Amber-remixed, December 5, 2000
I'll just come out and start with the one and only flaw about this album. The songs are all edits. I think to really enjoy all these remixes they should have been the full-length versions. Luckily I have the import version of Amber's collaboration with Ultra Nate and Jocelyn Enriquez on "If You Could Read My Mind", so no big loss for me on the edited version on the cd. I love the remixes of "Love One Another" which is my very song off her second studio album. I wish they were longer than 3-4 minutes though. "Colour of Love" and "Above the Clouds" remixes are also great. I'm glad that Amber put out a remix album. Her songs deserved the remix treatment, and they all sound just as good and/or better remixed.

A Remix Album That Actually Works, April 23, 2002
Lets face it: the remix ablum is a concept many record labels abuse. Instead of coming up with interesting re-interpretations of prior hits, most modern remix albums are really shamless attempts to sucker the listener to purchase re-heated singles. This dynamite remix album from Amber, however, is the exception to that rule. The popular Thunderpuss remix of "Sexual" doesn't surface here, but there are other standouts that make this a worthy purchase. "Love One Another" (which Cher would later record), "Above the Clouds," and "Taste the Tears" all get radically re-vamped and are strong enough to spark up any dancefloor. If you have reservations about the remix album, then this CD will definitely change your mind. Highly recommended.

A tad early..., December 14, 2005
Rather than going around buying all sorts of different albums to find that "perfect" Amber remix, some genius came up with the idea of putting several remixes of her best songs on one disc. Now, I will admit, it was a tad bit too early to put out a sort of "Greatest Hits" album, but whatever. It's definately a must have for any Amber fan. On here, the best tracks are a sort of trance like remix of "Sexual", the Radio edit of "One More Night" which was only available to those who bought her first album on cassete, an extremely funky version of the classic "This Is Your Night", an amazing face lift to the already incredible tune "Color of Love", Amber's cover of "Taste The Tears", and last but not least, "Love One Another" (which, by the way, is my favorite track). Although this cd has it's up, it also comes with it's downs. Among these are the two completely pointless remixes of "If You Could Read My Mind" and a craptacular version of "This Is Your Night" which lasts an excruciatingly harsh 8 minutes and 43 seconds. Other than that, it's a great collection. Support Amber!
