Customer Reviews Stevie on the dance floor. Nicks that puts it up there with some of her best dance hits like "Stand Back" and "I Can't Wait". This is the remixes of the rock/pop outing by Ms. This cd comes with 3 sets of mixes that show that no matter where or what Stevie Nicks sings works. The 2 Tracy Young Mixes are trance style mixes and are just brilliant. The vocal club mix is 10:27 and the dub is 8:08. Trance trance trance. The Illicit mixes come in a Cher-like mix (7:49)that is good and two dub style mixes. The Vocal Dub Mix(7:32) is the best mix on this cd. Very aggressive yet with aliitle 80's flair thrown in for great effect. This mix kicks major. . . The Dub Instrumental mix is the same mix as the Vocal dub but no Stevie on it. Then you get a Extended album mix (6:35) for those who like the album mix. This was a number one club hit and hopefully the artist and record label will consider more remixes when thinking of releasing more singles in the future for releases. interesting remixes, but.... I've heard, and own, a few club remixes from Fleetwood Mac; those remixes are a little more than extended album versions. I've always wondered how Stevie would sound remixed for the clubs. I was surprised to see a bona fide Stevie remix; she is always a little dark and her lyric too expressive for a techo backbeat. This cd5 contains two remixes and an extended album version of "Planets. " The Tracy Young remix is too long, the radio edit is good. Eleven minutes of this song gets to be boring and the mix is uninspired. The intro is way too long and it's really almost impossible to effectively use this song in a beat mix. The illict mix clocks in at a little over seven minutes, has a faster bpm and features a nice guitar overdub. The vocals fade in much sooner on this mix, very clean. My personal favorite is the extended album version. It stretches the intent of the song, adding more emotion and a additional lyric. Stevie scores a #1 on Billboard's Dance Chart Who would have guessed that, in the 21st century, she would dominate the dance charts? But she did, with "Planets of the Universe. Stevie Nicks has been a force on the rock & pop scene for two decades. " The song hit #1 on Billboard's Dance Chart in 2001. This CD presents several dance mixes and an extended rock mix of the standout song from her album "Trouble in Shangri-La. " The dance mixes are stellar, and the extended mix rounds out the CD as a nice addition to any fan's collection. .
