Details: Amazon.ca Brought back into the saddle by her collaboration with the Propellerheads for the memorable "History Reapeating", the diva on Her Majesty's Secret Service here entrusts her repertoire to the skilled hands of the "younger generation". In addition to the above-mentioned group which returns the service by remodeling the theme of "Goldfinger", we will find in the credits of this compilation some big names such as Kenny Dope, Mantronix, Groove Armada or Nightmares On Wax. Here, even more than elsewhere, the exercise of the remix is ​​perilous and those who have gone behind the console have opted for a facelift rather than a redesign, thus preserving all the orchestral substance of these legendary pieces whose appearance they reinforce. rhythmic. As such, the version delivered by the great Kenny Dope of the cover of "Light My Fire" is very strong. From time to time, the artists present dare to go further, like Mantronix who injects electro sounds on "Diamonds Are Forever"... with the same success, with one exception: the designers of this collection could have done without the cheap trance version of "If You Go Away" ("Ne me quitte pas" in Belgian). Overall, Shirley Bassey's vocals were either left untouched or just layered with a few effects. It would have been sacrilege to touch it more. An organ to die for in a revived musical setting, this is a great idea that has become hands down a reality. -- Fabrice Courdan Product Description A unique return to the catalog of Europe's preeminent Diva. Thanks to her success with the Propellerheads in the dance arena, several leading remixers have reinterpreted her classic gems: Moloko, Kenny 'Dope' Gonzales, Groove Armada, Nightmares On Wax & More. The cover art on this version shows Bassey in one of her trademark poses, remarkably different than the US version which depicts her as the Jetson's maid Rosie.
