Re-mix ruins songs

"I love Berlin, but these particular remixes sound too "Industrial". It takes away from the music and lyrics instead of adding something to them. The songs are pretty much de-constructed & I feel the original versions are better. I've heard MUCH better re-mixes such as with Whitney Houstons dance songs of last year."

Modern Rock for the Millenium

"Unlike other remixed CDs from Eighties groups (Duran Duran for example), these songs sound incredibly fresh. The songs from the first Berlin album ("Pleasure Victim", "Sex" and "Metro") could fill the floor in any club (if you could find a DJ brave enough!). And even "Take My Breath Away" -- whose original version was sappy enough to require a shot of insulin -- in starkly beautiful. This is really a great CD."

Blast from the past - WOW!

"A fan since The Metro" days, this CD puts a new spin on the old songs. One word - Fantastic! Great to see Terri back and rockin.Each song is stylized and updated for today's sound. Done much the same way as Blondies - Remixed,Remade,Remodeled. There is not a bad cut off of this baby. I fell in love with the songs all over again.Buy it now and then go buy the live album - Sacred and Profane. Old fans won't be disappointed and new ones will see what the fuss was about. A must for your complete Berlin CD catalog, Thumbs up!"
