Young Punx, The - You've Got To...

The Young Punx's single, "You've Got To", is a really cool song that has somewhat of a "Rockefeller Skank" - like feel due to the surfer guitar. What's also interesting is that there aren't any samples in the song: the music and vocals are original.

Soul Seekerz Edit/Remix: Good remix with a futuristic feel to the music. The edit's really chopped down from the 6 minute version for the radio edit. I'd prefer the original edit. 3.5/5

Norman Cook Edit/Mix: Leave it to Norman to once again make an amazing remix. Using a sample from Mau Chao (sp?), he makes his own version of the song, containing his usual style of stutters and 303s. The edit is a shorter version without some breaks, it's pretty good. It's a hard decision to decide if this is better than the original, because this is great! 5/5

Original Edit: Once again, a cool song with great music. Surfer guitar plus the Punx's style make a great single. 5/5

Dopeheadz Dub: Nice dub, using a bit of the song's vocals along the smooth beat. 4/5

Fembot Funk Mix: If there's the word "funk" in the title, it has to be good. So I'm correct, it is good, mixing some rock with the electronic funky beat. Along with Norman's Mix, the best mix on the album. 5/5

Bottom Line: This is a great CD of Mixes, not a disappointment in the bunch. If you like Young Punx or the single, pick it up.
