Product Description
From Amazon.com
Having created a worldwide sensation with their albums Forgiven, Not Forgotten and Talk on Corners, Ireland's Corrs await the hit that will break them wide open in America. To that end, the group (who've earned a Rolling Stones openers slot) has issued a retooled version of its sophomore set, featuring five songs recast by some of Europe's hottest mixmasters, including K-Klass ("So Young"), Tin Tin ("What Can I Do?" and "Runaway," the latter song being from the group's debut), and "Dreams" (the Stevie Nicks song, remixed by Todd Terry, who turned Everything but the Girl's "Missing" into a smash). The new mixes for the most part aren't radical departures from the originals but strip away some elements, and add some spit and polish to others. "Dreams" is notable for taking the song even harder toward the dance floor without losing its appealing Celtic edge. The rest of the album is the same as the original version of Talk on Corners minus a few tracks, but still including their lovely version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing." --Daniel Durchholz
Product Description
Formed in 1990, The Corrs are a multi-skilled Irish group comprising three sisters and a brother who each play a variety of modern and traditional instruments. Their second album, Talk On Corners, fuses pop, rock and Irish folk to produce an accessible musical mix. More melancholic but also more streetwise than their first album, three of the tracks on the album have been remixed by some of the most influential dance producers of the late 1990s. Their punchy, remixed cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" appeals equally to teenager clubbers and their parents. Combined with traditional instrumental track such as "Paddy McCarthy" and more dreamy vocal compositions such as "Only When I Sleep" and "Hopelessly Addicted", this album truly provides something for everyone. --John Galilee

The Best Corrs album so far,
By Michael (Rome) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talk on Corners (Audio CD)
This is, by far, the best work of the Corrs. The latest release, In Blue, is good but disappointing after this album. There are so many songs included here that have excellent lyrics and melodies. Many have that simple 'hook' that makes you want to listen to them over and over again. If you have to buy just one Corrs CD, I recommend this above all.

Pure Desecration,
By A Customer
This review is from: Talk on Corners (Audio CD)
For some unearthly reason, it was decided by some genius that the Corrs' excellent original material needed to be "re-mixed", which is nothing more than a catchphrase meaning "defaced". Taking good material and overlaying it with phony synthesized rhythm tracks is about as artistic as spray-painting a Van Gogh. The cretins responsible for this mess should be profoundly ashamed of themselves, and should never be allowed to darken another recording studio. The originals of these songs are superb, but these so-called remixes are pure garbage.

Not the original, but the Corrs make it good,
By Vilbs "vilbs" (Montreal) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Talk on Corners (Audio CD)
Despite all the complaints about this being inferior to the original release (and ok, it is... a little) it's still a great Corrs album, and the only version you could really find in the states. The main difference, aside from some song changes, is in the increased pop style of the production which takes away a bit from their Celtic sound. Compared to your average pop though.. man does this sound good.With gems like "Only When I Sleep", "What Can I Do", "Queen of Hollywood", "So Young", and "Hopelessley Addicted", what can you really complain about? They do keep some of the Celtic sound, especially on songs like the instrumental "Paddy McCarthy", "I Never Loved You Anyway" and the remake of "Runaway" from their debut. They even do a very passable rendition of Stevie Nicks "Dreams", successfully pushing it towards the dance floor. The sisters sound great, and this is a very enjoyable pop album with that Celtic feel that made their debut album such a smash. (also reccomended) The Corrs are still up and coming artists, and although I wasn't terribly impressed with "In Blue", I have to believe they've got some great music left to make.
