Britney Spears - 2005 - B - Sides In The Mix

B IN THE MIX: THE REMIXES is full of brash, tantalizing, and occasionally brilliant energy. In addition to one new song (the dreamy "And Then We Kiss"), there are some fine reworkings of the pop idol's biggest hits by reputable guest DJs. Peter Rauhofer's pulsing, electro take on "Toxic," for example, is particularly appealing, as is Justice's stomping remix of "Me Against the Music" (which features Madonna), and Jacques Lu Cont's eerie, erotic "Thin White Duke Mix" of "Breathe on Me." These sophisticated electronica interpretations take some of the sugar off the original versions, leaving them leaner, heavier, and more mesmerizing, better suited to the dance club than MTV
