Re-mix-a Spektor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re-mix-a Spektor, released in 2005, is the second album by Pretty Balanced. It's a cover album, and consists of a number of Regina Spektor covers, an Eric Whitacre cover, an alternate version of a previously-released Pretty Balanced song, and an original Pretty Balanced/Liberty Tax song.[1]

Re-mix-a Spektor includes the songs Ode to Divorce and Chemo Limo from Spektor's album "Soviet Kitsch," Hero of the Story and Just Like the Movies from her unreleased demo album "Demo Cassette," and the unreleased Dance Anthem of the 80s. It also includes Eric Whitacre's arrangement of Octavio Paz's poem A Boy and a Girl, which appears on Whitacre's "Cloudburst and Other Choral Works."

The album includes a dance version of Hyphen, which was originally released on Pretty Balanced's Free Public Consumption, and later on Icicle Bicycle, and Street Voice, billed as a collaboration between Pretty Balanced, and Forest Christenson's electronic side-project, The Liberty Tax.
