This EP’s remixes do a fine job of rehabilitating Madonna’s largely ignored American Life album. Jason Nevins supplies a powerful mix of the moving "Nothing Fails" that deserves to be the hit that returns the superstar to saturation play, while versions of "Love Profusion" and "Nobody Knows" suggest that these songs, too, haven’t been given enough credit as the minor late-Madonna classics they are. "American Life" itself takes on new wattage with this literally bangin’ hard-rock remix. "Your Honesty," an outtake from the disc’s sessions, recalls a number of superior Madonna dance tracks; its you’re-good-for-me sentiment is believably sweet. The MTV Video Music Awards medley works less well as a merely audio artifact than it did on-screen with that kiss, while one hopes that the next time Missy Elliott collaborates with Madonna, it yields a more substantial result than this CD’s slight remake of "Into the Groove." --Rickey Wright
