5 out of 5 stars Funky video.......2001-09-20

Personally, I don't like the 'Star 69' song at all, but that said I thought that some of these mixes were better than the original version.
However, the beauty of this CD is not in the Star 69 remixes, but in the video of 'Weapon of Choice', starring Christopher Walken and directed by Spike Jonze. This video has received a huge amount of airplay and acclaim, so it was great to have my own copy to play at my own convenience, even if I am limited to playing it on my computer. I love the funky dancing and Walken just has the perfect demeanour, facial expression and great moves for this clip.
So - if you're going to buy this CD just for the music, I would give it just one star, but the official 5 star rating I gave it reflects just how much I think of this video.

The Timo Maas Mix is based around a boring piano sample, and sounds like some kind of after-hours house music. Pieces of the male vocal sample, including the profanity, have been replaced by synth noises, and aren't even missed.

X-Press 2 Wine 'Em, Dine 'Em, 69 'Em Mix. What a mouthful (forgive the pun). X-Press 2 Dub might have been a more suitable name, as this is practically a dub. The uncensored vocals are cut up and triggered in a stilted, spazzy sort of way. But the beat cruises along with good inertia, and there is even a surprising little build. This dub/remix is the best track on the CD, but still is not likely to have much appeal beyond DJs and a minimalism-craving subset of clubbers.

The DJ Godfather Detroit Getto-Tek Mix is really goofy. It's about as cheesy as a tek-step drum machine beat backed by a strobing discotheque bassline and a liberal serving of the infamous "wtf" sample can be. Kids, avoid this and stay in school.

I wish CDs were readily recyclable.
