On this remix album, 10 producers and DJs sink their teeth into her meaty catalogue ”“ with predictably uneven results. Stuart Price gives ”˜Paparazzi’ a breezy shuffle that diffuses the track’s gritty tension, Marilyn Manson roars unnecessarily on ”˜Lovegame,’ and Glam as You add a bloopy bounce to one of Gaga’s coolest grooves, ”˜The Fame.’ Passion Pit do the most effective surgery on ”˜Telephone,’ sliding arcade synths under Chipmunks-speed vocals ”“ a makeover beautiful and grotesque enough to earn Gaga’s seal of approval.
Key Tracks: ”˜Telephone,’ ”˜The Fame’
