Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars This is a song for you.......2007-07-15

"Horn of Plenty" is an odd debut album for a band, since it was created before the band proper existed.

Instead, the first Grizzly Bear album is largely the efforts of Ed Droste, and he spreads himself over several genres -- freakfolk, pop, psychedelica and post-rock, layered together into gentle, hypnotic melodies. It's like sitting through a fuzzy, colourful dream and waking just in time for the remixes.

It opens with strange animal noises, and a reverberent hum... and a gentle guitar under a thin layer of murmuring keyboard. It sounds like someone doped Grandaddy. "I'm a deep sea diver with my fins/and underneath your current I do swim," Droste murmurs distantly. "I'm a deep sea diver losing air/and around here I'm sad swimming/you don't care..."

Things get slightly more upbeat in the gentle tripfolk of "Don't Ask" ("I fell into your arms that night/Don't ask"), before trickling into a series of fuzzy, gentle songs: exotic scratchy electropop, fluting indie-rock, ghostly ballads, lo-fi tunes that sound like they were recorded over a walkie-talkie, and shifting epics of shimmering freakfolk. It all finishes up with "This Song," a gentle guitar pop melody that may have a beat, but is as drowsy as a lullaby.

And this release has a second disc of remixed songs, which gives the mellow songs new twists -- jangling strings, a psychedelic reworking, funky dance beats, gentle electronic waves, maracas, grimy rock edges, carnival rock, hard techno, and what sounds like radio static. And these are all done by some brilliant artists -- Final Fantasy, Dntel, Ariel Pink, Efterklang, the Castanets, Alpha, Solex and Safety Scissors.

Grizzly Bear doesn't sound anything like its name would imply -- no rough edges, no rock, no wildness. Just very soothing, mellow fuzz-folk and gently lo-fi indie-postrock, which sounds like a worn-out, half-asleep freakfolker slowly drifting out to sea, in a mist of dreams. Yes, it's that endearing and pretty, but without an ounce of pretension.

Musically, it's layered like the Grand Canyon. At the core, it's made up of gentle guitar riffs and wandering acoustic melodies, but then Droste quietly weaves different sounds over it -- a haze of fuzz, ghostly synth, rattling drums, gentle keyboard melodies, some squiggling vinyl and crackling radio sounds, and a sprinkling of bells, tambourines, flutes, birdsong and other little sounds.

Droste does the same thing with his mellow, gentle, sad voice -- in "Showcase" he layers, echoes and harmonizes with himself, until it sounds like a chorus of Drostes are melting into the powerful melody. Lyrics are almost superfluous, but Droste spins a series of bittersweet songs about wishing that you hadn't lost someone ("My chest hurts a lot tonight/Maybe you can fix that... And when I walk on by, I see you waving...").

Grizzly Bear's debut album is a fuzzy, mournful little gem, and the bonus disc of remixes is pretty good too. Bittersweet, dreamlike and thoroughly enchanting.

5 out of 5 stars Sweet........2007-04-13

That first track Deep Sea Diver.
Oh man.
That is so sweet when that electric guitar comes in at the end there.
It's underwater space time...you know what I'm talking about. That sweet sweet spot.
And then the whole rest of the album.
Not a bad song on it.
I like their second album as well, but not as much...as this one.
Sounds like nothing else. Sounds like the inside of my brain.

I've had this album for a couple of years now, so I didn't get the remixes. I heard em. They're ok. A nice little treat, but the album its self...finds its way in to CD player...often.

4 out of 5 stars Yellow-House is better, but this is still good.......2007-04-07

Because this album tends to be a little more random and spacey than yellow house, I find it slightly anxiety producing, but overall I think it's a great album, but for me, only when I'm in the right mood...

5 out of 5 stars Space lines and walls.......2007-03-03

I listen to a lot of music and I listen to this album everyday...fantastic.

5 out of 5 stars Who'd have known?.......2006-02-25

It is evident within three minutes of this album that this is something special. Unlike the usual self-recorded crowd, Grizzly Bear uses their constrained space and uses it to blanket their music with a layer of aural insulation. Through these crackles through time, prepare to feel like you are in the woods. This album is one of the most moving I have found in years.

1 out of 5 stars Not Bad But A Weak Attempt.......2007-02-11

I love Depeche Mode. I have for quite a long time, and they can put out some awesome remixes. Sadly, many of their best remixes are not here.

I do hope DM intends to put out another box set like this and includes some of the remixes they left off (read: all of the remixes they left off). Disc 1 and 2 are all right, but the choice of remixes leaves MUCH to be desired. Some are standards, some are flat out crap. The bonus disc, #3, fairs a bit better. The alt "People are People" remix by Sherwood is a total waste. Better left on the cutting room floor.

Seriously, DM needs another set of remixes. This box set doesn't do them justice and will leave most fans flaccid.

One Star out of Five.

5 out of 5 stars Great music.......2007-01-10

Album Description

Vocalist Tracy Thorn and multi-instrumentalist Ben Watt began making music together as Everything But the Girl in the early '80s while students at Hull University in the U.K. By the '90s their spare-yet-sensual, jazz-inflected tunes evolved nito a richly textured fusion of pop and electronica-"Pop-Tronica"-that shimmered with diverse musical idioms. A favorite both in the clubs and with critics and aficionados, the duo's innovative sound has become iconic to the genre.

4 out of 5 stars Gorgeous Electronica to Chill With.......2006-08-01

Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn are living legends. Not since Dave Stewart and Annie Lennox were at their peak as Eurythmics has there been a stylish British duo whose music combines solid producing and songwriting skills with the spell cast by a vocalist of great individuality and power. Furthermore, at a moment in Everything But the Girl's history when most bands would have gone under or - even worse - become a living fossil imprisoned forever within the mausoleum of Adult Contemporary, EBTG chose to adapt rather than die, and along the way became one of the most widely respected and influential bands in the business. Until 1995, EBTG were no more than a cult band, known for their jazzy stylings and nostalgic evocation of a pre-rock era atmosphere of trenchcoats, Left Bank cafes and Nouvelle Vague hip (Ben Watt and Tracey Thorn are nothing if not living examples of cool hipster Euro-chic at its best). After gaining a lot of critical attention during the mid-to-late '80's jazz-pop revival, and scoring their first top 10 UK hit (a cover of Rod Stewart's "I Don't Want To Talk About It") in 1988, EBTG made the shark-jumping decision to go for US radio success. Their first album under their deal with Atlantic records (1990's "The Language of Life") remains their only major misstep, abandoning their customary sleek jazzy stylings in favor of necrotic midtempos a la Burt Bachrach and Carole Bayer Sager. Despite some airplay on the kind of radio stations targeted at suburban housewives, the record managed to alienate their older fans and wasn't particularly memorable to boot. Then, Ben Watt developed a rare bone-marrow disease and nearly died. Tracey Thorn's voice fell silent as EBTG took a hiatus which many fans feared permanent. Fortunately, 1994 brought us the deeply felt "Amplified Heart," a collection of stripped-down folk numbers which suggested a return to the fundamental roots of popular music-making (a few good songs, a great vocalist and perfect guitar play) and a fresh start. In 1995, fate intervened. A chance introduction and a newly-recovered Ben Watt's developing interest in electronic music led EBTG to producer Todd Terry's studio and a remix of an "Amplified Heart" track called "Missing." The house beats and the emotions were equally deep, and the song was an instant classic. Perhaps not since Bob Dylan abandoned his acoustic and plugged in his electric had an artist changed styles so abruptly. Overnight, EBTG went from being a little-known cult band to massive worldwide success. What could they do for an encore? And how to avoid the accusations of "selling out?" Miraculously, their follow-up record, 1996's "Walking Wounded" demonstrated Watt's new mastery of ambient and deep house chords, which - combined with Thorn's sensuous-yet-chilly-alto and the duo's basic songwriting skill - made for a powerful set and international hits like "Wrong" and "Mirrorball." EBTG had accomplished something few acts in the music business have managed to do - they changed their musical style, became worldwide successes and attracted a horde of new followers without alienating their old fans or losing critical acclaim in the process. Amazing! Although the group has been on hiatus since 1999's smash hit set, "Temperamental," Ben Watt's work as a DJ, producer and promoter has kept them current, and this remix set makes a beautiful stopgap until the long-awaited day arrives when Ben and Tracey return to the studio together. "Adapt or Die" might be subtitled. "The EBTG Story," for it demonstrates the reason for their successful transformation into an electronic act with soul. The songs here (aside from the now-inevitable "Missing" and the great "Corcovado") mostly come from "Walking Wounded" and "Temperamental," so longtime fans won't find any surprises here. The marvelous thing about this record is how fresh the songs still sound today ("Walking Wounded" is now 10 years old after all) and how relevant. Each remix puts Thorn's amazing voice front and center and never forgets (with one unfortunate exception) what makes every track click in the first place. This is first-class electronica, equally suitable to chill to or to dance to, with just the right balance between technology and soul. Highlights of this set are a gorgeous version of "Corcovado" which is impossible not to dance to, a stunning reinterpretation of "Five Fathom" and Kenny Dope's electro-jazz reimagining of "Downhill Racer." There is only one clunker on this set - an unfortunate remix of "Temperamental" which sounds like a funeral dirge and ought to have been erased the next day. Just skip over that one and let the rest of this gorgeous record flow over your spirit. For those of us wondering what EBTG will do for their next record, now that modern dance music is bigger than ever and electro-clash has come and gone, "Adapt or Die" is a great preview of coming attractions.

5 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised.......2006-06-30

Everything but the girl has never sounded so good... truly awesome remixes, if you like good modern mixing talent coupled with oldies but goodies. I especially recommend Corcovado, which I think is unlike any other I've heard before... Beautiful voice, great sounds, and a pleasant flow from song to song. A highly recommended chillout CD...

4 out of 5 stars A good dance CD that's unfortunately uneven - you'll like it but not greatly.......2006-01-08

This remix album of some of Everything But The Girl's better songs is good, albeit uneven. It does make for some pretty good dance music, though. The album starts off very strongly, but it starts to fall apart after "Corcovado". The remixes are mostly pretty well done, and on occasion even better than their original counterparts (see the first three tracks)! Singer Tracy Thorn has a pretty great voice, even if it's sort of a guilty pleasure. A good amount of people should like it, I think. This is mainly meant to be a dance album, and it somewhat succeeds in that department. I think the best way to utilize the album would be to play single tracks off of it. If you're looking for a good dance album then this will probably at least satisfy you. Recommended.

Highlights include:
"Mirrorball"
"Before Today"
"Missing"
"Corcovado" (sort of)
"Downhill Racer" (sort of)
"Single"
"Five Fathoms" (sort of)
"Temperamental" (sort of)
"Wrong"
"Driving"

5 out of 5 stars Must Have for the EBTG Collection.......2005-11-25

I recently went online to see if Everything But the Girl had released anything new since Temperamental and came across this CD. I immediately purchased and it hasn't left my car since. While granted that this a remix album, it does nothing to shortchange the absolute brilliance of EBTG. The best mix for me is Lullaby of Clubland. I think I listened to this song about 20 times in a row from the first time I heard it. The classics are also here: Missing and Wrong. It was listening to those two songs in the clubs ten years ago that first introduced me to EBTG, of which I am so eternally grateful. I recently played the Missing remix from the CD at a DJ gig I did two weeks ago and the reaction blew me away. Missing is still the quintessential club staple after all these years. EBTG rules!

5 out of 5 stars Great Remixes........2005-10-25

Remix albums are a hot thing now and Everything But The Girl were definitely in line to release their own remixes on an album. I am always first in line to purchase any remix album that comes out and this release is definitely worth it. It contains some awesome tracks and EBTG are definitely one of the artists from the 90's that wont be forgotten. Especially since they re-released a Todd Terry remix of the massive pop club track Missing. Of course on this release they don't have the Todd Terry remix of Missing but a rare unreleased CL McSpadden Powerhouse Mix. The remix definitely takes me back to 1995 when club and house music were exploding and this track was definitely one of the songs to help do that. I especially love the Knee Deep Remix/Ben Watt Vocal Re-Edit of Corcovado. It's got that hot Latin House vibe going for it and it definitely gets the groove going. The DJ Jazzy Jeff Sole Full Remix of Mirrorball has been given that extra deep downtempo beat to make for a laidback soulful remix. It's originally a great track and this version has definitely improved upon how wonderful it is. Kevin Yost's Everything And A Groove Mix of Five Fathoms is just remix perfection. I originally had this remix on the CD single and it was refreshing to definitely to hear it again. I like the way they have broken down with the remixes and they include both very upbeat ones and laidback ones as well. Lastly it's excellent to end the CD with an acoustic version of Driving. I great touch to an awesomely produced CD. Worth it for any fan of remixes.

Unlike most single-artist remix albums, J to tha L-O! actually has a purpose beyond raking in cash from fans. The best of these cuts brings much-needed weight to the often-weak writing, vocals, and production that mar Jennifer Lopez's two previous multiplatinum albums. The prize, of course, is her duet with Ja Rule on "I'm Real," but the other highlights (a Rodney Jerkins reworking of his own "If You Had My Love," P. Diddy's "Feelin' So Good") follow along similar hip-hop/R&B lines. Her stabs at street cred aren't always as successful; the 12-letter curse she employs on the Sack International Remix of "Play" is a good deal less than convincing. Generic house rhythms don't do anything for "Let's Get Loud" and "Walking on Sunshine." Finally, the new, tacked-on ballad "Alive," cowritten by the superstar, begins like "I Honestly Love You" but quickly proves itself a new "Greatest Love of All," filled with blind self-love. It's hard to tell if there's even anyone else in the room, or if she's just singing to a mirror. --Rickey Wright

Paula worked with janet jackson in the mid 80's and appeared in her videos, J LO worked with janet in the mid 90's and appeared in a video of hers. Paula Abdul tried her hand at music in the late 80's as a dance-diva and J LO did the same thing in the late 90's. Both of their debut albums Forever Your Girl and On the 6 sold well, and better than their follow up albums. Early 1991, Paula Abdul released Spellbound and early 2001 J LO released J LO. Both of them had strong first singles and their albums fell off the charts pretty fast although both managed to reach 3 million(instead of 8 million and 5 million like their debuts) and have a lot of hits from their albums. Let's not forget to mention that paula briefly did acting as well and J LO is also an actress. This Is Me Again didn't make a dent in the charts and Rebirth was the final nail in the coffin in 2005, just like paula's Head Over Heels. The first single from their final albums both had good videos(My Love Is For Real & Get Right) but by then it was too late and the public already had enough of them. I expect to see J LO release a compilation album by 2010 and appearing as a host or something 10 years from now.

1 out of 5 stars J to tha L-O the Remixes.......2007-01-03

I paid for this product along with the another items Janet Jacksons Design of a Decade and never recieved either. I am very dissapointed and will never order from Amazon again.

4 out of 5 stars The only J. Lo album worth having..........2006-10-14

Let's face it people: Jennifer Lopez's music isn't about talent, it's about the production. Therefore, a J. Lo remix CD is a good idea because most remix CDs are about production, and that is J. Lo's strong point. This CD is hot and way better than any of her studio albums, and every song improves upon the original version. For hip-hop heads, you got the remixes to "Love Don't Cost a Thing", "Ain't It Funny", "I'm Gonna Be Allright", "I'm Real", and "Feelin' So Good", which is my favorite of the hip-hop flavored tracks. The best tracks though are the ones remixed house/trance-style: "Walking On Sunshine" and "Waiting For Tonight" in particular are both fabulous. And I really like Darkchild's remix of "If You Had My Love." He produced the original too, but he brings something catchier and bouncier to the remix. The downside to this disc, if you want to call it that, is that J. Lo really takes the side stage because the remixers are the stars of the album. I don't personally mind this though, because I am not a Jennifer Lopez fan per say, just a fan of good dance music, which this is. Oh, and that ballad "Alive" does not gel with the rest of the album, so I do not feel it belongs here.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect soundtrack to Summer 2007.......2007-07-18

Open Your Box is the second of two Yoko Ono remix CDs under the moniker of Ono. The first CD Yes, I'm A Witch gathered a broad range of musical talents to reinterpret her songs creating an eclectic mix of tracks from Peaches electroclash take on Kiss Kiss Kiss to Antony Hegarty's dreamy Toy Boat to Hank Shocklee's short but sweet Witch Shocktronica Intro. Most, but not all, of the remixes work pretty well (Cat Power and Porcupine Tree come to mind as the weaker tracks) with the dancier tracks being the standouts.

Open Your Box, released a few months after Witch, takes its cue from Witch's dancier tracks by being a disc full of non stop incredibly cool dance remixes from more high profile artists like Pet Shop Boys, Basement Jaxx, Felix da Housecat and Danny Tenaglia.

The sound samples will not give you an idea of what to expect because these are multi layered tracks that build up over the duration of the track. The music in and of itself is pretty much your garden variety Euro house that you would hear at your local gay bar but what transcends it is the juxtaposition of Ono's unique voice and vocal stylings over a pulsating pounding beat. Yes, Yoko is not the world's best singer but I enjoy the sincerity in her voice which makes it work really, really well. And her voice will surprise you. It's really not as bad as so many people make it out to be.

The opener, You're the One is one of the highlights for me and is lovely and heartfelt especially when Yoko's voice cracks as she sings "How do I teeellllll you? You're the one."

Another highlight is Peter Rauhofer's Hell In Paradise remix. The start of my love affair with Yoko began with this song when I saw the video for it years ago in the early 80s. What makes this remix so wonderful is once Yoko's sings her vocals over a pulsating trance beat there's this added disco diva chorus that repeats the main chorus of the track. Hard to explain but it's exactly the kind of stuff you want to hear when you're all sweaty and half naked on the dance floor.

Give Me Something is yet another highlight. There's this break in the middle of the song and in a call and response style Yoko sings, "Give me something!" as a male vocal answers "Yoko wants!" It gets even better when Yoko's voice echoes, "Give me something . . . hard...hard...hard...cold...cold...cold. . ."

Possibly my favorite track of the entire disc is the Pet Shop Boy's Walking On Thin Ice remix. I am not a fan of PSB but they do wonders with this remix. I get goosebumpy and teary eyed when Yoko sings, "When our bodies turn to ashes it will be just a stor-or-or-ory." Even her primal scream yelping is pitch perfect with this remix.

The only track that doesn't work for me is DJ Dan's Give Peace A Chance remix. I don't think it's possible to turn that song into a dance track without it coming off cheesy.

Open Your Box is the perfect summer CD and was the perfect soundtrack for me and my buds during gay pride as well. Everyone I have played this for either loved it right from the start or reluctantly succumbed to it charms. I used to love Yoko Ono but now I totally worship her. Yoko, you need to get into the studio ASAP and record a disc full of original house music. It will work. I would definitely buy it.

5 out of 5 stars If you like club music, get this NOW!.......2007-07-05

This is an incredible CD. The mixes are all great/good. Her vocals are unique to say the least, but that sets her apart from the generic dance diva.

5 out of 5 stars Amazing remixes for great classics.......2007-06-08

I love Yoko and I love electronic music, so I can only love this CD.

5 out of 5 stars Ono - Open Your Box.......2007-05-20

Excellent remixes! Bimbo Jones' catchy 'You're The One" will get you moving as will the unexpected "I Don't Know Why" by Sapphirecut. DJ Dan's mix of "Give Peace a Chance" brings a smile as well. Peter Rauhofer also did an excellent job with "Hell In Paradise".
Although the shortened remixes of "Walking on Thin Ice" and "Everyman Everywoman" are appreciable, it would have been nice to hear some more 'new' remixes instead of what has already been released. Nonetheless, it is very listenable!

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding Remix/Dance album.......2007-05-09

Wow, this is great stuff. I can agree with critics who say Yoko is not a great singer, but she is a great artist, and these remixes produced by a wide variety of dance floor wizards really knock me out. If you like to dance, and the artists who created the remixes appeal, then get this album. Guaranteed to get you out on the floor! Open Your Box, indeed!

I don't have this collection. However, I like a lot of the songs from it & I ABSOLUTELY love the new single, "And Then We Kiss". It's awesome. I have heard it only once outside of my house - it was played in a club. It's seductive, it's techno, & it's just amazing! I love Britney Spears...

THE FIRST TIME I POPPED IN THIS CD I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS HORRIBLE ANDD THAT SHE COULD DO MUCH BETTER BUT THEN I PUT THIS CD IN AGAIN RECENTLY AND DECIDED THAT I LOVED IT, THE REMIXES ARE GREAT THE TOXIC REMIX IS A REAL TREAT I EVEN LIKE THIS REMIX OF TOXIC ALMOST BETTER THEN I LIKE THE PRIGINAL SONG! SO THIS CD IS A MUST BUY FOR BRITNEY FANS!

3 out of 5 stars Not really that great.......2006-04-19

Although its quite okay. I think that britney needs to divorce Kelvin. He is just bringing her life down the drain. He is such a rat. She needs to get over him and realise that he is what is making her unhappy. Go BRITNEY!!!

As artists such as saxophonist Steve Coleman have demonstrated, mining or creating connections between bebop and hiphop can be an exhilarating exercise. But juxtaposing hiphop beats on bebop classics, with the drums nakedly on top, also can yield banal results through the marring of rhythmic schemes that were more cutting and challenging in their original form. Re-Bop: The Savoy Remixes, on which name remixers were recruited to make sonic hay with one of jazz's prized catalogs, is by and large a successful intermingling of forms. Eclipse's ruthless minimalism with Milt Jackson's vibes on the Modern Jazz Quartet's "Movin' Nicely" and DJ Spooky's wilful, episodic breakdown of Charlie Parker's "KoKo" are as entrancing as they are adrenalizing. Saint Etienne's electronics on Charlie Parker's "Yardbird Suite" (as recorded by Herbie Mann) take the song intriguingly out of its element while DJ Smash's Middle Eastern effects on Duke Ellington's "Caravan" (as recorded by Dizzy Gillespie) take it further into its element. On the other hand, King Britt's busy, gussied-up "Speakeasy" treatment of "Lover Man," as sung by Sarah Vaughan with Dizzy Gillespie, is a disservice to the great singer and Ali Shaheed Muhammad's vocal and instrumental gamesmanship on Curtis Fuller's "Five Spot After Dark"  deprives the tune of its charm. One hopes listeners will go back and listen to these songs in their un-remixed state, as featured on the companion set, Re-Bop: The Savoy Originals. But that demographic bridge may be harder to cross than the stylistic one. --Lloyd Sachs

Album Description

Re: Bop-The Savoy Remixes features some of the greatest samplers and remix producers of the modern era, brilliantly remixing revolutionary tracks from the classic Savoy Jazz catalog. The result is a coming together of innovators from two generations-the original bebop pioneers and the original hip hop and dance music masters.

Customer Reviews:

3 out of 5 stars Bleah.......2007-05-09

Just for the record: I know what I'm getting into when I buy a remixed album of classics. I know nothing will replace the originals, nor am I looking for them to be replaced. What I AM looking for are new, entertaining and fun twists on the originals.

I did not get that with Re-Bop, even after a couple spins to let the grooves marinate. I found this collection to be mediocre, at best. It's not good, it's not bad. Just decent background music with a nice groove. But nothing at all stands out to me here.

Well, almost nothing. The thing I noticed most was how dated some of these remixes sound. It's like all of these songs were done with mid-90's style beats and techniques. I love mid-90's music, especially from the R&B scene. But a 10 year old sound ain't old enough to be "retro" enough to be considered hip. With an album like Re-Bop we'd expect a truly fresh sound, at least with vibes from this millenium.

Great concept, so-so execution. Maybe Re-Bop II (if there is such a thing in the works) will find the opportunities that this set missed along the way.

4 out of 5 stars Nice Variety.......2007-01-16

Most cuts were a nice mix of the original loops and the modern mix.

4 out of 5 stars Great from the right angle.......2006-11-20

I approached this CD with a different perspective than most, being a movement theatre (dance?) teacher in a high school. I'm always searching for music that is accessible to young people and yet challenges them, and for that, this CD is perfect. Probably a bit more accessible to the electronic-music lover than the jazz lover, still many tracks on this CD capture and translate the mood of the original pieces of music. I particularly like the "Minor Vamp" and "Night in Tunisia" cuts.

There are tons of tracks on this CD that are perfect to slip into a more traditional dance party for a change of pace. It's the kind of thing that my friends always end up asking about if they hear even one song.

One last note- I also own the Reich Remixed CD, another similar attempt, except with minimalist music instead of jazz - and the Savoy Remixes is BY FAR the better CD. This made me want to explore the original recordings, where the Reich Remix CD was almost without exception dull and/or irritating and discouraged exploration.

4 out of 5 stars Great if you know what you are getting into.......2006-11-07

A lot of people review these remix CD's with remorse that they are no longer as good as the origionals. If you are expecting a classic jazz lover's treatment of your favorite songs do not buy this CD! If, on the other hand you love to hear reworkings and new spin on old standbys this is an excellent album. There are a couple duds (such as the opening song "Movin' Nicely") which rather repetitive and some of them hide the original song underneath all the new remixing. On the other hand some tracks like "Night in Tunisia" and "Minor Vamp" integrate the old track into new grooves like nothing you have ever heard before. I would buy the CD based on these tracks alone. Then, as an added bonus you get songs such as "Caravan" (probably my favorite), "Night and Day" (a close second) and "Loverman" which take the original and enhance it. These gems are what the original writers would have made them sound like had they had the technology (and the audience).

If you are an open-minded jazz lover or simply someone who loves a good groove buy this CD today.

4 out of 5 stars An odd mish-mosh of mixes...some collectibles..........2006-06-20

This bizarre compilation could probably have benefited from a 2 disc set, considering some of their dance chart hits and mixes were left off and I believe a couple of these mixes are edits...I know for sure "Thrill Me" has about a half a minute shaved off. And the inclusion of the Club 69 DUB of "Ain't That a Lot of Love" is a HUGE disappointment, considering the vocal mix has never surfaced on CD as far as I know. Then there's the inclusion of a later house mix of Money's Too Tight and not the original 12" (although, this version is very hot). I'm sure other's might have some gripes about some of the song selection, but I think everyone could have been happy if the label had really gone for it and given us a 2-disc set. Track times:

5 out of 5 stars Quality-pops and clicks etc Human League remixes.......2007-07-02

While there are some pops and clicks on some of these recordings it is not because the recording source is suspect it is because the tracks that have those artifacts where created back between 1981 and 83 when samplers where hugely expensive- hard to get and didnt have much memory at all- the way the producer created most of the non stop unlimited remixes was with a
good old razor blade and tape. A skill that is dieing off. The producer- Martin Rushent- has been said that most of these remixes had SO MANY cuts and edits in the original tape that many times it could only be run through the machine once or twice before it would disintegrate!!! Be glad that these are availible as many many other great artists from the best period of new music (late 70's early to mid 80's) are still not on CD and possibly never will be. While the record companies pump out tons of garbage that has no right to be released tons of great stuff will sit in vaults- people that would spend good money will wait forever- point in case the first two albums (1980 and 81) by Polyrock. They where FINALLY just released on a small label and you had better snatch them up while you can cause the value of them will skyrocket just like the double CD of The Producers(the New Wave-Power Pop band not the remade movie) albums- they where released on a small label on cd and now less then 9 years later they are fetching 80 bucks or so!!

4 out of 5 stars shaking my head in disappointment.......2006-07-21

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY (Six Times) did they fade out the end of the Fascination remix!!!!!???? This was one of the primary reasons I wanted this CD! The genius of that remix was WAY ahead of its time, and they RUINED IT!

WHY CAN'T THEY LEAVE THINGS ALONE!?!?!?!

4 out of 5 stars Human League..........2006-01-21

Personally, I've always wanted an extended version of Human, as the regular single is under 4 minutes. The version of the song on this collection is 5:05. I do like it. I just wish it was 10 minutes longer. Guess I'll have to get software and figure how to extend it (or just loop it with RealPlayer V.10!). The rest of the mixes on this CD are also good.

Could it have been better? Sure. But as I paid under $8US for the disk, I have absolutely no complaints and feel that I got my money's worth! Four stars!
