This album perfectly blends two contrasting, yet equally popular types of music. The Jam Band genre of String Cheese, reminiscent of the Dead, is something we would not normally associate with the recently popular Techno. However, DJ Harry does an incredible job spinning to these sounds. I would recommend this album, and more importantly, recommend more DJ's to spin Jam Band music, such as Widespread. On a related note, if you like this album, look on the Internet for such remixes as Pleasurehead doing renditions of Guns 'n' Roses and Van Halen.

So I just picked up this cd and I'm very impressed. I'm not a SCI fan, but I have been waiting for this disc to come out for what seemed like months. I'm really into jambands and dance music, so I have tons of respect for a guy who wanted to bring it together. Basically the album is great house beats with SCI samples, all in a continuous mix. It is exactly what I thought it would sound like, it is a MUST for any fan of dance music and jambands, even if SCI isn't your thing. This guy obviously knows what he is doing and does this album justice, blurring the lines between jam music and electronic music.

DJ Harry is ahead of his time with this remix. I have heard him spin many times live and his range of music is extremely diverse. He has the ability to pick out the quality sounds in whatever genre of music he can get his creative hands on. This album is no different, concentrating on the jam band groove. I dont consider myself a SCI fan, but DJ Harry has made me appreciate their sound and his vibe in an impressive mix that has lasting appeal. NIce work Harry!

DJ Harry blends the acoustic sounds of jamband music with detailed electronic programming to deliver an incredible album. I enjoy String Cheese Incident's music, but am more of a dance music fan and I highly recommend this album for anyone who wants a continuous dance jam of mountain-top soul.

I'm usually against buying electronic producer's albums because I don't like the pauses in between songs: DJ Harry has eliminated this by "String"-ing the songs together in a delicious earful of a mix; it's brilliant.

Buy this album, it defines an entire new genre of dance music and I'm sure we'll see more Organica beats from electronic producers in the future.

This is a brilliant album for any audiofile who really is a fan of mix-type trance/dance music. As with anything some tracks are slightly better than others but that is summed up by saying some rate as 10/10 while others are "just" 8,9/10 songs. This one is definately a mood motivator, which is why I generally listen to music, to create a given mood. Great driving music--listened to this for about 6 of 9 hours on a drive a back from Canada as did my best friend in his car. I look forward to picking up anything by DJ Harry just based the work on this disc!!!

I have been into house music for over 10 years and I just saw my first String Cheese show a few months back..???...I wish sooner! I cannot get enough of them now. When I stumbled across this cd , I was extremely excited & more so when I listened to it. DJ Harry is awesome! Buy this CD!!!!!

Being a convert myself, I've been sharing DJ Harry's "the String Cheese Remix Project" with friends and family for years. Regardless of age, gender or musical preference, just about everybody who I've played this for has fallen in love with it. Most of these people don't even listen to house music. There is a universal appeal to "the String Cheese Remix Project." Perhaps it's the earthy, organic vibe. It has the perfect blend of melody and improvisation that works well for active listening or ambience. The recording also balances acoustic and electric sounds. As a whole, DJ Harry seems to favor keyboard work and this is especially true with 'Texas,' a song with Latin piano work. While it always has a great beat, it works well as dance or chill out music. "The String Cheese Remix Project" is a very psychedelic adventure. This is not just for String Cheese Incident (SCI) fans. In fact, while the compositions are based on SCI songs, they've been rendered unrecognizable. Furthermore, while both SCI and this CD play improvisational music, there is a stylistic rift between the two entities. Possessing a modest house/ambient/dance/electronica collection, this gem has always earned the most action. After hearing this disc, I went to experience DJ Harry live. While it was interesting to watch him spin, I was unimpressed. "The String Cheese Remix Project" may turn-out to be his masterpiece. And what a fine masterpiece of groove it is!
