4.0 out of 5 stars Some Really Good Tracks -coupled with auto-software install, December 5, 2005

Be warned - this cd will automatically install Sony's version of copy-protection software on any windows computer. I consider this software to be a virus as it renders the system open to hacking (code is already in the wild that exploits it). Be very careful. If I had known I would never have purchased or used this disk. Amazon merely says the disk is "enhanced" - now you know what they enhanced it with.

As for the music, the Peter Rauhofer Reconstruction Mix of Toxic is worth the price of the cd. This is how a remix should be done! with an awsome pounding beat and samples carefully arranged to alter but retain the originals message, its just wonderful.

Several other tracks, especially the Me Against The Music and Touch Of My Hand are outstanding. As is usual in a compilation like this some of them are mediochre and tired-sounding rehashes but nothing is perfect.

I would have liked to see more from the recent album but overall its a good set, just don't get it if you expect to play it in a computer or move to mp3 device, because if you do you have granted Sony the right to decide what your system will allow you to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Britney Spears B In The Mix Review, December 8, 2005

Everyone on the planet pretty much knows that Britney Spears recently had a baby but you may not know that Britney has a new CD in stores now. "Britney Spears B In The Mix The Remixes" is now available in stores. The set includes remixes of Britney's biggest hits and includes a new song titled "And Then We Kissed."

The CD opens up with a hard hitting club throbbing rendition of Britney's 2003 hit single "Toxic." "Toxic" is followed up by the Justice remix of "Me Against The Music." This is a decent remix but rather boring when it comes to a remix. It's not as danceable as some of the other remixes. "Me Against The World" is followed up by remixes for the album tracks "Touch of My Hand," and "Breath on Me."

The new song, "And Then We Kiss," is a real nice club sounding song. It would have been cool if Britney had recorded a video for this song. It might have brought more attention to this remix project.

It would have been nice if there were remixes of more well known tunes such as "Outrageous," "Stronger," or "Boys," rather than the remixes for the lesser known album tracks "Touch of My Hand" and "Breathe on Me."

"B In The Mix" includes no special booklet, no new pictures and no written introduction or new liner notes from Britney. It would make a nice gift for a Britney Spears fan or a person who enjoys club remixes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy this album for And Then We Kiss, December 1, 2005

This album isn't really worth it, especially since Britney has much better remixes. All of the remixes on the Me Against The Music maxi single were far better than the MATM remix on here, especially the Gabriel & Dresden Mix and the Kanye West Mix. Some of the mixes are good though and perfect to play in clubs. But if you buy this album, seriously, buy it for the new track "And Then We Kiss". This song is pure genius and should be a single. It is dance/chill and would be a great song to release. Britney's vocals are excellent and if she is going in this direction, it really suits her. Download this song from iTunes, you won't be disappointed! It will be interesting to see what the original version of this song sounds like...
