I can't say I wasn't warned

I am a big fan of Bowie, and a big fan of electronic and dance music. But these remixes are just dreadful. I read a mixed review of this cd somewhere, but bought it anyway. WOW. How dumb was that? These remixes are mind numbing, boring and repetitive. Some are completely unrecognizable, taking the hooks and lyrics we know and love, removing them and putting in their place horribly dated synth effects and drum tracks. My one and only question: Did David Bowie hear these remixes before allowing this release? If so, what was he thinking???

largely forgetable

well I'm with J Brady on this one. I guess Club Bowie is a hangover from the 80's when Bowie would release just about anything to make a buck. Most of the tracks on this album are just awful. Mind-numbing repetitive trash. Reminds me of the days when I bought the extended mix of Day in Day Out! And I wouldn't do that again in a hurry. In saying that though, there are one or two good remixes here; Scumfrogs' Loving The Alien and Solaris "Shout." The rest are fairly lame.

Surprisingly good

The thought of remixing David Bowie's music may seem sacrilegious to some but this remix album is surprisingly good and the remixes are tasteful and consistent, a rarity for many remix albums.

Scumfrog's remix of "Loving The Alien" retains the chill of the original while the David Guetta remix of "Heroes" captures the mesmerizing sweep of Bowie's classic song. The Danny S remix of "Magic Dance" is appropriately upbeat and bouncy and an added treat is the Club Bolly version of "Let's Dance" which is an excellent overhaul of the funk/pop hit.

I am a fan of Bowie's original material but these remixes are worth hearing and definitely recommended for fans of Bowie's more dance-oriented material.
