You Can't Argue with the Logic of Disco 4
It seems a number of PSB fans are decrying Disco 4 as a bastardisation of the Disco Series concept, in that this time round it's mostly a non-stop mix of club tracks they've done for other artists. Which is an odd sentiment really, given that Disco 2 is generally considered PSB's weakest release and Disco 3 was not non-stop remix at all but a tactical electro-comeback after the less than rapturous reception of Release. So, to be fair, the Disco concept is fair game, and this outing number 4 is certainly better than 2 and conceptually purer than 3. If there's an issue it should be that no big PSB fan will not own most if not all of this music already. But altogether here, in non-stop mix format, in true-to-form fabulous packaging, you have to acknowledge the impressive line-up of weighty legends Bowie, Madonna and Yoko Ono with the cool of The Killers, Atomizer and Rammstein. As is so often asked with PSB - who else in pop music could do this kind of thing?
Closer To remix Heaven?
Excellent! A chance to have all their great remixes in one place - a shame Boys & Girls is missing, though. Not really a PSB album, so understand the disappointment in previous reviews. And yes, PSB do release a lot of compilations between new music, but that doesn't mean the music isn't great. What is excellent here is the fact they have brought together diverse artists under one banner - like PSB introducing the artists and fans to this common ground: the fantastic, never-ever disappointing PSB remix. For pure PSB fans, its a shame you cannot simply download the Integral remix (you fools for not making this the cracking single it deserves to be.) But for people who like their dance music to be simply music in its own right, this is another excellent collection.
