In late 2010, Daft Punk released their score to the movie TRON: Legacy. Now comes TRON: Legacy R3CONFIGUR3D, which features artists like M83, Photek, Moby, Com Truise, and others reworking Daft Punk's tracks from the score. For Tron fans and electronic music dance enthusiasts alike. Enjoy. End of Line.
The original double-LP version of this compilation was one of the most generous in the Bee Gees' catalog, assembling 20 of their biggest disco-era hits and most important album tracks in one place, all while the disco boom was still alive in a lot of places. The expanded Reprise double-CD edition of this collection, released in September of 2007, boosts the original compilation's running time by more than 30 minutes, most of the latter made up of remixes and alternate mixes of established hits, such as a 12" promo version and a Teddybears remix of "Stayin' Alive," a Jason Bentley/Philip Steir remix of "You Should Be Dancing," a Count De Money remix of "If I Can't Have You," a Future Funk Squad remix of "Night Fever," and a Supreme Beings of Leisure remix of "How Deep Is Your Love." There's also one previously unissued track, "Warm Ride," without a word of mention about when or where it came from – in its defense, it's as good a song as anything the Bee Gees actually released in the second half of the '70s.
My first Caesar’s Palace encounter was back in 1998. The single "Sort It out" had a sudden impact on me, initially not for its greatness, but due to the fact that it was totally different from everything else. Rock’n’roll, pop, psychedelica, punk, dub and electronics all at the same time, with a vague retro shimmer embedded. It may sound like total music chaos, but it sounds logical, like a new nameless genre being born. "Cherry Kicks" continues where the last album, "Youth Is Wasted on the Young", began. It’s maybe a bit more pure pop now, but still very catchy and likable.
