Talk On Corners (Special Edition)
Having created a worldwide sensation with their albumsForgiven, Not ForgottenandTalk on Corners, Ireland's Corrs await the hit that will break them wide open in America. To that end, the group (who've earned aRolling Stonesopeners slot) has issued a retooled version of its sophomore set, featuring five songs recast by some of Europe's hottest mixmasters, including K-Klass ("So Young"), Tin Tin ("What Can I Do?" and "Runaway," the latter song being from the group's debut), and "Dreams" (theStevie Nickssong, remixed byTodd Terry, who turnedEverything but the Girl's "Missing" into a smash). The new mixes for the most part aren't radical departures from the originals but strip away some elements, and add some spit and polish to others. "Dreams" is notable for taking the song even harder toward the dance floor without losing its appealing Celtic edge. The rest of the album is the same as the original version ofTalk on Cornersminus a few tracks, but still including their lovely version ofJimi Hendrix's "Little Wing."--Daniel Durchholz
