4 out of 5 stars a remix that helps the music be freed.......2007-05-10

One might think that the Rz in their 30+ years may have come back to the beginning of their creative output and dried themselves out when they put out two remix discs--this, and a remix of the previously only mythological _WB_ album that got them their monicker when it was returned to them quite anonymously.

And one may think that the Rz have simply become over the hill and have to go back through previous stuff for anything of interest, considering their three-volume _Best Left Unsaid_ series that rereleases Rz instrumental music.

But I tend to think that this release helps highlight what the Rz do best, and that is instrumental music. The original _King & Eye_ was a little too dependent on Cube-E, a conceptual concert that looked at the roots of American music. The Elvis section may have been more sensical in the context of the full show, but the original _King & Eye_ seemed a little too monotone, with most all of the versions working through the same deep, Southern tone. This remix lets some of the other aspects of the Elvis revisioning come through, and it is something of a pleasure. While I think the Homer Flynn voice has become a little too prevalent of the RZ stuff of the past decade at least, the mixes here lighten the load and make this once again an intersting album.
