 BBC - Dance Review - Junkie XL, Radio JXL
But having a chart topper in 26 counties does have its rewards, most notably the ability to attract a plethora of artists to guest on your album.
I think personally that JXL's greatest qualities lies in producing movie soundtrack content, which he is absolutely marvellous at (eg Animatrix OST).
As a club runner, however, JXL works best in laid-back environments, mixing a multi-cultural sound cocktail which blends perfectly in with the mingle of the guests.

This brilliant remix is bass-heavy and the vocals are up front, loud and clear, while the chick chorus echoes him so delightfully with “satisfy me” and the King's vocals respond with greater intensity and ever more urgency.
JXL deserves a medal for his inspired blend of sounds that in no way detracts from the style of the living King.
The song in its original form is still as excellent as it ever was however some of the sampling at the start of the JXL version is uneven and the percussion is the most un-imaginative thing I have ever heard.

 RollingStone.com: Junkie XL : JXL Exhumes Elvis, Scores X-Box : News
Dutch DJ Tom Holkenberg -- better known as Junkie XL, or JXL -- is just back from Ibiza, where the British dance scene vacations every summer, and it's safe to say his gigs there were exponentially bigger than prior years.
And the song's new version will also be included on the upcoming Elvis' 30 #1 Hits collection, due out this fall from BMG to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death.
The chance to be involved in something historically important was part of the reason Holkenberg agreed to change his stage name from Junkie XL to JXL for the project, as per a request from Presley's estate.

 BBC Manchester - Music - Elvis v JXL - A Little Less Conversation
It's difficult to see how you can add to the genius of the original, but JXL (thankfully dropping his usual tag of Junkie XL out of respect for the Vegas Fatboy) has twisted it, brought up the beats, added a few echoes here and there, and polished gold until it shines.
Chris Long your review Sucks (in places), but yes...Elvis vs JXL is a great version of the #1 song..10/10 to Elvis and Tom Holkenborg (AKA Junkie XL) (thats extreme limits).....
In an era where mindless remixes and revivals thrive -- "A Little Less Conversation" is definitely a refreshing change, thanks to JXL and the king himself for a superb mix.

I've been a huge Junkie XL fan since 'Saturday Teenage Kick' (JXL's first album) was released and the follow up album 'Big Sounds of the Drags' only strengthened my love with the band.
The track resembled nothing He'd done (JXL is made up of one man, Tom Holkenborg) before and was in my opinion a poppy dance remix of an already excellent tune that added nothing to neither the rock & roll or dance genres.
The mixtures of vocals keep the album suitably varied and fresh and although the sound is a world away from the big beats of STK the tracks are unmistakeably JXL.

Disc 2, in contrast, is a fluid DJ mix that plays smoothly from beginning to end.
