Search - Justice :: Waters of Nazareth

Pretty good, especially for the price!

"I recently got into dance music, and quickly discovered acts like Daft Punk, Justice, and Kavinsky. At the same time, I've been getting back into vinyl records. I did a search here on Amazon for Justice, thinking I would buy their 'Cross' album, and found this in the search results. A brand new vinyl maxi single for under $10? I'm there. I was disappointed that it didn't have the Carpates track. Strangely enough, this didn't have the same tracks as either of the releases Wikipedia mentioned. Rather odd. According to wikipedia, the tracklisting should be as follows:

12" (First Release)



1. Waters Of Nazareth

2. Let There Be Light

3. Carpates



or

12" and CD (Second Release)



1. Waters Of Nazareth

2. Let There Be Light

3. Carpates

4. Waters of Nazareth (Justice Remix)

5. Let There Be Light (DJ Funk's Bounce Dat *SS Remix)

6. Waters of Nazareth (Erol Alkan's Durrr Durrr Durrrrrr Re-Edit)



But this only contains THe original song, a Justice remix, an Erol Alkan remix, and a DJ Funk remix of Let There Be Light (in that order)







All in all, Waters Of Nazareth is a pretty good song. If you don't like loud analog noise, I wouldn't recommend it. But if you do, it's worth a listen. It is nowhere close to being their best song, but it is nonetheless listenable and danceable.



The Justice remix is just a rework, really, and to me is just about as good as the original.



The Erol Alkan mix is fantastic! It sounds almost better than the original, and puts some interesting twists on the original song without really adding anything else.



The DJ Funk Bounce Dat @$$ remix sucks Dat @$$ just as much as it bounces it. Seriously. It totally destroyed everything good about the song, and added some freakish rap thing to it. F-. This song makes me want to lower my score to a 3, but I know that wouldn't reflect on everything else, so I'll let it slide.



Final breakdown: If you like dance music, Justice, and have a turntable, this is a must buy! The album art is superb, and listening to the record is fun :D 4/5
