Bride of Suzuki? Not really...

"After being blown away by Opera, and rather pleased by Suzuki, I was figuring this album was a sure thing. Knowing that this would be a remix album, I was hoping to hear some exciting new interpretations of the original tracks. This logic would follow from my experiences with the "Beep" remixes of Tranquility Bass, where I actually preferred the remixes to the originals in some cases. However, I feel that in this case the original is a superior album, and this new collection fails to be a worthy companion to it. While some of the tracks do not even capture the spirit of the originals (which is not really a sin in remixes), none of them provide a radically new or interesting interpretation of Tosca's work. This album is certainly a relative of Suzuki, but is not the marriage of Tosca and other comprable artists that I was hoping it would be."
Solid.

"This disk is outstanding. I have given it four stars because it is a derivative. If you liked Suzuki (and if you didn't you are no friend of mine!) you should enjoy this. Two quips: I was somewhat disappointed with the Suzuki remix (song 1), which I felt did not do justice to the original; second, the laughing sample in the final track is horrible."
Best CD ever!!

"I'm well known with this kind of music and i must say this is the best Trip-Hop/Lounge/Acid Jazz Album I ever heard!!
Maybe that is because this is one of the first Trip-Hop Albums I ever heard but I own about 70 albums now from this kind of music and I still like this the best even after hundreds of listens...
If you like to listen to Downtempo music and you want to buy an album which you'll still be enjoying in a couple of years I only have one piece of advice..... BUY THIS ONE!!!!
