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.

Great music.......2007-01-10

This was another Christmas gift to my friend who loves Depeche Mode. All of these remixes are fantastic. I highly recommend this to any fan of this group.

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.

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.

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...

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"

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!

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.

Customer Reviews:

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.

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.

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...

Space lines and walls.......2007-03-03

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

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.

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

I really enjoyed this cd a lot. I liked the different spin put on each of the songs. It was fun to hear slightly amped up versions of her famous hits. Plus I liked the fact that there was no censorship on this cd. I'd encourage all die hard Jennifer fans to get this one. You will be glad you did.

just like another paula abdul.......2007-01-08

her career is so similar to paula abdul it's not even funny! Both started out dancing. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing remixes for great classics.......2007-06-08

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

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!

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!

Great Sound From Ono! .......2007-05-02

I've been familiar with Ono's work in the dance music genre for some time now, I have purchased her singles of Yang Yang and Walking on Thin Ice (which i heard in an episode of Queer as Folk) so I was particularly excited to see a compilation of all of her remixed hits. Her voice, although quirky, works very well with this type of music. The musical styles range from smooth house, electro, progressive house to big room sounds. The only disappointment I had was that all tracks are only edits which makes them harder to mix with, other than that, I highly reccomend.

Album Description

The popularity of The Human League never seems to wane, with constant sell-out tours and festival appearances (Homelands and Big Gay Out in 2005). 2005 saw the League back on a 16-date tour of the UK in November. To coincide with their touring activities, a collection of original 12-inch remixes of their most popular tracks are features, many of which have not been on CD before - such as the full unedited versions of 'The Sound Of The Crowd', 'Open Your Heart' and 'The Lebanon'. Additionally, 'Love Action' and 'Hard Times Instrumental 12-inches were only previously available on a CD single, and the rest of the tracks (bar the Extended Electric Dreams which came out on the reissued Oakey & Moroder CD reissue) are currently only to be found as bonus tracks on various US and International pressings. EMI. 2005.

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!!

AWESOME!!.......2007-04-10

Love this group and love that they've stuck together over the years. Great stuff.

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!?!?!?!

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!

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:

1. fairground (5:33)
2. holding back the years (5:41)
3. it's only love (5:46)
4. the right thing (5:34)
5. ain't that a lot of love (6:36)
6. money's too tight (7:24)
7. Jericho (6:01)
8. come to my aid (5:03)
9. thrill me (5:26)
10. your eyes (4:41)
11. love has said goodbye again (5:14)

French-Algerian DJ Chebi i. Sabbah's sequel to his celebrated La Kahena features 11 tracks rhythmically re-imagined by some of today's brightest turntablists and producers. Sabbah's son, Elijah Opium, injects "Sadats: Les Filles de Marrakech Remix" with an infectious rap by the group Fnaire, while more Moroccan homeboys, Tahar and Farid, provide their tonal two-cents on the same material on "Sadats: The Sufi Sonic Remix." Sandeep Kumar drops some bhangra science on "Toura Toura: The Nav Deep Remix," and the Japanese "Zen dub" DJ Makyo brings his Nippon nuances to "Madh Assalhin: The Zen Breaks Remix." Lablemate Gaurav Raina of Midival Punditz provides the tantric timbre on "Im Ninalou: The Groovio Deep End Remix." More sonic spices from Bill Laswell, Bassnectar, The Chackadoons, and Yossi "Ex-Centric" Fine complete the reincarnation of Sabbah's tracks by these superior scientists of sound. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Album Description

For his 2005 release, La Kahena, Algerian born Cheb i Sabbah returned to his North African roots. Collaborating with a wide variety of North African female singers, Sabbah created contemporary folklore, rich with the authenticity of trance ceremonies filtered through the magic of his trademark production skills. La Kahena garnered both criticdal acclaimed worldwide and retail success, reaching #6 on the Billboard World Charts. Now, the morphing and mixing continues as Sabbah has personally selected a team of eleven remixers to further evolve and transform the music on La Ghriba: La Kahena Remixed, a landmark in today's electronica movement. La Ghriba cements Cheb i Sabbah's legacy as a pioneer and visionary in the exciting, fast-changing world of trance global music as an artist and as a producer. Temple of Sound, Bill Laswell and newcomers like Fnaire, Bassnectar, The Chakadoons, Yossi Fine and others contribute to these remixes. From the energy of Bhangra, to Morrocan street rap, to trance, to dub, these new collaborations cover the many facets of the outernational dance-floor.

An Inspiring Mix.......2007-03-08

I love the diversity of the tunes on this album. All of the cuts are well-mixed and smooth. The CD would provide the perfect backdrop for a sleek, modern cocktail joint. It brings together a number of diverse musical styles and weaves them together smoothly for an elegant sound. Moreover, the album contains enough diversity to make it an enjoyable backdrop for an entire evening. It is not like so many modern albums, where you feel like you are listening to the same song over and over again.

La Ghriba Grabs You.......2007-02-26

What can I say- From the opening notes to the last whisper of sound I was filled with a longing and sadness for a country lost to the ravages of war- I could only think how happy my mother-in-law would have been to have heard this since she was never to return to her beloved country once war had deposited her onto the shores of Europe- Yes, La Kahena Lives!

Electronica doesn't get more fun than this.......2006-08-14

My first DJ Cheb disc was "Shri Durgha" which is both wonderfully inventive yet reverent to its source. I usually hate remix discs of any kind, but liked what I heard at Barnes and Noble (first 15 seconds of each track) and bought it.

Unlike Durgha which felt organic and only the subtlest bit of touch by the DJ, La Ghriba as a remix project is just the opposite and happily so as its a great fun ride. Trippy infectuous third world grooves keeps the toe tapping, and keep this disc hogging the CD player from all comers.

I don't remember when the last time I thought of a piece of electronica as "great fun", maybe not since "Live Orb 93", but in any case it's been way too long. This one qualifies easily.

BEST ALBUM!.......2006-08-04

I have heard everything from DJ Cheb I Sabbah, and this is by far his best album!

What were they thinking? .......2006-06-16

I loved La Kahena, and would give it 7 or 8 stars if I could, but I can't. This disc is a piece of crap. First, it sounds like it was mixed by a hearing impaired person. Second, the need to remix the brilliance of La Kahena to make it palatable to what someone thinks is American club culture (at least as it may be thought to exist in a place like Houston, Kansas City, or Pierre, South Dakota) just escapes me. La Kahena is a brave and brilliant integration of rockin' Maghrebi sounds. This ... ick!

Two stars for the original.

Bebel Gilberto appears to be the figurehead of 21st-century bossa nova, so it's only fitting she should be the subject of one of the biggest 21st-century trends, the remix. But when the remixes are done as well as this, it actually adds to the original album. Her languid, sensual vocals are still the cornerstone, but Rae & Christian's more upbeat take on "Bananeira" propels the song to the dance floor, while Trüby Trio evoke the shantytown favelas, home of samba, on the percussive "Sem Contencao." A couple of the tracks might seem more like limp Sade than tropical Bebel, but for the most part there's plenty of invention occurring, as with Da Lata's gorgeous interpretation of "August Day Song." In addition to all of the aforementioned, King Britt, Ananda Project, and 4hero are among the studio whizzes who lend their high-profile talents to Gilberto, making Tanto Tempo into something reborn. --Chris Nickson

Album Description

Bebel Gilberto's acclaimed album Tanto Tempo is the source for this collection of remixes - ranging from downtempo to danceable - by some of today's most groundbreaking producers, including Peter Kruder (of Kruder & Dorfmeister), Trüby Trio, Rae & Christian, King Britt, Faze Action, 4hero and more.

Customer Reviews:

3 and 1/2 stars..........2006-09-22

I stumbled across this compilation at my local Goodwill. Familiar with the name Bebel Gilberto, if not her music, I picked it up having recognized Peter Kruder as one of the remix artists. So I come to this not as one who knows her music but as a techno geek who loves such artists as Thievery Corporation and Kruder & Dorfmeister (half the duo being the Peter Kruder noted above) who have introduced me to a collection of artists I'd never otherwise hear.

Compilations such as this remix album are a great way to listen to something new. It's obvious that the backbone of these mixes is Bebel Gilberto's music and it is quite lovely, though I will have to venture forth and obtain the original of this album.

But to compare it to the original is to miss the point. Of course it isn't the original and of course one should have the original. But remixes, in my opinion, are a great way to introduce people to the often inspired alternative versions one can make, even from a great original. Such is the case here.

There are some clunkers on here but many of them are quite stunning the highlights being Peter Kruder's version of "Tanto Tempo" and Rae & Christian's take on "Bananeira". Others are mere background music, though nice background music at that. All in all this is a good mix to put on for some downtempo mood music.

Like mixing mojitos.......2006-06-14

As "Tanto Tempo" is a great album,so is its remixed version.It's interesting to hear how different DJs handle Bebel Gilberto's exuberant work.They give a new spin to bossa nova.If you enjoyed the original versions,you'll like this one!

The highlights include Rae&Christian's version of "Bananaeira",Truby Trio's trippy "Sem Contencao"&Monoaural's take on "Mais Feliz." The three versions of "August Day Song" from Chateau Flight,King Britt,and Da Lata give it three different flavors,of which Chateau Flight&King Britt are the best.It's no wonder Putumayo chose King Britt's version of "August Day Song" for its "Brazilian Lounge" compilation.Peter Kruder's version of "Tanto Tempo" is perfect for a sweaty,throbbing dancefloor.Mario Caldato's take on "Summer Samba" is perfect for grooving.While Ananda Project,Sin Plomo,Faze Action,Chari Chari&4Hero have filler,it is an overall strong album.Perfect for any Brazilian music collection!

Great Buy.......2006-03-01

I bought this CD for one track - Tanto Tempo, remixed by Peter Kruder, which combines the best of Kruder's work and Bebel's work. It is sublime! TThe other tracks vary from average to good.

This is SEXY and TRIPPY... New Brazil is here, and it's good, REAL GOOD !.......2005-06-20

These remixes make of this album an incredible accomplishment. It is a remarkable combination of electronic music and sexy bossa nova. If you like downtempo/midtempo lounge music, please give this one a try. It will amaze you. This CD is sooo good, it can actually be the beginning of a new music genre all on its own: SEXELECTROBOSSA.

A very talented crew of master DJ's/Producers like Rae & Christian, Trüby Trio, and Peter Kruder, to name a few, have made of this album a true masterpiece. But beware, these are not your traditional "Nu Brazil" remixes. This is a very diffirent album, with a very distinctive sound. It is definitely sexy, somewhat futuristic, and very very trippy. Quite unique.

Sexy bossa nova has never sounded so good and contemporary. Pour a glass of your favorite drink, light up a candle and let the music take you on this amazing trip...

Sexy Groove Mood Music.......2005-06-20

Bebel has a beautiful voice, and I love the Brazilian Style - this remix album is like driving a convertible on the most perfect sunny day. My fave - August Day Song. Perfect for dancing, or for chilling on your garden patio with your favorite drink.
