Original song is good, mixes are unimpressive

"This mix CD cost almost as much as the album itself, so I was hoping the mixes would make it worth the price. Sadly, they didn't, at least not for me. Remixes, if they're done well, will take the song in a different direction and actually make it more enjoyable. With one exception, all the remixes sounded like the original, but with a more intense beat added. Even the lone exception, "Love to Infinity Club Mix," was rather repetitious, even for a remix, and I got bored with it after listening to it a few times. The original radio edit is on there, which is why I gave the CD three stars. It's an enjoyable song, but I bought the CD for more than just that.The video for the radio edit, which is included on the CD, is rather dull. It's basically a bunch of swimsuit models lying around, while a guy who looks old enough to be their dad (that would be Mick) is trying to schmooze with them. I'm not sure who the video's intended target audience was.Bottom line, if you're a major fan of Simply Red, you probably want to go with the "Home" album. If you just want the song "Sunrise," you're better off waiting until it's available on the pay-per-download services."
Agree with A music fan from California

"I have this CD also and I have to say the best part is the original version. The mixes are a little too traditional. I still gave this CD a high rating because I really liked the original version and because this CD contains the video and making of the video footage. If you collect videos you may want to get this one. It was shot in Brazil with beautiful, sexy people surrounding a pool."
Simply stunning!

""Sunrise" the fantastic single from the underrated icon from the 80's Simply Red is back with a very smouldering upbeat number. The first time I heard this song was it got me shakin' up the dancefloor in a local posh bar. I am desperately looking for the single and never got here but I have heard the mixes already and this is a new Simply Red let me tell you! very modern and sleek! A very charming track! Go grab the single and strut the night away! Wooohooo!"
