Spach Channel 5 - All Funked Up
Joshua Smythe | Australia | 06/04/2002
(4 out of 5 stars)
"One of the grooviest games of all time gets one of the greatest remix albums ever. As if the alien grooves that got Ulala dancing weren't enough already, this album features some funky remixes of the classic original tunes. Awesome basslines underpin both subtle and extreme remixes of the Space Channel 5 theme: Mexican Flier, pushing the Ken Woodman track from its roots with The Picadilly Brass into a full on dance/techno extravaganza! Far superior to its American cousin: the American Flier single, this album is opulent and brilliantly remixed featuring some big name guests like Kenji Eno, the head of Warp and creator of D2. I cannot recommend this CD more, to both videogame fanatics and lovers of electronic music, but stopped short of giving it 5 stars due to the limited number of tracks. Buy it, grab your lightsticks and rave all night long with Ulala, you won't be disappointed."
