3.0 out of 5 stars Bond Remixed - For the diehard fans, December 5, 2003

By	"shaure" (Australia) - See all my reviews

To state straight off - I love Bond, I think the four girls are extremely talented and their music style makes classical music accessible to everyone. That said, I found this remix albumn a bit of a let down. As an Australian, I had to import the CD and it really wasn't worth the money. The girls are good, no question, but to me the music was too techno, they lost their individual sound to an all encompassing boom box. The whole album had a feeling of sameness to it, there was no individuality to any of the songs, they all seemed to merge into one techno beat. Two of the new songs Homecoming & Atlanta (played one after another on the CD) sounded so familiar at first I checked my CD player to see if it was on repeat!

So in closing, the CD is good for the die hard fans. But if you're new to Bond please choose either their Born or Shine albumn, this Remix CD is not a good representation of their sound. For those out there, who like me, won't see the CD in their stores for a few more months, wait it out, the extra cost involved in importing the CD is just not worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute must for Bond fans, October 11, 2003

By	Erica Anderson (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I have been wanting this cd for some time now because I am a big fan of Bond. I always felt that their music should be remixed and was secretly hoping for a remix album from them. Unfortunately I have been short on cash. I have already heard a couple of remixes of their songs already, both songs from their first album "Born". I struck gold today when I found a promo copy of "Remixed" in the used cd bins on my weekly jaunt. I have already heard "Viva" from an import version of "Born" but nevertheless it is still a very good song. Same with the Bond on Bond track and "Wintersun" (otherwise known as "Winter" on the US version of "Born"). It is found on the group's second album "Shine". Since Amazon didn't include a track list of the songs, I will post the list of songs on the cd:

1. Viva (Orion Mix)
2. Victory (Sharp Boys Wild Strings Edit)
3. Wintersun (Bobby D'Ambrosio Mix)
4. Speed (Crash Club Mix - Radio Edit)
5. Fuego (Caliente Mix)
6. Homecoming (new/unreleased song)
7. Atlanta (new/unreleased song)
8. Shine (Dubshakra Mix)
9. Time (new/unreleased song)
10. Duel (Hectic Mix)
11. Bond on Bond
12. Jingle Bell Rock (Pussy Galore Mix)
13. Fuego (video)
14. Victory (video)

As you can see, the remix cd also includes two videos. For the most part, I loved the entire cd. My only beef with the cd is that edits were used. I loathe edits. Why couldn't the record company just use the full-length remixes? Edits are an abomination to me. Otherwise, I thought the remixes were excellent. They gave an added engery to the songs. I kinda wished that the group also remixed non-singles from their first two albums but I don't mind that they didn't. I am too big of a Bond fan to care. As far as the new/unreleased songs, I loved the new/unreleased songs, especially "Homecoming" and "Atlanta". They reminded me why I love this classical/pop quartet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good remixes, June 18, 2004

By A Customer

I generally stay away from remix albums simply because it's tough to improve on an original. However, I'm a huge fan of techno music and these remixes are heavier fixed with the sound of the dancefloor than the original tracks are. As you can tell by some of the reviews, some people love this, and some hate it. I think the ones that hated this CD are not fans of modern dance music and miss the whole point of dance CDs to begin with, so you can't judge anything by what they say.
This is a great dance CD, period. For the more consertive use of dance beats, see any of Bonds other releases, but this one is definately for the club fans out there. Another killer dance CD I want to suggest is Mr.Deviant's "Techno Obsession" which mixes power rock with killer dance beats to create some very original dance music. Both CDs are great!
