Synopsis

Album Description

2010 collection. The 'remix' has grown from a nice club-oriented novelty in the late '70s and early '80s to an art form in the millennium. From extended workouts to radical reworkings, the 'remix' has managed to turn humble DJs and producers into superstars. While some DJs have become even more recognizable than the acts that they work with, that is not the case here. From the first note to the last, this collection of classic and 'essential' mixes will remind you of the majesty of the song and the artistry of the performer as well as the magic of the mix. Sony.

CD Reviews

Who compiled these so called 'essential' mixes?

(2 out of 5 stars)

"Toni Braxton has been due for a compilation of rare remixes for a long time--but this ain't it. A two disc release is in store and could have been jampacked with full length mixes, like the eddie baez mix of I Don't Want To, Junior Vasquez and Peter Rauhofer mixes of He Wasn't Man Enough, the Hex Hector mix of Hit the Freeway, the full HQ2 mix of Spanish Guitar...Instead, along with a couple of shining moments of rare mixes, we get club mixes that were never hard to find on CD, like the Unbreak My Heart (and, sorry, but the Frankie Knuckles mix is not the essential mix...the Soul/Hex mix is), I Don't Want To, and you're making me high. If this had simply been a 2-disc set with the remaining big mixes mentioned above, it definitely would have been essential. Track times:

Breathe Again (Extended Mix) (4:57)

Another Sad Love Song (Extended Remix) (5:27)

You Mean The World To Me (Extended Mix) (5:33)

I Belong To You (Rollerskate Radio Mix) (4:22)

How Many Ways (R. Kelly Remix) (5:47)

He Wasn't Man Enough (Extended Version) (5:36)

Hit The Freeway (Extended Version) (6:29)

Un-Break My Heart (Frankie Knuckles Franktidrama Club Mix) (8:37)

You're Makin' Me High (David Morales Classic Mix) (8:18)

I Don't Want To (Franktified Club Mix) (10:59)

Spanish Guitar (HQ2 Radio Edit) (4:12)

You're Makin' Me High (Dance Hall Mix) (4:52)"
