Rundgren remixes old favorites

"Todd Rundgren has always shown himself to be an innovator. Some of his releases have left fans scratching their heads, but Todd continues to move on, reinventing the envelope. On the Brilliant Records 2003 RE-MIXES, the liner notes are sparse, but it appears that Todd himself has remixed the original tracks to excellent effect, most with a featured guest artist creating a new part. The new mixes differ from the originals enough to be interesting listening on their own, often utilizing a new tempo.

Unfortunately, the packaging is lacking, particularly in that seven of the eighteen tracks (17 are listed) are low-fi duplicates of earlier tracks on the same disc! There are eleven actual different tracks for a total length of about 45 minutes (not the 67 mins. listed.) However, if you liked these songs as previously released, you ought to enjoy these extreme make-overs."
