i first heard his stuff at a dance club and went to get the cd as soon as possible for a big party. everyone loved his style and more people danced to him then anything other cd!

This is a must have for all ego-trip fans and non ego-trip fans alike. Every song remixed has it's own flavor thanks to all the great remixers displayed. It is amazing to hear the differences between artists who made them, but also to the difference to the original songs. Must have.

I'm still amazed about how a remix album could destroy the original. After hearing Altered Ego-Trip I wanted to trash my copy of Keoki's original.

This cd is okay, it is a standard remix cd through and through, nothing really special just some club mixes. Pick up if you're a die-hard Keoki fan.

This release is strictly a re-mix album of Keoki's "Ego Trip" CD. I gave high praise to `Ego Trip' and was worried about what I might find here. It has been my experience that re-mix albums rarely live up to the original. They are usually just watered down versions of the original tracks. They very rarely seem to be worth buying unless you are a die-hard fan. Now, there are exceptions to the rule. There are a few remix albums that do an amazing job to compliment the original recording.

As you can probably tell buy my rating, they did an excellent job on this album. When you look at the list of re-mixers it is a `who's who' of electronic music. There was only one re-mixer that I was unfamiliar with and that is a pretty good batting average. All in all this CD is awesome if you want host a house party or just swing your head in a rhythmic motion. The option is yours but I would recommend the party, chics dig groovy tunes. Trust me.

If you do decided to pick this CD up you might want to get the original release also. Ego Trip is an amazing release and it will make a great companion to this release. Techno is forever evolving but these two CDs are ahead of the trend.

I cannot really pick my favorite selections on this release because they all have supreme merit. The showcase the talents of so many different styles of Techno that you cannot pigeon hole them easily. Not that I would want to do that, but, it is inevitable. But you don't have to take my word for it, check it out and decide for yourself. :)

I have worked in late night clubs for over ten years. This is one of the hotest albums ever. Must hear to appretiate.

Allright, allright. I'm sick of people who constantly kick Keoki arround, give the poor guy a chance! Anyway onto the CD... This cd is pretty rad. Theres some phunky remixes on this album by ak1200, Crystal Method (which is very mediocre compaired to their full lenth release ), Dj Dan ( Da Man!), and more. I love Dj Dan's work on "crash", hes an awesome breakbeat artist! and wow! Dara actualy does a remix that I enjoyed. If your looking for a good party cd, put down that "MTV's party to go" and pick this up!

I haven't heard any of Keoki's previous music, but Ego-Trip is GREAT...not just one song, but all of them are good, and it isn't the same boring beat over and over...I recommend you try it.

Even if you're not into Keoki or didn't like Ego-trip, this remixed version is worth picking up. I personally prefer a lot of the remixed versions to the origial, and with Crystal Method, Rabbit in the Moon, Uberzone, DJ Dara and DJ Dan, you really can't lose. Some of the weaker Ego-Trip songs make for dope remixing material. I liked the original, but I have to say the altered version is phatter.

The best remix on this CD is undeniably Rabbit In The Moon's remix of "Caterpillar." The remix morphed smoothly throughout, and had interesting beats and sound effects.

Much of the cool parts of the original mixes in "Ego Trip" were drowned out by droning repetition like that of the "Madness" remix. To those out there who already have "Ego Trip," this remix album is quite entertaining still. But to those who don't, this album is still second banana.
