Mylene Farmer - RemixeS (2003)

During the summer of 2001, it was rumoured that Farmer and her associates were preparing a new album of remixes, itself of interest as it followed the previous remix album Dance Remixes by ten years. Universal decided to produce a CD with 11 remixes produced by French and international famous DJs and remixers. The album was officially announced in July 2003, to be entirely composed of original remixes, an idea not entirely appreciated by all Farmer's fans: some thought that the old hits should not be remixed, while others found that the idea of remixing Farmer's successes by the most famous DJs was brilliant.
In fact, this album is not really a compilation, as although the original versions were already released as singles the remixes were, in general, then unknown to the public. The artistic direction of this album was given to Paul Van Parys, Jerome Devoise and Henry Neu. It was produced at Studios Guillaume Tell, which had already been used for the remix of "C'est une belle journée", by Devil Head. Farmer asked her sister, Brigitte Gautier, to design the cover, which she produced using a photo from a 2001 book about Farmer, recolouring it to fit the theme. While the whole was produced by Polydor, the record labels Stuffed Monkey and Requiem Publishing didn't participate in this album.
The very first run of this album was slightly high, with just 200,000 copies. It was originally planned that the album is marketed throughout Europe, the United States and Canada.
Other remixes had been originally planned, but have not featured on the album: "Sans contrefaçon" and "Pourvu qu'elles soient douces" by Jaïa and Gabriel Masurel (Blue Planet Corporation), "Maman a tort" by Joachim Garraud, and a remix of "Vertige".
