Culture Club Album: “Culture Club 2005 Singles & Remixes”

As a CC fan, this a nice addition to your CC CD collection, including FIVE new remixes for 2005, including an edgy nu-electro take on MISS ME BLIND that deserves to a club hit all over again courtesy of a F*ck Me I'm Famous remix by France's own David Guetta - the other remixes, although oddly all clocking in around 3:30 minutes (why?), are cool updates, like the LEDGE remix of KARMA, but...I must ask, with the 80s being cashed in & exhumed like a rotting corpse once again, WHY can't Virgin cough up a real 12" CD collection featuring ALL the original CC/Boy George 12"s - I'm talking the 10 minute remix of SEXUALITY, the dance remix of GHUSTO BLUSTO, BOY's B-sides and remixes from SOLD and more - c'mon guys, CC still has a wide fanbase around the globe, this CD would sell if you create it!

The only thing new is the five remixes. The rest you may already have. With Boy George's latest legal lament and Jon Moss in a new band, Culture Club are DOA again, so Virgin/EMI France found a way to fill the void (instead of another greatest hits collection with the same recycled material, you know the one). Boy may have approved the remixes, since it's akin to his DJ work. The remix of "Do You Really" is more in line with the Carribean aura. "Karma Chameleon" makes sense as well. The other three just aren't the same.

I liked the remixes and new versions of some great hits! I bet these songs would be great hits today because of how they were remixed for this cd. I discovered one song online through You Tube. It is worth the money if you are a great fan of Boy George and Culture Club. If you are a fan of this era of music, it is a must have.
