Despite minimalist techno sets like their Groovetechnology mix from 2001, Swayzak are still largely pop producers, and Dirty Dancing also shows them more conscious of their strengths than on their last standard LP, the sprawling Himawari. Right off the bat, the opener "Make Up Your Mind" -- an atmospheric house track with vocals by Clair Dietrich -- lays out exactly what makes Swayzak so special: impossibly crisp production, impeccable interplay between rhythm and effects, and the most difficult quality for any electronica producer to nail down: a crucial, distinctive sound. Dirty Dancing is actually much darker than the duo's previous work; standouts "Buffalo Seven" and "In the Car Crash" are stark synth pop tracks that put the lie to the fallacy that synthesizers can't sound dirty. The vocals on the latter are pure razor-wire, while the production approaches the seminal "Warm Leatherette" by the Normal (another masochistic crash fantasy). Dirty Dancing also marks a concrete break from the sublime house melancholia of Swayzak's early work. Most of the tracks here approach the cold darkwave of the nascent electroclash scene, made explicit on "I Dance Alone," a feature for Detroit electro favorites Adult. Over the course of three gorgeous albums, Swayzak have made it very clear they have no need for bandwagon-jumping, but any crossover that can expose music this good to a wider audience is welcome. ~ John Bush

$9.09
Someone at Sony must have a serious love of dance music, because it's hard to believe this sprawling, hard to figure out compilation was conceived by the marketing department. There are some big names on Everybody Dance Now! Remixed, Remodeled & Remade but a heck of a lot of little ones, and some that'll only ring bells for club historians with a taste for the mainstream. The big names aren't always represented by the big hits, either, but who'd expect to have so many hard-to-finds in one place? If you've been searching for the ...

Dirty Dancing songs
$16.39 
No producer in the history of rock & roll has ever conjured up a more distinctive sound and style than Phil Spector, and more than a few other folks tried to crack the secret to his Wall of Sound during his glory days. Some of them came surprisingly close, as evidenced by this, Ace's second collection of Spector knockoffs from the 1960s. Phil's Spectre II isn't as strong or consistent a set as the first album, but still boasts more than its share of gems; several of the cuts are the work of folks who often worked with Spector and learned his tricks firsthand (Bill Medley of the Righteous Brothers was behind the board for their tune "Nite Owl," and frequent Spector arranger Jack Nitzsche was the man behind "Bring It All Down" by the Satisfactions), while others were legendary studio cats figuring out how Phil did it (Shadow Morton cut "The Dum Dum Ditty" on the Goodies, while Al Kooper wrote and produced the deliciously silly Dylan "tribute" "Bobby's Come a Long Long Way"). Probably the most remarkable story in the liner notes comes from James Holvay, who explains how he and his partner, Gary Beisbier, hobbled together the session for Kane & Abel's "Break Down and Cry" in three hours using a handful of high-school ...
| | Phoenix It's Never Been Like That CD (2006)
Dirty Dancing album
$9.35
With its third album, French pop group Phoenix heads away from the dance floor and toward a crisp, guitar-based sound more in line with the Strokes. While the lighthearted 1980s-flavored beats that make Phoenix's music so enjoyable are still in place, they are carefully countered with a jangly slacker aesthetic. IT'S NEVER BEEN LIKE THAT may not pop with anything as catchy as their early single "Too Young," ...
