2D not 3D......Here is why

"There is a survey here that Renaissance wants us to take with this release, maybe subliminally, but they still would like to hear our feed back. I could be wrong, but I also could be right. The idea to put out this release in such a fashion; Electro/Tech House (CD1), Prog/Trance House (CD2) and a decoy, blas? music (CD3) could be to evaluate how the Electro/Tech House is doing compared to the beloved tempo, groove, trip and intelligence of the Progressive and Trance-House, that made Electronica believers out of the lost souls of POP chart worshipers.
As for me, the electro house presented in CD1 (Club) is the best I have ever listened to so far. I actually think that there is a bleak hope in this genre of house making it somehow. All thanks to Satoshiie's excellent taste in music that doesn't exaggerate the newness of it. On the contrary, Satoshiie gives you just enough fresh Electro sound to make it... well...fresh. This is exactly what DJs, that jumped on the band wagon of the Electro House, should have introduced us with as a smooth transition from Prog. Unfortunately, they all wanted to make a BANG with the new stuff, but all they got was a poof.
CD2 (Studio) is nothing short of AWESOME. Yes it does have some several tracks that I (and many others) have heard during the past years; I can even say that some of them are classics. Still, the joy of listening to them once again especially when remixed by one of the best in the business is nothing less than breathtaking. CD2 alone is worth purchase of this 3XCD comp.
Home (CD3) is love it or leave it kind of thing. It is definitely no what you might call `Chill out', `Lounge' or even `Down tempo'. It is what I would call a mixed salad of `Personal' favorites of the artist's listening enjoyment and influence. OK I guess, a private look inside the artist's heart and soul never hurts, however, not along with this comp, it just clashes........but hey....to each his own.
So, which do I like best? I have to say that Progressive House is my favorite by far, even when comparing it to the new sound of Electro by the same DJ. So here you go Renaissance (Thrive) note it down for your reference.
All in all, great comp. from a genius artist.
P.S: Satoshiie's Nubreed is mind boggling, check it out.

Renaissance in 3D... no blue and red glasses needed

"With Renaissance 3D Satoshi Tomiie steps up for this first instalment of the new series. I must say I had my skeptic thouhgts at first but after a few good days with all three cds I can HONESTLY say this is truly a great mix all around. To start off Satoshi kicks it off with the club disk. On the first listen I got the feeling it was going to be the usual tech-house electro house dribble that seems to be on every new mix cd to date.But,as I got more into the mix the more I liked it. More so the first 5 or 6 tracks of the cd. Now, for CD2 the studio disc. If anyone who claims to listen or like Progressive house/house/trance(dance music in general)has not heard of more than half of the songs on the studio disc you need to do your home work. I would call this disc a type of greatest hits but even better. In my opinion these are some of the most note worthy tracks in the scene, and there all remixed/tweeked and polished for this cd(worth the purchase of the set alone). Now disc three is a love it or hate it situation. Some very good tracks a type of managers choice dish, tracks that have been influential in Satoshi's life. Over all a GREAT CD and a must for any house/progressive listener out there. Also recieved comp. of the month by M8 and well worth every penny."
Studio mix is the best i've heard in years

"i'm constantly searching for one of those mixes that stays in your car for months, and you just listen to it over and over with amazement each time at how fabulous it is. with staoshi's studio mix, i've found my latest obsession. his remixes are mind blowing, and i hear tracks like "love in traffic" which i haven't heard in 5 years. he really shows his mad skills on this disc. the other two are okay, but this one blows the others out of the water. if you're like me and are looking for the next hot mix to add to your collection...then buy this immediatly!!!"
The first disc is average, the third pointless, but the seco

"With its 3D series, Renaissance asked several big names in electronic music to create mixes separated into three CDs titled "Club", "Studio", and "Home" respectively. The first installment went to Satoshi Tomiie, a Japanese-born resident who has been in the house scene for nearly two decades, but whose output on disc was rare until recently. I was blown away by his 2002 mix in Global Underground's Nubreed series, so I decided to check this release out as well. Unfortunately, the format that Renaissance came up with doesn't work out too well.
For the first disc, "Club", Tomiie chose the sort of tunes he was playing out in early 2006. While another review has called this mix electro, I must respectfully disagree, for this is mainly the sort of traditional house mixed with progressive that Tomiie has carved his niche in. Indeed, the lack of electro stylings sets this disc apart from other releases of the same era. Tomiie takes the opportunity to promote the work of Jim Rivers, a producer brand-new to the scene who contributes the solid tracks "Future" and "Restore". Vocals are sparingly used, making their first appearance only in the eight track, Electrochemie LK's "Big One", and subsequently serving as the climax of the disc in Cass's "I Love Your Shoes". This is a rather average disc.
Things improve greater with the second disc. For "Studio", Tomiie has put together a mix consisting only of various remixes that he has done of house and progressive classics from the late '80s to today. A mellow version of "Tears", the collaboration with Frankie Knuckles that made his name in New York, helps start things off. Cass' "Mind Rewind" is elegantly extended through the middle of the set. Things reach their highest point with the succession of Kosheen - "Hungry" (probably Tomiie's finest remix), Photek - "Mine to Give", Tomiie and Kelli Ali - "Love in Traffic", and Future Sound of London's "Papua New Guinea" (in its umpteenth remix). Tomiie winds the set down with an eerie dub of Hybrid's "Higher Than a Skyscraper".
The third disc, "Home", is a complete disappointment. Tomiie shows off his wide taste in music with this unmixed succession of tunes from the Sneaker Pimps, Miles Davis, Dexter Wansel, and Weather Report among others. The progressive house fans buying a mix from the progressive house label Renaissance are obviously wanting, well, progressive house, not some fairly mundane jazz and pop. It is a pity that Tomiie hasn't adopted Sasha's Ableton Live style which would allow him to integrate these personal favourites from other genres in a house set.
Tomiie is a talented DJ, producer, and remixer, and this disc may be worth getting from budget outlets for the second disc. If you haven't encounted his work yet, however, the old Nubreed set is highly recommended."
Club Mix is my fav

"Interesting concept behind this one...I enjoyed listening to all three discs, but it was the first one, the Club mix, that did it for me. Every time I listen to it, it grows on me more and more. I have never heard an electro mix sound as solid and deep as this one. Every single track on the mix is mint, especially Jim Rivers' "Future" and Martin Eyerer's "Wicked Line". Like I said, with every listen, it gets better and better... If you like good, hypnotic electro and progressive house, then I highly recommend this release. Satoshi is a master producer and programmer."
