CD ReviewsA schizzophrenic route to greatness Takis Tz. | InYourHead | 11/20/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "I couldnt think of any modern group with a more bizzare course in music than Primal Scream. A group that have elevated themselves to the electronic scenes darlings and at the same time a group with a tough political edge hard to find in any genre. At the same time, this is the same group that started off playing straight old rock n roll, shifted to a strange hybrid of alternative rock and then to "Screamadelica" only to explode to the masterful and classic "Vanishing Point" and "Xtrmntr". Well, in that respect, this collection of their hits is extremely honest exactly because it displays the twisted course this group has followed.
While I'm personally not a rabid fan of their earlier work, I find their latest offerings truly awesome (with the exception of the rather raw "Evil heat"). Consequently the latter half of the 1st CD is intimidating and justifies those who claim that Primal Scream are one of the most innovative and provoking groups around today. In the limited edition CD you get a remixes package as well. Inevitably, and as is usual with the remix editions this is a so-so proposition: some of the remixes are undeniably inspired and offer a brand new take on the original versions and most...well, are not. One cant help but think that some of these songs could've been unforgettably remixed in the hands of others. But ah, such are the mysteries of the remix business or, should i say, the music's business as a whole. Essentially, and not forgetting that Primal Scream remain an alternative band in all respects, this "Dirty Hits" should be a great opportunity to discover a band beyond the sun of MTV. Four stars only because there is no lyrics included and with Primal Scream this is a major, major miss." |
