With
Supersexy Swingin' Sounds,
White Zombie offer a collection of ten remixes of songs from
Astro-Creep: 2000, plus a new mix of their cover of
KC & the Sunshine Band's "I'm Your Boogie Man" (which was originally on the Crow: City of Angels soundtrack). Not quite as experimental or dance-oriented as they would like to be,
White Zombie have always flirted with industrial and disco, but at their core they are a metal band, although one that reconfigures the kitschy pleasures of pop culture much in the vein of
the Cramps and
the B-52's.
Supersexy Swingin' Sounds isn't a bad listen, but it seems like
White Zombie are hopping on the bandwagon instead of carving out new camp territory of their own. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
