I really wish I hadn't bought this CD.I have all of Tuatara's other albums and ordered this one sight unseen (sound unheard?) when it was released. If I had known it was just a bunch of lousy remixes, quite simply, I wouldn't have. You know that saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it?" Well, many perfectly good Tuatara songs are now "broke". All that beautiful instrumentation has been shake-and-baked into a hash of electronic [...]. Speaking of broke, save your money and pass on this CD. Better yet, buy one of their previous three albums that is well worth the pricetag: Breaking the Ethers, Trading with the Enemy and Cinemathique.

I really like this change in direction, with Tuatara adding DJs remixes of their songs. Their music was always cool as it was, but the DJs give it a totally new and cool spin. I think if you own the other Tuatara albums, this is a must have for the collection.

This cd contains remixes of Tuatara songs made by some of the greatest Dj around.For Tuatara fans,this cd is 1/5.For Dj Spooky,Dj Logic and Mr. Realable fans,this work is 2/5,because there is nothing of interesting in these remixes.Just 1-2 tracks can be passable.(This review has been written from a fan of Tuatara,Dj Spooky and Dj Logic).

I bought this album after hearing the track Falling Pianos - which is a fantastic track. But unfortunately, it seems to be the only good track. After listening to the whole album I can't say I'd ever listen to it again. Quite expiremental. Some of the others are okay but I'd pass on this one and just download the mp3 tracks that sound good to you.

I own every Tuatara CD and can pick a favorite because they are all very different. Yet Tuatara, and instumental band with roots in Seattle seems perfect for the mixing treatment. Barrett Martin seems to spearhead the project hereas Executive producer, record label owner and primary musician in this project. I like all the new mixes but I think the mixes by New Zealand Mr. Reliable stand out as get it groved up to the point where it could be played in clubs at 4am.
I hope this band of musician will tour again in the future.
