4.0 out of 5 stars Ryuichi Sakamoto - Prayer / Salvation, February 22, 2011

This review is from: Prayer / Salvation (Rmxs) (Audio CD)

Ninja Tune offers remixes of Ryuichi Sakamoto's Prayer/Salvation. Obviously, this different set of remixers result in different tracks, but the emphasis is less on drum `n' bass and more on house, downtempo and abstract works. Ashley Beedle, of course, offers a class house remix of "Salvation" and J Swinscoe of the Cinematic Orchestra works his clarinet-and-bass jazz magic. Fink goes ambient, then drum `n' bass, while Pan Sonic and Oval glitch up "Prayer" and "Discord" respectively. Andrea Parker rounds out the rest of the mixers with some abstract trip-hop. A fascinating collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars New Wave Taken in a new Direction, March 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Prayer / Salvation (Rmxs) (Audio CD)

Not unlike Sakamoto's other release on Ninja Tune, Prayer/Salvation contains many remixes and interpretations by various rave/techno/acid jazz djs. For the most part, the various arrangements are quite different than the original but each maintains the same mellow overtone. While not unique to this EP, the combination of smooth classical music and harsh breakbeats creates a truely masterful CD.
