Everything about Remix Album totally explained
A
remix album is an
album consisting mostly of
remixes or re-recorded versions of a music artists' earlier released material.
Sly & The Family Stone's release,
10 Years Too Soon featured disco remixes of the 1960s Family Stone hits. Then, in
1982,
Soft Cell's release,
Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing, (containing the track "A Man Could Get Lost" which is notable as one of the precursors to
house music) was released. A month after the Soft Cell album,
The Human League's
Love and Dancing was released, and just under a year later
Imagination's
Nightdubbing was released.
The format was later popularised by the
Pet Shop Boys'
1986 release,
Disco, and then the bandwagon was jumped on further by popular artists such as
Madonna with her
1987 EP,
You Can Dance and in
1990 by
Paula Abdul's
Shut Up and Dance.
Although they'd existed for years, remix albums still eluded a sense of mainstream acceptance. That would all change in recent years with releases from acts such as
Destiny's Child,
Mariah Carey,
P. Diddy,
Tupac Shakur,
Janet Jackson,
Michael Jackson,
Mary J. Blige,
Britney Spears,
Linkin Park and
Jennifer Lopez, whose
2002 remix album was the first remix album to ever debut at number one on the
Billboard 200 albums chart. The artists listed here and many others have taken advantage of the format of the remix album.
