A remix album is a slightly more refreshing alternative to the cumbersome greatest-hits packages. Eight years after the remix album Full Circle, Meltdown offers various takes on Icehouse classics by the cream of Australia's DJs. Great efforts are made to update the Icehouse sound to a dance rather than art-obsessed generation and, as Iva Davies was one of the first Australian electro-pop pioneers, he is better placed than most for the treatment. However, only a few of these pieces really succeed. Most striking are the new "Lay Your Hands on Me" with Speed of Light and the reincarnation of the band's first single, "Can't Help Myself," beautifully reconstructed as a dreamy trance-like anthem by beXta, as is Ivan Gough and Colin Snape's "Cafe Latte" mix of "Don't Believe Anymore." "Street Cafe" and Skipraiders' take on "Electric Blue" also translate well, the latter's poppy-ness actually sounding more like Icehouse now than its shameless original '80s rock version. There are casualties, though, and the Germanic disco thump of "Hey Little Girl," "Icehouse" itself, and the normally fabulous Josh Abrahams' dark variant of "Crazy" don't bode well at all. Interesting but for diehards and dance slaves only. ~ Kelvin Hayes

Features remixes of classic Icehouse tracks from some of Australia's finest DJ's including Paul Mac, Love Tattoo, Wicked Beat Sound System, Pnau, Infusion, Ivan Gough, Bexta and more.

4 stars Not a bad little dance remix CD this one...
It's not uncommon nowadays for bands to rehash and add some drum and bass to other bands work... but have you ever had one of those days where you hear an old song and go, "Gee, I wonder what that song would sound like doofed up?" Enter Icehouse's stab at this market, with 'Meltdown'. Every song on the album lovingly remixed by well known DJs with mammoth reputations. Old Icehouse fans looking for non electronic remixes will be very dissapointed - this album is definitely for the serious dance music fanatics out there. Of credible note is 'Street Cafe' redone by Smash n Grab for the ultimate straight dance-up, 'Don't Believe Anymore' remixed by Ivan and Colin for a nice take-you-for-a-journey number, and of course the chart busting remix of 'Lay Your Hands On Me' with Icehouse and Speed Of Light going head to head in an amazing display of truely satisfying electronic harmony. Definitely one VERY underrated album, and very rare in the digital parts - get it while you still can.

You knew the Corrs had made it when they played the final JFK Awards ceremony of the Clinton administration. Playing it would have been achievement enough, but their status as a happening thing was cemented at the end of the ceremony, during the encores, when everybody was taking their final bows. Bill moseyed up over to Andrea, put his arm around her, and when ...

For those listeners frustrated by the often hyper-sexualized image of teen pop stars such as Brittany Spears, Jessica Simpson, or even Hillary Duff, Christian artist Britt Nicole offered an inspirational alternative. On her sophomore album THE LOST GET FOUND, the spunky vocalist delivered a shiny pop record full of the same sort of hip-hop beats, auto-tuned vocals, and catchy hooks found on her secular contemporaries' records, but with ...
