It's rare that I hear so many official remixes of a song I like (and a dance-oriented song at that) that miss the mark for me. Unfortunately, this is the case with Andy Bell's "Crazy" single. Half of the duo Erasure, Bell released "Crazy" as a single off his solo album, Electric Blue. The song itself is great, as evidenced by the original radio edit present on this single; however, not all of the mixes are able to capture that. Many interfere with the deep emotion of the track in the name of the dance floor, or at least, such is my perception of the first three MHC mixes and the King Roc remix. Thankfully, all is not lost on this disc. The Cicada vocal remix is decent, and the Vince Clarke remix is actually quite good. Curiously, the MHC Master mix is also decent, despite the relative blah-ness of the other MHC mixes.
