Awesome club music for a Saturday night

"I have basically given up on remix cds lately because it seems like most of them nowadays are just copying each other however I made an exception. I immediately bought this album when I saw the song list when I found this cd in the used cd bins at my favorite record store. I really wanted to hear the Ian Van Dahl Mix [to one of my favorite Conjure One songs] "Sleep", and it didn't hurt to want to hear the DJ Tiesto Full Vocal Remix of Moby's "We Are All Made of Stars" (since I hated the Timo Maas remix). I immediately fell in love with this cd the moment I heard Danny Tenglia's Labor of Love Mix for Depeche Mode's "I Feel Loved". The fact that I find Danny Tenglia absolutely boring came to a big surprise when I heard his remix for one of my favorite songs off DM's recent album "Exciter". Although I can't stand the original mix of Zero 7's "Destiny", I actually found myself enjoying the Photek mix. I think the reason I can't stand the original mix is it is too bloody boring although I do love chill out music. The same with Dido's "Thank You". I can't stand the original mix because radio played the song too death as well as Eminem's "Stan" which it used a sample of Dido's song. Deep Dish did a great job of remixing the song into something more enjoyable for this listener. Of course I absolutely loved the remixes for "Sleep" and "We Are All Made of Stars". I love those two songs, remixed or not. I literally flipped for iio's "Rapture" and Dj Tiesto's "643". Great songs, great album. The perfect cd to listen to before heading out to the clubs on a Saturday night."
