Good remixes (for a change) for a fair price September 1, 2005
chadwholovedme (Bristol, Uk)
'Jetstream' is the second single to be lifted from New Order's 'Waiting for the Siren's Call', an album which marked a return to the dance rhythms, synthesizers and keyboards of their past. Personally I find 'Jetstream' to be the weakest track on the new album. Even though there's a lot to love it comes off a bit bland, in a sort of Pet Shop Boys/Electronic kind of way. However this doesn't mean it is nothing a good remix can't fix, which is exactly what this CD does.
Jacques Le Cont remix is by far the best, taking only the bones of 'Jetstream' - odd considering he produced the album version under his other name; Stuart Price - looping a few lines while laying an up-tempo beat and an over the top epic keyboard line. Richard X'' take is a simpler affair. He extends the intro and adds lots of echo, but otherwise leaves the original mix alone. A nice change if nothing else. Tom Neville, on the other hand cuts almost everything back except the vocal. Sumner's voice is dropped a semitone or two, he adds a slow stomping beat, and sprinkles over some lovely bleeping noises. Arthur Baker - like Richard X - keeps it recognisable. He changes much of the keyboard lines to a distinctive riff it's also the most laid back of the four mixes.
Finally, for anyone who has forgotten what it usually sounds like, the album version turns up. As I wrote above it is alright a bit so-so. Gillian Gilbert's keyboard lines are noticeably lacking, the light tone would have been a good framework for her piano. Other than that misgiving, there is a nice guitar-break and Ana Matronic sounds more at ease with the attempted sexy groove than Sumner.
Still, five songs is not bad value for a CD. All are much better than the mixes produced for the 'Krafty' CD. Those mixes managed drain the life from the songs amazing cut up bassline in next to no time.
