how do we feel about this one? (especially VC and Cin)

I like "On and On" and the mixes of "Anytime Anyplace" but the rest sounds pretty generic/boring to me, though hearing any Janet songs in a fresh way is always welcomed.

Only crap mix on there is Because Of Love (Frankie & David Treat Mix).

Nellee Hooper Mix of Where Are You Now improves on the original.

Well I like some of the other remixes just because I once owned other singles for the album which the remixes first appeared on, so this CD sort of streamlined it for me.

My favorite is "And On And On" which was the b-side for Any Time Any Place, the single which also had the R.Kelly remix.

Sacrelige!

"Where Are You Now" is my favorite Janet ballad. OK, so it's "Better Days", but "where Are You Now" is my second favorite.

I also like "And On and On." ATAP is one of R. Kelly's best remixes.

I also agree that the original version of "Where Are You Now" is untoppable. That and "If" are my favorites on that album.

The mix adds some great momentum to the song. It doesn't screw up the feel, but is just a different spin on the original. I like it better because I prefer its use of background vocals.

Is this an old album or something new?

VoicesCarry said:

I like it better too. The remix of "What'll I Do" is pretty hot too.

94/95, There is the awesome RKelly mix of "Anytime anyplace"

I kinda hate that remix. I like the house one much more.

GangstaFam said:

I like that mix too, "Anytime Anyplace" was just an amazing track in any form. My personal Fav Jan record.

twink69 said:

So are you guys talking about remixes over the years or did they put out an album of her remixes (as the thread title suggests)

CalhounSq said:

There was an actual remix album.

GangstaFam said:

Thanks, never heard of it

I don`t have the remix album, but there are several remix singles i would recommend...

The two cd singles of "When i think of you" from 1996

I hear the japanese "Rhythm nation" remix cds are great, i only have "Love will never do" and "Come back to me"
(which i personally didn`t like that much, every track sounded just the same...)

We're actually talking about the remixes from the 'Janet.' album, but I have a few of those Japanese 'Rhythm Nation' maxi-singles and they are very comprehensive.

VoicesCarry said:

I like that one too. CJ's remix of "Any Time Any Place" is also a fave of mine. I bought the double vinyl LP instead of the CD because it has more songs.

sextonseven said:

I know, but like i said, i don`t have that album, so i don`t have that much to say about it

BUT, speaking of the "Janet" album mixes, do you (or anyone else) know the remixes of "That`s the way love goes"? Are they any good?


1. LP Version
2. CJ R&B 7" Mix
3. CJ R&B 12" Mix
4. CJ Fxte Club Mix 12
5. Macapella
6. CJ Fxte Instrumental

Icicle said:

They're like your basic techno remixes of that era. I enjoy it cuz that was one of the singles I had.

Icicle said:

The R&B mixes have a groovier drum pattern than the album version. The Club Mix is a house mix.

The best one is the "We Aimsta Win" remix which isn't on the single. The chorus is reworked into something totally different. I like that one better than the original.

CalhounSq said:

i am shocked you didnt comment on the white hands on boob shots.

sosgemini said:

I don't get it

CalhounSq said:

it doesnt look odd to you?

sosgemini said:

Okay, I honestly don't get the joke - care to explain?

Bueller?

sextonseven said:

Not possible. "Impeach The President" is the baddest drum pattern ever.

CinisterCee said:

I meant groovier in that in was more groove-like--more repetitive for clubs.

sosgemini said:

Um....those are Rene's hands. Her husband's. Lawd.

Icicle said:

TTWLG mixes are great. We Aimsta Win mixes are unfortunately only on promo.

VoicesCarry said:

One version was officially released on the 'Janet.' hardcover 2CD book.
