Sound Quality:
Excellent studio. The recording level on Track 1 is too low.
Comments:
Track 1 is remixed by Brian Eno. Track 2 is remixed by Dave Dorrel.
Track 3 is mixed by Tim Simenon. Tracks 4, 6, and 8 are remixed by
Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne. Tracks 5 and 10 are remixed by "The
Ultra Hot Razor Crew". Track 7 is remixed by "911". Track 9 is
remixed by Paul Barrett. Track 11 is remixed by Youth. Track 12 is
remixed by David Morales. This boot is similar to THE REMIXES (FOR DJ
PROMO ONLY) and also any of the various "REMIXES FOR PROPAGANDA" CDs,
which are all, indeed, BOOTLEGS. While there is some overlap among the
discs, overall the series is a decent collection if you like to dance
to U2. Most of these tracks are not really official remixes and some,
I highly doubt, exist. This compilation is not too bad. There are some
keepers (Tracks 1 and 8, among others) but there are some real bombs on
here too. Track 2 is a decent remix, but the sound quality is
inconsistent with the rest of the disc; it appears to have been copied
off an LP. Some of the tracks are edits, thus only giving you some of
the song. Finally, the most embarrassing moment of this bootleg is
Track 7. The purpose of a remix is to offer a different interpretation
of a song. This mix is not only not a mix, but it makes the song
unlistenable by taking parts of Edge's guitar licks from the front end
of the song and repeating them over and over and over, and then moving
on and repeating. 911, whover you are, you should not be allowed to
"remix" a song as good as "Zooropa" and get away with it! This
compilation is not perfect, but it makes a good addition to the
superfan's collection. The front cover features a picture of a yellow
/ green banana, and the back cover features a fake "MELON-type" logo
saying "ORANGE - REMIXES FOR PROPAGANDA". The back cover is printed
in "MELON-style". ". Deluxe color cover. Orange picture CD.
This is the original pressing on this label.
