AMG Review of Remix

Stephen Thomas Erlewine
All Music Guide

Originally released in Japan and then spreading out to other territories as her international star rose, Remix is precisely what it claims: remixed versions of Lady Gaga hits. The U.S. version cuts the international edition from 17 tracks to a clean, concise ten cuts, concentrating on the best remixes, including mixes from Richard Vission and Stuart Price. That this is not an essential addition to Gaga’s canon goes without saying -- it is not as sharp and cohesive as You Can Dance, its patchwork nature too evident -- but there’s glitz and glamour to enjoy here, perhaps not in as great a number as Fame or Fame Monster, but enough to please those who have worn out either already.
