New Remixes Of Billy Idol Classics On 180g Vinyl 2LP!
Featuring Moby, RAC, Tropkillaz, DJDS, The Crystal Method, Paul Oakenfold & More!
More than 30 years after his groundbreaking Vital Idol compilation cemented the vibrancy of the dance-rock remix genre in the second half of the 1980s, Billy Idol's Revitalized collection features 11 brand-new remixes of Idol's most enduring hits. Lending their hands to the Revitalized proceedings are electronic dance luminaries Moby, The Crystal Method and Paul Oakenfold as well as current innovators including RAC, Tropkillaz, Shiba San, Juan Maclean and CRAY.
Vital Idol, initially released in Britain in 1985 and subsequently issued in the United States in 1987, was the first remix record released by a rock superstar. Besides being certified platinum, Vital Idol was accompanied by a version of "Mony Mony" that reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart, as well as hitting the Top 10 on the UK Singles chart.
Highlights found within the grooves of Revitalized include The Crystal Method's percussive, explosive stab at "Rebel Yell", CRAY's bass-and-keyboard-blessed "White Wedding", Tropkillaz's trop-house framing of "Eyes Without A Face", St. Francis Hotel's shimmering stop/start reshaping of "Flesh For Fantasy", and RAC's retro-harmonic, fist-pumping "Dancing With Myself".
