Yoko Ono - Open Your Box (Remix Album)

This is not a re-release of the single she released a few years ago. However, this is a collection featuring a bunch of remixes done of her songs over the last few years. Some of her recent club hits include "Open Your Box", "Kiss Kiss Kiss", "Yang Yang", "Walking On Thin Ice", "Everyman/Everywoman", and "Hell In Paradise." In addition to those, there are some previously unreleased remixes and there's the new cover she did of "Give Peace A Chance." Multiple mixes for several tracks are included in this 14 track set. It's completely unmixed. However, all songs are not in their original club lengths. They have been edited down so they would be suitable for mixshow use and consumers who may not feel like listening to a 12 minute remix. The editing is really well-done so the flow of the mixes doesn't feel interrupted. These mixes are harder and a lot dancier, and are suitable for the clubs unlike Ono's previous remix collection Yes, I'm A Witch, which contained downtempo reconstructions of her classics. The full club mixes are available for sale at iTunes and the CD maxis for some of them may still be available through some careful eBay searching. Overall, this is a must-have for fans of Yoko Ono's Dance music career and those who enjoy something a little out of the ordinary.

The Killers - Read My Mind / Bones

"Bones" was originally the second single off of The Killers' current album, however, "Read My Mind" was chosen instead. Both have got the remixing treatments though.

As of right now, "Read My Mind" has mixes by Pet Shop Boys and Gabriel & Dresden. The Pet Shop Boys mix is a lovely electro/dance/rock mix that could work well on Pop Radio. Seriously. It's very sophisticated and bridges the gap between all those genres. The mix is very retro sounding and calls to mind some of Erasure and Depeche Mode's 80's offerings. Neil Tennant's backing vocals really add to the mix and take it to the next level. Gabriel & Dresden's mix is in a similar vein, but it's a lot more chill. It's very nice as well. More mixes may be on the way.

"Bones" has a mix by Tiga right now. This mix really improves upon the original. The original was not bad, but it needed some energy that this mix gives.

Overall, these mixes work well on the radio and in the clubs so go check these out.
