Shania Twain - Up!

Our CD collection is well over 200 discs now, but nowadaysrecent additions are usually bought by other family members. Recently I came across this one. Now it doesn't get a recommendation as "CD of the week/month", but it is worth a mention as an interesting academic exercise.

The double album contains the same tracks on both CD's, the first having an "electric/rock" mix and the second a "groove/rhythmic" feel. Apparently there are also country and western mixes on her website, but I'm not that curious. Of course there are tracks that work well in both mixes, some work well only with one mix, and others that could have been left out completely.

Anyway, I found the album an interesting exercise, as a music boffin (or snob, if you like). Even so, I'm not going to put a track on the blog, so if you want to hear one try launch.yahoo.com, or similar music sites.
