"Having enjoyed much of Tosca's earlier works, I picked this up on faith. After listening to it, however, it's clear I made a big mistake. This is one of the worst albums I've heard in a long time. Tosca should be ashamed of themselves for attaching their name to a collection of dated, uncreative remixes by a bunch of hack DJs. As if to add insult to injury, their one "new" track on here is 9 seconds of silence. Unfortunately, I'm quite serious. It will hard for me to overlook this travesty of an album the next time a Tosca CD comes out."

An Unwelcome Departure

"I have been a big fan of Tosca as well as the Kruder and Dorfmeister team for years. The double CD set Sessions by K&D is the best downtempo collection ever, IMHO. I was very excited to learn recently that there was a Tosca CD (Souvenirs) about which I didn't know, so when I sat down to give it a serious listen with my headphones, I found myself extremely confused and disappointed. I did not understand this experiment. I found it to be so irritating that it broke my heart. I understand the need for artists to reach out and explore new directions, but not here. Not Tosca. I hope they go back to what they do best-- minimalist, deep, sexy grooves."
