Product Description

From the Label Presenting Britney Spears: B in the mix - The Remixes--a collection of brand new remixes of some of the Grammy-winning performer's biggest hits, some 'classic' remixes and as if that weren't enough a brand new song! The new previously unreleased track, entitled "And Then We Kiss" is remixed by Junkie XL. No Britney Spears fan, no music fan and certainly no dance fan could do without this non-stop hit list of monster remixes. Celebrate the many moods and sounds of Britney Spears: B in the mix - The Remixes.

Description In the absence of a new studio album, the princess of pop follows up 2003's 'In The Zone' with this collection of remixes. The eclectic selection of guest producers includes Junkie XL, Jason Nevins, Hex Hector and Jacques Lu Cont aka Stuart Price, the producer of Madonna's 'Confessions On A Dancefloor' album. The album also includes the Hi-Bias remix of a new song, 'Someday', which was previously only available on the bonus CD included with Britney's 'Chaotic' DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Really Good Tracks -coupled with auto-software install, December 5, 2005

By	Mark Butler (Antioch, Ca USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Be warned - this cd will automatically install Sony's version of copy-protection software on any windows computer. I consider this software to be a virus as it renders the system open to hacking (code is already in the wild that exploits it). Be very careful. If I had known I would never have purchased or used this disk. Amazon merely says the disk is "enhanced" - now you know what they enhanced it with.

As for the music, the Peter Rauhofer Reconstruction Mix of Toxic is worth the price of the cd. This is how a remix should be done! with an awsome pounding beat and samples carefully arranged to alter but retain the originals message, its just wonderful.

Several other tracks, especially the Me Against The Music and Touch Of My Hand are outstanding. As is usual in a compilation like this some of them are mediochre and tired-sounding rehashes but nothing is perfect.

I would have liked to see more from the recent album but overall its a good set, just don't get it if you expect to play it in a computer or move to mp3 device, because if you do you have granted Sony the right to decide what your system will allow you to do.

4.0 out of 5 stars Britney Spears B In The Mix Review, December 8, 2005

By	Dorrie Wheeler - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Everyone on the planet pretty much knows that Britney Spears recently had a baby but you may not know that Britney has a new CD in stores now. "Britney Spears B In The Mix The Remixes" is now available in stores. The set includes remixes of Britney's biggest hits and includes a new song titled "And Then We Kissed."

The CD opens up with a hard hitting club throbbing rendition of Britney's 2003 hit single "Toxic." "Toxic" is followed up by the Justice remix of "Me Against The Music." This is a decent remix but rather boring when it comes to a remix. It's not as danceable as some of the other remixes. "Me Against The World" is followed up by remixes for the album tracks "Touch of My Hand," and "Breath on Me."

The new song, "And Then We Kiss," is a real nice club sounding song. It would have been cool if Britney had recorded a video for this song. It might have brought more attention to this remix project.

It would have been nice if there were remixes of more well known tunes such as "Outrageous," "Stronger," or "Boys," rather than the remixes for the lesser known album tracks "Touch of My Hand" and "Breathe on Me."

"B In The Mix" includes no special booklet, no new pictures and no written introduction or new liner notes from Britney. It would make a nice gift for a Britney Spears fan or a person who enjoys club remixes.
