would have an actual remix as opposed to a normal version that's extended.
Lastly, "Into The Groove" and "Holiday" have dub versions, But "Where's The Party" is the only one of the three that has a remix?. Then "Everybody" has a remix but not a dub version and "Spotlight" and "Physical Attraction" have no mixes at all. This release is pure non-sense, Darling. Two stars for "Where's The Party" remix and the NEW song "Spotlight" although it has no mixes. Child please.
Description of You Can Dance
The first ever remix album, Madonna put together this collection following her smash 1987 Who's That Girl World Tour to give fans something to have while she was on hiatus. This mixed-sequenced album includes such 80's classics as ''Into The Groove'', ''Everybody'', and ''Holiday'', as well as fan favorites ''Over And Over'' and ''Where's The Party'' remixed and ready for the dancefloors. This album also includes the track ''Spotlight'', which was released only in Japan as a single. CD case w/ obi strip. Sire/Warner Brothers.You can dance and you probably will if you put on this 1987 compilation of the material girl's best jams. The eight-and-a-half minute "Into the Groove," remixed by Shep Pettibone, may be Madonna's single best tune and it's sure to fill the dance floor. There are only 10 tracks here, and a couple of songs get multiple remixes, but you do get "Holiday" and "Everybody," lesser known but not lesser grooves. Madonna had a few dance hits after this collection came out, and one day they'll most likely be a Madonna dance box set, but until then this will give you a fine aerobic workout. --Charles R. Cross
