Originally released in Japan and then spreading out to other territories as her international star rose,
Remix is precisely what it claims: remixed versions of
Lady Gaga hits. The U.S. version cuts the international edition from 17 tracks to a clean, concise ten cuts, concentrating on the best remixes, including mixes from
Richard Vission and
Stuart Price. That this is not an essential addition to
Gaga’s canon goes without saying -- it is not as sharp and cohesive as
You Can Dance, its patchwork nature too evident -- but there’s glitz and glamour to enjoy here, perhaps not in as great a number as
Fame or
Fame Monster, but enough to please those who have worn out either already. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
