(Junior?s Discoverse Remix). All will be released as separate singles in the order listed above.

CD Reviews

Depending on your tastes, Great idea gone real bad...

"Get some of the biggest remixers in the clubs to remix dance classix for a continuous mix. Sounds great. But what you get here are uninspired soft house mixes that are most often not half as interesting as the original mixes. We're talking long harmonica solos and organ riffs. Yes, I'll admit that this isn't my taste in music, but realistically, with the DJs participating, there is a specific audience expecting a specific sound. The junior mix of Another Man sounds nothing like a junior mix. It's mostly funk disco. Ralphi Rosario also goes soft disco house with his Linda Clifford track...and he's done some slammin tracks with her previously. Angel Moraes manages to capture his trademark dark sound on his mix of Work That Body. Two mixes of Ressurect Me are included from the CD single, but the second mix is more energetic-but nothing like your typical Hex Hector mix. The final Junior mix is another disco track that is not what fans expect from junior, but then again, it's called the "discoverse" mix. Having said all that, if you are a lover of disco house, funk house, and soulful house, this is probably a great investment you will love...you won't be getting the hardhouse sounds you despise from most of these remixers. Plus, you get pretty long mixes of each song. Times are:





1. Thank You (6:56)

2. Kinf of Life (6:20)

3. Another Man (7:07)

4. Changin (6:23)

5. Ressurect Me (7:53)

6. Heatbeat (8:07)

7. Work That Body (6:54)

8. Give Your Body Up (6:37)

9. Ressurect me (6:55)

10. Let's go Dancin (6:32)"
