Album Description

Put it in your basket now!

I have always loved Janet Jackson's masterpiece of an album, Janet, but had gradually lost interest due to overplaying it. However, this remix album has not only renewed my interest in the original, but has also brought many of these classic songs into a new light. This is more of a complete reimagining of the songs from Janet, rather than a simple remix effort. "Throb" features a sexy new sax part that continues in an amazing solo after the fade of the rest of the song (and it clocks in at a thrilling 9+ minutes). Overall, this is well worth the money and is a CD that you will enjoy for years to come. June 6, 2007

An awesome collection

"janet. Remixed" is a really nice collection of remixes and worth the buy.
1. That's The Way Love Goes (CJ FXTC Club Mix) (6:24)-A great opener and really sexy in its own way. The bass is cool.

2. If (Brothers In Rhythm House Mix) (7:10)-A HOT house mix that'll get you moving! The best elements of house are all in here. (Brothers In Rhythm also did a more hip-hop flavored version of this song, the "Swing Yo Pantz" mix, which I think was on the single for "If".)

3. Because of Love (Frankie & David Treat Mix) (6:41)-"BOL" wasn't one of my favorite songs from janet., but this makes it a hell of a lot better. Sexy.

4. And On and On (4:50)-A B-side. It's really funky.

5. Throb (Morales Badyard Club) (8:59)-WOW! This one is steamin! The way David Morales loops Janet's moans just gives off this hard, sexy feel.

6. You Want This (E-Smoove's House Anthem) (9:51)-"You betta-you betta work it!" One of my favorite house mixes of all time. Really melodic and a huge improvement on the original, which was just noisy.

7. Anytime, Anyplace (CJ's 12" Mix) (8:18)-My favorite song from janet. gets sexier. CJ Mackintosh is a great remixer, and it's a shame we don't hear from him much today.

8. Where Are You Now (Nellee Hooper Mix) (5:22)-One of the many hip-hop mixes on the end of this release. A pretty nice version, but that beat is so cheesy.

9. 70's Love Groove (5:47)-This is a really smooth song and is great for chilling out. I love it.

10. What'll I Do (Dave Navarro Mix) (4:20)-Wow. This one is really good, except for the pitch-shifting. (Yes, this is done by Dave Navarro from Jane's Addiction.)

11. Anytime, Anyplace (R. Kelly Mix) (5:11)-Pretty slow-burning, which isn't a bad thing. I like it. A nice mellow closer.

I recommend this highly. Let's see some more remix albums from Miss J in the future! March 30, 2007

Almost Perfect...They Forgot To Add 'One More Chance'!

'janet.remixed' is a nice supplemental CD for fans who own Jackson's best selling 'janet' disc. Available only as an import, 'janet.remixed' features a stunning array of remixes, but the two B-sides ('And On & On' and '70's Love Groove') are worth the price of the CD. 'janet.remixed' could've been a 5 star CD if they included 'One More Chance', which was the B-Side to the 'If' single. I remastered my 'janet.remixed' CD to include 'One More Chance' as track #12, and there's more than enough space on the CD! Enjoy! September 24, 2006

This is it

I was always a Janet fan, had the albums went to the concerts etc.... But it wasn't till VR, I became a die hard fan! Anyway, rediscovering an artist is amazing and hearing these remixed really made me take a step back and say "whoa!"

I think the best remix on here is CJ's remix of "Anytime Anyplace," he also did "That's The WaY Love Goes." I remember someone commented on, why did Janet let CJ remix her songs. Well, he is a tight remixer, duh. CJ also remixed some songs for my other favorite artists the london based band Incognito and he pimped their single too!

Get this, because most of the singles from the "janet" era are out of print just like her earlier singles.

Now, if we could get a remix album for "Rhythym Nation," ha, like that will happen. A girl can dream right? January 6, 2006

It was alright

I saw this album in my local town shopping centre in a popular record shop and I bought it because I already had the original "Janet." album. I did not expect much from it, as it was a remix album, but I bought it anyway to support one of my favourite artists. I was not left dissapointed I must say, and i'm glad to proudly add the remixes to my Janet collection, but I must admit, I was not as fully convinced as I normally am with other Janet albums, but I wasn't really suprised.

1. That's The Way Love Goes (CJ FXTC Club Mix)- It was an okay remix, but not as good as it could've been. It deserves the merits it gets though! (3/5)

2. If (Brothers In Rhythm House Mix)- BIR have did so many house remixes in the past for other artists and they have been great! This, however, sounds completely flawless to what they normally do! Maybe it will grow on me... (3/5)

3. Because Of Love (Frankie & David Treat Mix)- Treat? Not a very good mix with not enough vocals... (2/5)

4. And On And On- Very high standards! A great 'new' (at the time of the release) track! (5/5)

5. Throb (Morales Badyard Club)- A 10-minute remix which is okay, but not as good as the original, as most of the remixes are not. (3/5)

6. You Want This (E-Smoove's House Anthem)- A better remix on the album with a rather good introduction. The track works pretty well! (4/5)

7. Any Time, Any Place (CJ's 12" Mix)- Very laid-back remix which sounds slightly like the original. The best remix on here! (5/5)

8. Where Are You Now? (Nellee Hooper Mix)- This remix may grow on me. Not one of my favourites again. I am not that fimiliar with the song either. (3/5)

9. 70's Love Groove- You'd think this was a megamix of some sort and I was rather excited. However, it was not and I was rather dissapointed. (Even though Janet was not in the music business in the 70's! They could've remixed a megamix into a 70's sound!) This track was just okay. (3/5)

10. What'll I Do (Dave Navarro Mix)- Better than the original version and most other remixes on this disc! Need I say more apart from excellent and worth listening to! (5/5)

11. Any Time, Any Place (R. Kelly Mix)- Reviewing this mix is pointless because it is some what repetitive to the CJ remix... That means it's great!... But R. Kelly is a genius! (5/5)

Overall - 3/5

Okay but not great but not at all bad! Buy the original album for even more suprises! What the album could've had: A remix of "Again". Stars on the album: "What'll I Do" remix, "Any Time, Any Place" CJ's 12" remix. April 2, 2005
