I got a copy of the new Jack Dangers remix compilation cd recently and
I really dig it. A professional mastering job featuring full, unedited,
un-mixed tracks. Nice showcase of Jack's remixes from 1991 to the present.
Now while there are a small handful of us out there who already have
most of the remixes in their MBM collections, it is still a must-have
release. For the rest of you who haven't really gotten into Jack's remixes,
this serves as a much-needed introduction.
I've gone through this cd and figured out what's what as far as the
tracklisting goes. The tracklisting is a bit wrong. Here's the correction:
Pro.File 1 Jack Dangers / Meat Beat Manifesto Remix Collection
CD gatefold digipak

10. Papa Brittle - "Status Quo (westminster dub)"

Here's a breakdown of a the remixes and where they can be found
otherwise:
Track #1 appears on Jack Dangers' _Hello Friends!_ mix cd, but it is
part of the mix and in an edited/excerpted form. Also appeared previously
in its [vinyl-only] full form on Dimensional Holofonic Sound's _ House Of
God Official 10 Year Anniversary Remixes_ 12" on Tino Corp.
Track #3 is actually "You've Been Around (dangers trance mix)" which
was available as an exclusive vinyl-only track on David Bowie's hard-to-find
_Black Tie White Noise_ dj-only 12" [BLACK 1].
Track #4 is actually an edit of "Hyperreal (selector)", and not the
full version as it is misleadingly listed. This edit also appears on The
Shamen's _En-Tact_ cd as a bonus track.
Track #8 is supposedly going to appear on an upcoming Freddy Fresh
single, but I haven't heard anything more about it. Most likely vinyl-only.
Track #11 has appeared on the _Urban Revolutions "The DJ Z-Trip
Megamix"_ mix cd, but it was part of the mix and in an edited/excerpted
form.
All other tracks are from long out-of-print releases.
Songs which were previously vinyl-only and can now be found on this
release - for the first time - in their full/unedited [digital cd] form:
* D.H.S. - "The House Of God (jack dangers remix)
* David Bowie - "You've Been Around (dangers trance mix)"
* Banco De Gaia - "How Much Reality Can You Take? (mysterious drum mix)"
Songs which are (as of this point in time) EXCLUSIVE to this release:
* Atomic Babies - "Cetch Da' Monkey (sonology instrumental mix)"
* Freddy Fresh - "Party Right (all terrain mountain mix)"
* Tino - "Liquid Dub (jack dangers mix)"
The digipak sleeve artwork leaves possibilities for future volumes
using a slight variation of the same design and/or colors. Inside the
sleeve is a resume of nearly all of Jack Dangers' production and remix work.
Also included are full credits and publishing info for all of the songs
featured on this cd.
Oh, and there are four small thumbnails of Jack Dangers original
artwork ["Jack Dangers' (micro)Gallery"]. Not really that impressive.
Overuse of the Photoshop negative image filter - something you'd see on a
video screen at a club or something. Sorry Jack... stick to the music.
Anyway, I recommend this compilation to anyone into Meat Beat
Manifesto. Most of the songs are instrumentals, with only a few
vocal-driven ones. All have been saturated fully by Jack, making them his
own. I can't wait for volume number two... at this point he's got enough
material for five more.
My heart goes out to those who have to deal with the legalities of
getting the varoius artists' tracks together.
