The aptly named remix collection We Are Glitter takes the singles from Goldfrapp`s glam-tastic Supernature in a variety of directions, courtesy of remixers such as the Flaming Lips, Ewen Pearson, and M?m. About half of the reworkings take the songs in an even more dancefloor-oriented direction; the best of these, such as T. Raumschmiere`s mix of "Lovely 2 C U" and the DFA`s hyper-percussive take on "Slide In," offer a distinctive spin on the originals without obliterating them completely. The other half of We Are Glitter gives these songs more eclectic makeovers: in the Flaming Lips` hands, "Satin Chic" becomes a show tune from an interstellar musical, while C2`s remix of "Fly Me Away" gives the song an urgency and edge that the album version lacked. M?m`s spun-sugar, music box-like revamp of "Number 1" turns the song into a fairy tale lullaby that makes it another standout. Goldfrapp`s own drums and guitar-heavy We Are Glitter remix of "Strict Machine" is a bonus track and a welcome addition for die-hard fans who had all of these remixes on the singles already. ~ Heather Phares
