"In the springtime of his voodoo" is an interesting song in itself. The remixes do it no harm. In fact, I rather enjoyed them. The short "Hasbrouck Heights " mix is really not all that bad, and the longer one is perfectly acceptable for club music, and prefferable to others that just keep drilling the same beat into your head.

The standout is the "Quiet Mix", which may completely rid itself of the beloved piano, but it really is a stunning remix, not at all clubesque.

Tori loses some steam with the "Sugar Dub", which samples the intro that Tori used for the "Hey Jupiter" single "Sugar" performance. It's a nice change of pace for an intro to a completely different song's remix, but there's almost no singing after the intro. It's barely even a DUB. No matter, because in total, it's great for those who like Tori's music and like remixes. If you don't, don't bother. It's just a nice CD. Nothing more, nothing less.

I love this track, and I love the remixes. I'm really into remixes, love them. The "Hasbrouck Heights Club Mix" is really nice, just like the "HH Single Mix". But for me, the best one is the "Sugar Dub". It swings. It's really different from any kind of other Tori-remix, and it has a cool, jazzy sound to it. I love Tori her remixes. Too bad you can't get the God-remixes by Carl Craig anymore. I'm really interested in hearing them. And I've also heard there is an unrealesed "Horses"-remix. Too bad she hasn't realesed it. Anyway, love this one.

I love tori and have many of her cd's, but I would say, stay clear of this. The remixes are bubblegum-boring. The only good thing about this cd is the original track.

Of all the various mixes of Tori Amos that have been released over the years, this CD is second only to Andy Gray's work on "Raspberry Swirl". If you're not a remix type of person, then obviously you won't enjoy this. But for me, I really enjoy remixes, particularly to study and drive to. I'm very fond of all the mixes here, and I think this single is much better than the more famous "Professional Widow (It's Got to Be Big)"--unlike that single, every mix is worthwhile listening to. If you love Tori and remixes, go for it!

I like the remix of the song, but I'd only advise buying this if you are a true dedicated fan of Tori Amos and are looking to add something else to your collection.

In the springtime of his voodoo is a song to listen to when you feel as restless and desperate as a cat in heat but in a more celibate and poetic sorta way. it'll have you moaning unintelligible grunts that will make your neighbors wonder. But the techno remixes in my opinion are unsuccessful. They get a bit annoyingly muzak-like at times. "And I hate elevator music.." if you know what i mean. Definetely, DEFINETELY don't do the original version justice.

This Tori Amos single is worth buying. The remixes stays away from regular techno remixes and keeps Tori's image upright as a creative musical artist.

Of course I had no questions on whether this would be a good album. Once again Tori has outdone herself. Her club mixes are awesome, and different, and it makes her all the more diversified. How can you not love Tori?

Only Tori's creativity could produce such magic! Together with her amazingly imaginative lirics and her wonderful voice "Springtime of his Voodoo" has proved again Tori's power to create a spell on her listeners. Take it from a die-hard Amos fan: after hearing this song you'll really want some "voodoo on your prunes"!

This is the only Tori Remix CD that just doesnt do it for me...When this CD came out SPRINGTIME was my favorite song ...and the cd didn't live up to it's potential. Now a days this Cd still doesnt get played because of it's cheesy beats and light dance sounds...to sweet to have TORI's name on it.
