"Please, if you are a real techno fan and love your techno hard but not monotonous, groovy but not cheesy, you have to pick up this double-cd masterpiece. The cd1 is staight bangin techno but with a lot of twist and direction changes to keep you alert. Amazin first cd! But just when you think he couldnt do better, he gives u his bonus cd of disco-electro-techno soundin like it came out from the 80's. Just mindblowin and i have listened to a lot of mix cd compilation from all the best out there, but you can now but Tiga and without any shame...right next to your Ritchie Hawtin "Decks and Effects", Carl Cox "Mixed Live at CroBar" or Jeff Mills "Live at Tokyo Bar" cds. Mixed Emotion is so diverse and powerfull, believe me on this one, pick it up, this is a no brainer... Also im from Montreal, and Tiga is a pionner in the techno scene out here...Enjoy!"
Fantastic Compilation

"Another genuinely awesome release from the Montreal Mix Session recordings. This double disc of hard minimal techno has the bump of club friendly house, yet is still smooth and smartly layered with enough funk to make a disc for many occasions. Disc 2 is the winner, it is heavier and deeper and even more intelligent, one of the best vibes to come any electronic album. With passion and funk being blended together flawlessly, taking you on an emotional joyride. A must have for an dance fan."

"Geez these two CDs of Techno (CD1) and Electro/disco/funky/techno (CD2) are some of the greatest mixes. Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin are the greats but Tiga is your future.
I'll finish this review with a quote from the liner notes. "Back from the future, to save the past ..." Thank you Tiga."
An excellent techno 80's sound

"The first time I hear the CD I was underwhelmed, but it has grown on me so much I can't turn it off. The second CD in particular has music reminiscent of Prince, Depeche Mode, and Bronski Beat, except more club-like. I recommend this CD to all dance music fans."
Masterpiece

"This double CD set is probably the best out there. It's at least the best I have heard on CD. These two discs blow away all others. It's not particularly what I would consider to be in the "hardcore tech" category (most would probably call this house), but it is definitely no where near cheesy or soft. The vocals are really cool; they very much keep with the theme of what high-techno is all about, and sometimes they even give me goose bumps. My advice: purchase and enjoy over-and-over. I will however, offer a small warning to the other heterosexual males out there: you may find the back cover and inside jacket somewhat offensive (revealing Speedo and bubble bath shots, and yes he's bigger than you)."
