What you've got here is a rehash of old K+D stuff from a couple of years ago. Several of the tracks already appear on the amazing "K+D Sessions". The others are basically straight from the Count Basic albums. Count Basic himself is a mid-level talent in the acid-jazz genre. Fairly Milquetoast. This CD is another example of Shadow Records cashing in on the few K+D recordings they still have the rights to (along with the equally boring "Conversions" mix, released in America against the will of K+D). Check out "Peace Orchestra," by Peter Kruder, or "Tosca," by Richard Dorfmeister. These are much closer in form and execution to K+D's previous works.

If you want to hear the best offerings by K&D don't bother with this CD. The K&D Sessions and the K&D DJ Kicks CDs are the ones to buy. This CD offers nothing new, in fact most of it is a couple of years old. Be it record company greed or a large tax bill for Peter and Richard, this CD is money for very old rope.

A collection of remixes done for Count Basic by Kruder & Dorfmeister, both together and separately. The mixes where the two mold the source material more to their own desires are by far the best of the bunch. "Gotta Jazz" and "Speechless Drum & Bass", both of which turn up on The K&D Sessions, are the standouts here.

Aside from being rehashed K & D lowlights, the back of the package indicates that there are 13 tracks on this album. I have only 7 and not in any semblance of order. I'm "Speechless" it's so worthless. Don't bother.

I gave it 1 star because honestly it's a waste of money seeing as how you can get ALL the songs and more on their alternate version of this. Apparently, this CD is just a stripped down version of "The Remix Hit Collection", which Count Basic released in Austria in 1996. It contains a total of 13 tracks including ALL the tracks here!

If you have K&D the Remixes, you already have the best from this CD. Otherwise, there aren't really any high points on any of the tracks, and it gets monotonous. There is less of the Vienna sound and more of a hip hop Basia sound.
