Important to anyone about to buy this single...

"For 12 bucks, this single is not worth it. Why? Is it the music? Nope. The music is great. Just the fact that you're going to buy this isn't cool.I got the limited-edition of the Conjure One debut album, self-titled "Conjure One". And everyone knows that limited-edition isn't really "limited", it's just another version of the original album, but has extras and might cost a little more. What makes this a "limited-edition" album, is that it has a bonus disc with re-mixes on it. Guess what the extra disc has? You guessed it. Re-mixes only.These are the re-mixes on the extra disc:
1. Tears from the Moon [Hybrid's Twisted on the Terrace Mix]
2. Redemption [Max Graham's Dead Sea Mix]
3. Sleep [Ian Van Dahl Mix]
4. Tears from the Moon [Robbie Rivera Mix]Looks familiar doesn't it? Same exact mixes except for the extra track, Redemption [Max Graham's Dead Sea Mix].So to put it simply: save your money and get the limited edition "Conjure One" album instead. You don't even have to get the import one, it's the one sold right here in the U.S. If you already bought the original album without the bonus disc, I would highly recommened not buying this single still. For 12 bucks you can go and buy another CD. You can go to iTunes or Napster or somewhere else to get these same re-mixes... for only about a dollar each. Save yourself some money.I gave it 3 stars because two of the re-mixes are great to listen to. Hybrid, who always delivers great mixes, mixes Tears From The Moon into a mysterious track, filled with ambient noises, and progressive trance/breaks beats. Max Graham's mix of Redemption is interesting to put the least. It is a progressive trance track that spans over 11 minutes. It uses a clip of the original song, but uses it sparingly. The rest is just the trance beat which keeps going. I am not a big fan of Ian Van Dahl, and their mix of "Sleep" will literally put you to sleep. I am not a fan of Robbie Riveria either; but for the track of Tears From The Moon, he puts a weird dance beat to it. Which for that song, does not match it all. It's terribly off-beat with the vocals, and the track itself just sounds chaotic and confusing. I did not know what to think when listening to this track, but to turn it off because it gave me a dulling headache.So just go and find these tracks somewhere else, or buy the limited-edition of "Conjure One" if you haven't bought the album yet."
