Remixed - Various Artists

Advantages: Production, Guest Stars, Beats
Disadvantages: Same songs different spin

...Bad boy records is back with avengence with this great remix cd. Normally I am not keen on artists releasing CD's with just remixes of old songs on as I think it is personally a cop out. This remix cd I am glad to say is different! There are remix of very popular songs such as "Foolish" by Ashanti and also "No more Drama" by the real queen of RnB Mary J. But you also get some great new songs such as "I need a girl" part one and two, which are brilliant, although I really think he should let J Lo go now!!! Production/Beats: As you would expect with a Diddy production it is very tight! Beats are very funky and clear/crisp and every song which has been remixed sounds much better! Lyrics: All of the songs are very simple and designed for easy listening. With most Diddy songs you are never going to get very thought provoking... Read review

Advantages: A danceable collection
Disadvantages: One really naff track

...This is my first album review so any criticisms or advice will be greatly appreciated. I decided to review J to tha Lo – the Remixes, an album by Miss Big Butt herself, Jennifer Lopez, as it is one of the CD’s in our house that gets a lot of play time. The album cover is a collection of pictures from her various musical videos.

A con, to persuade us to part with more money? Well, see what you think. The album is available from HMV priced at £16.99. TRACK LISTING ************* 1. Love don’t cost a thing (RJ Schoolyard Mix) 2. Ain’t it funny (Remix feat. Ja Rule) 3. I’m gonna be alright (Trackmasters remix feat 50 Cent) 4. I’... Read review

Advantages: Deep Chilled out way to relax
Disadvantages: Honestly none

...cases, but I think that that is the idea of the artist. He has very cleverly developed this sound to chill and calm your mind, you can interpret it in absolutely anyway you fell. But the best way is to just, sit back, press play, and relax. Some of the popular hits on this compilation, are remixes of Moby, ATB, and Xtasia. To be honest, don't expect heavy fast trance music, or you will be disappointed, but what you can expect is a new approach to music, as we enter "The New Age" I suggest this CD to anyone really, particularly someone who copes with a lot of stress. But who would of thought? Trance music that relaxes your mind! I also suggest that try using it when writing you’re CIAO opinions, or for when you are working late at home, it really does help you relax and concentrate on the task ahead of you. If you have a copy... Read review
