2.0 out of 5 stars Oh yeah...oh no..., January 14, 1999

With the advent of the remix album came the expansion of the mundane into new and unexciting markets. This is no different. Marked by Plutone's break-breat remix of "Oh Yeah," most of this particular remix album is unimpressive and overproduced. Almost all of the tracks have been sped up beyond all comprehension and hacked into tiny pieces that resemble Yello as much as Johnny Mathis resembles Kylie Minogue. Yello should have had more of a hand in this remix/tribute as it sounds almost nothing like them. There are, however, one or two notable exceptions on the album, such as "La Habanera," and "L'Hotel," which still manage to capture some of the original sound, but they unto themselves are not worth suffering through the rest of this remix-madness.

Years go by, the dark sky parts with butterfly like wings, as I, go deeper into the eyes of yello. Remixes only get worse with the 90's, but this compilation obviously took its supervision from yello and sounds as good as the originals and better than the "all in one go" album. We Americans are deprived of imports all too often, and here, in all it's color, is an yello's best songs hidden away in the import section.

2.0 out of 5 stars Should have been called Craps on Yello, December 3, 2011

None of these remixes (with the possible exception of Moby's) even come close to the quality of the original tracks. A few are tolerable, but most are mindless techno-style thump-thump-thump-thump "dance" mixes that obliterate the charm of the songs in order to make them palatable to the musically-crippled. The only reason to buy this disc is if you want to collect absolutely everything Yello has released. Even then, you'd do best to stick it in the back of your closet and never play it.
