Reviews: Soulwax - Nite Versions

After the runaway success of their DJ incarnation, 2 Many DJs, Soulwax take another step over to ' the other side' with this self-produced remix album. Taking the original blueprints of songs from their "Any Minute Now", they re-work them into storming dance floor electro with a live edge that packs a punch. For the CD release, they've even mixed them all into a continuous pounding party album. It's not just remixes of tracks off the last album though. There's also their cover of the Daft Punk song "Teachers" and a collaboration with the LCD Soundsystem. With the band putting in all the work, it makes for an unusual concept for an album. However, it's done with so much zest, that "Nite Versions" is the best album there is to play when you get in from the club to keep the feeling going. A great companion to an already great album.
