The Perfect Remix Album.
I was extremely sad when I found out that Melanie Thornton passed away, but this CD just uses her voice even more and keeps the hits coming. My favorites are Be My Lover (Club Mix), Forget Me Nots (Club Mix)-this was actually the first time I had heard any of this song because it is not available on the US version of Sweet Dreams-, I Love To Love (Club Mix), Le Click: Tonight Is The Night (Dance Mix), and the Megamix. The other remaining remixes are fine, too, but these five just stood out more. If I could add two more things, though, they would be The Club Mix of Sweet Dreams and a remix of Where Do You Go, because that is also an excellent song. But overall, this CD should keep you jammin' all night! So enjoy some music from the days when it was exciting, new, and actually GOOD! Rest in peace, Melanie.
BEST MUSIC EVER
I was shocked when La Bouche's lead singer died last year, Be My Lover and Sweet Dreams was their best songs in the 90's. I can dance to their music, their songs are good for partys.
PURE PERFECTION
'La Bouche' made their mark in eurodance history with their floor filling club hit 'Be My Lover', followed by the equally unforgettable 'Sweet Dreams'. I bought this album because I wanted the club mix of 'Be My Lover' plus the remixes of 'I Love To Love' & 'Tonight Is The Night', which in my opinion is one of the finest eurodance tracks ever recorded. This song is the reason CD players have a 'repeat' function!! It contains the superlative vocals of Melanie Thornton, accompanied by a contageous beat & sprinkled with light rap.
I like the megamix, too, but I don't like the R&B style tunes or mixes of their 'first album' songs, mainly because i think any song under around 135bpm just isn't La Bouche.
LONG LIVE LA BOUCHE!
If only all remixes could be this good!!!!
While much of the music world mourned the untimely death in 2001 of singer/actress Aaliyah, hers was not the only voice lost in an ill-fated plane trip. Melanie Thornton, one half of the recording duo known as LaBouche, was also killed late in the year while en route to Zurich.
She and partner Lane McCrary soared to the top of the pop/dance charts in the mid-90's with a slew of hits. These are remixed here, retaining the powerful vocals and rap while offering slammin' rhythmic arrangements that launch the tunes into another realm of the musical stratosphere.
What better way to remember our loss than to party and recall the good times had as we danced the night away to La Bouche!!!
"Forget Me Nots"? I think not.
Great Old-Style Dance Mix Album
I bought this album because I wanted the club mix of Be My Lover. I was surprised by the other mixes on this album, and how well they were put together. This cd rocks! I play it all the time for friends, and at first, they sneer because the songs are a few years old, but once it gets going, they are turnin up the volume and jammin right along! This is a great album for kids who want dance music, but their parents don't want a cd with lots of cursing.
