After being blown away by Opera, and rather pleased by Suzuki, I was figuring this album was a sure thing. Knowing that this would be a remix album, I was hoping to hear some exciting new interpretations of the original tracks. This logic would follow from my experiences with the "Beep" remixes of Tranquility Bass, where I actually preferred the remixes to the originals in some cases. However, I feel that in this case the original is a superior album, and this new collection fails to be a worthy companion to it. While some of the tracks do not even capture the spirit of the originals (which is not really a sin in remixes), none of them provide a radically new or interesting interpretation of Tosca's work. This album is certainly a relative of Suzuki, but is not the marriage of Tosca and other comprable artists that I was hoping it would be.
