This review is from: Verve Remixed Christmas (Audio CD)
I heard two songs from this I really liked on a satellite station featuring remixed holiday music. So I had high hopes for this CD. Unfortunately I was hugely disappointed once I received and played the CD. For one thing, there could have been more MIXING! The last two songs are very good but the rest leaves me cold. I love ambient groove and except for the last two songs, this is not it. If I wanted straight up classic holiday music, I would have bought a CD with classic holiday music!

Contemporary and Different,
By Ms, MB "(Jordee)" (DC Area , USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Verve Remixed Christmas (Audio CD)
This is the type of compilation that you must listen to a few times to appreciate the brilliance of it. Perfect for a dinner party or festive gathering. Most of the tunes sound like completely different songs, while at the same time keeping the essence of the original recordings. I especially like track 11, Chilly Winds, Nina Simone, because of its haunting refrains of Nina Simones raspy voice. Also notable are Good Morning Blues (Count Basie); I've Got my Love to keep me Warm (Billie Holiday), and The Christmas Song by Mel Torme for the wonderful layering of different melodic beats. Get it if you want to play something somphisticated and different over the holidays, yet definitely in the spirit of the season.

Good, but not great,

This review is from: Verve Remixed Christmas (Audio CD)
The first Verve Remixed album is high in my normal rotation. The later ones are pretty decent as well, so I went ahead and tried the Christmas album.
Well, it's not bad. It doesn't blow me away, but there's nothing wrong with it either. I only have a few Christmas albums, so I'll keep it, but if you have a good-sized collection this may well drop through the cracks.
