King Brain, Chrissie Hynde - Tube and Berger: Straight Ahead

As Catchy As A Cold

As catchy as a cold "Straight On" benefits from the immediately recognizable vocal talents of Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders. The synthesizers are a little odd, almost reminiscent of some of the things the Human League used to do, but they don't distract from the track's flat-out danceability. It's nice to see Chrissie back on the charts again too, but somewhat sad her vocals are absent from almost all the remixes as that would be a huge bonus. What a strange video too! June 8, 2006

Great dance track- not enough Chrissie Hynde!

I am giving this a 3 star review even though I like most of the mixes. The problem is that it supposed to feature the vocals of Chrissie Hynde from The Pretenders and she is featured on just 1 on the full 12" mixes. This song hit number 4 club and number 1 dance airplay on Billboard and the majority of attention was on Ms. Hynde doing club music. Oh well- there are a lot of mixes to still choose from.
1- Radio Edit (2:45)- Full on Chrissie
2- Geradeaus Mix (Radio Edit)- 3:31 (German Vocals!!!!)
3- Extended Version (6:04)- only Full vocal 12" of Chrissie!!!
4- Robbie Rivera Juicy Dub (7:27)- most club worthy track.
5- Tom Neville Remix (7:19)- some Chrissie vocals.
6- Tom Neville Dub (6:40)
7- Geradeaus Extended Mix (7:25)
8- Geradeaus Instrumental Mix (7:25)
9- Geradeaus Padapella Mix (5:59)
10- Chrissie's Acapella (:42)
11- Computer Girl Acapella (:27)
12- Geradeaus Acapella Edit (:28)
Not bad but still it would have been better if some of the remixes had more full vocals to choose from. July 30, 2004
