Various - Vibrate Remixed

Review by Tony Murray

Vibrate Remixed is an album that showcases several artists' interpretations of Rufus Wainwright's album Vibrate. The remixed tracks feature a variety of genres, including electronic, dance, and ambient, and each artist brings their own unique style to the songs.

The album opens with a remix of "Bitter Tears" by producer Brad Walsh, which transforms the song into a pulsing dance track that builds to an explosive climax. Other standout tracks include "Candles" remixed by DJ Mark Ronson, which adds a funky bassline and catchy percussion to the gentle ballad, and "Respectable Dive" remixed by UNKLE, which turns the song into a brooding, atmospheric piece.

Summary by Tony Murray

While some of the remixes are more successful than others, overall, Vibrate Remixed is a cohesive and enjoyable album. The remixes breathe new life into Rufus Wainwright's songs, and fans of electronic and dance music will appreciate the fresh takes on his music.
