Among the genre giants to receive the remix treatment -- Miles Davis, Ennio Morricone, Pierre Henry, Steve Reich, and now Astor Piazzolla -- are figures whose artistic and technical concepts changed the way listeners react to sound, all of which align perfectly with the aims of most dance producers. Though on the surface Piazzolla appears an odd choice, his nuevo tango dragged a traditional dance music into the modern world, and several of his most revelatory recordings were made at the front of an electric band aptly named Conjunto Electronico (which was influenced by the fusion revolution of groups like Miles Davis' ensemble of 1969-1970). Across its 15 tracks, Remixed flaunts a few excellent beat-based remixers from around the globe: Sweden (Koop), Detroit (John Beltran, John Arnold), Dollis Hill, London (4hero), Finland (Nuspirit Helsinki), and New York by way of Africa (Osunlade). Despite the range of talent, Remixed is only occasionally successful; too much respect for the master of the bandoneon results in far too many weak remixes that find the middle ground between tango and electronic dance but do little in the way of exciting music. ~ John Bush
