Few of the DJs and producers onboard are able to correct
Soulive's polite dinner-music tendencies on
Turn It Out Remixed. As a result, the disc will only appeal to a small percentage of the group's dedicated followers.
Me'Shell NdegéOcello,
the Beatnuts,
J-Live,
DJ Spinna, two-fifths of
Jurassic 5, and a small cast of lesser-knowns are present; the majority of these people are able to cast a grittier and more lively coating on
Soulive's sound, but most of the attempts are for nought. You still get the feeling that the group is best experienced in a live setting. The remix of "Nealization" is one of the more bizarre cuts -- who could've predicted that an acid squiggle and a
John Scofield guitar line would ever appear on the same track?
