it's for sale over at the club.
give me two reasons each of you why i should get it.

It was produced by Prince! Back from the dead.

1. It's better than the original.
2. It won't get you the dry heaves like the first one did.

stymie said:

hmm i see.

do you think Prince released this version becuz he didn't like the original as it quite a commercial sounding record?

only half of the album is actually remixed. A couple other songs are a few seconds longer. It's a strange release. The only redeeming thing is the Hot Wit U remix.

It also has an extra track, the excellent "Beautiful Strange".

Are you kidding? The Rave remix and the Man O' War remix are probably the two worst remixes Prince has ever done.

milty said:

Buy it for "Beautiful Strange" and the extended "Prettyman".

Its got a nice picture of lambs in a field on the inner display.

Eve's on it, she's CRAZYSEXYCOOL.

It's only got one lamb in the picture, and the picture is the same as the Rave Un2 version.

But the packaging and booklet in Rave In2 is better.

Musically, I prefer Rave In2 because it leaves off 'Every Day Is A Winding Road' and 'Strange But True', and it includes 'Beautiful Strange' (albeit I prefer the version of 'Beautiful Strange' without the Mike Scott guitar work).

milty said:

It has 27% more shit than the previous Rave.

Better features:
Rave In2 is a good remix
Undisputed Moneyopolis - much better than Un2
Greatest Romance - extended version
Tangerine - extended version
Baby Knows - extended by a few seconds (still a crappy song though!)
Man O War is also a good remix
Beautiful Strange - nice track, slightly overrated though
Prettyman - extended (enough said!!!)
No advertisment or silent tracks - hooray!
No Everyday Is A Winding Road - crappy song

Worse features:
No Strange But True (the best track on either album!)
Hot Wit U remix is lame

Oh, I liked that one too. Must be the sentimental attachment to the Vanity 6 classic. As for the rest of the album... Well, I've hardly listened to it as the remixed songs weren't all that good to begin with - except for the classic Rave Un2..., of course. But then, that's sentimental value too, innit? It reminds me of the Batdance period. They played the Batmix all the time at the PAN Gay Club back when I started going such places - young and hung and full of...
Gosh, how time just flies by!

well it's too late now. i just ordered it as well as the Days of Wild single.

milty said:

You'll be happy. You will also, after digging the fantastic Beautiful Strange, have to seek out the original version of that song.

And then you will have to get the longer version of the Monty Day's Of Wild.

It never ends...
