This is a pretty darn good remix of What Is This Thing Called Love, the Keely Smith jazz classic by Mocean Worker. It’s starts pretty upbeat and gets into frenetic territory. Not in a bad way but in a pretty darn good way. This remix is off of the Electro Lounge 2 disc which has music by other jazz legends including Julie London, Les Baxter, Martin Denny among others. Mocean Worker was the perfect person to do this remix and this remix definitely sounds like some of the stuff he’s done on his own albums so it turns out to be a winning remix here. The original What Is This Thing Called Love song by Keely Smith is on the Swingin’ Pretty album. Both below.
So if you are at all into the Verve Remixed series I would hunt this disc down as some of the remixes on here are pretty darn good. It’s out of print now but I’m sure you can still find at amazon or other places that sell used music.
