简介:  A scant two months after her brilliant collaborative project Yes, I'm a Witch, comes Open Your Box. Yoko Ono is one hip septuagenarian. This collection of remixes takes Ono's vocal tracks from her (in)famous recorded catalog right to the dancefloor. The result is as close to spectacular as it gets. Some of the contributors here include Basement Jaxx, the Pet Shop Boys, DJ Dan, Felix da Housecat, Orange Factory, and Superchumbo, just to name-drop a few. That said, there are no less than three remixes of "Walking on Thin Ice," by Felix, Danny Tenaglia, and the Pet Shop Boys. It's the first one that evokes the true nature of the tune as a grief-stricken paean to the assassinated John Lennon. Ono's voice barely sails above the synth bass and double-time chunka chunka guitar samples. Washes of taut keyboards and percussion loops are layered in, offering a sense of tension and dislocation.
