I was really intrigued by Emma Shapplin's, "Spente le Stelle" a couple years ago. Sarah Brightman is also along these lines...she has an incredible voice (one of the best I've ever heard) and her fearless challange of mixing opera and trance is great. My favorites are the ATB mixes for the first song and the very last mix for the second song (which is a true opera/trance mix). But you really have to be open to this type of mix to enjoy it. In any case, just listening to Sarah Brightman sing anything is captivating.

I haven't been a Sarah Brightman far too long, maybe two years I think. I am not a fan of opera music by all means, a lot of it bores me or gets on my last nerves. Although her music isn't pure opera, Sarah still manages to take elements of opera music and make it interesting for this music fan. I think Sarah has one of the most beautiful voices on this planet. She sings like an angel. My first Sarah Brightman album was 2000's "La Luna", which remains a personal fave of mine. One of my favorite songs on the album is the Procol Harum cover "A Whiter Shade of Pale". Sarah does a stunning interpretation of the classic rock song. I came across the single for "A White Shade of Pale/A Question of Honour" a couple of years ago and was intrigued to see that there were remixes of the songs. I was eager to hear what Sarah would sound like remixed. There were some good mixes and some not-so good mixes. I wasn't too fond of the Ecstasy mix of "A Whiter Shade of Pale". As much as I enjoy Rhys Fulber's work in general, I didn't think he did a great job remixing this particular song. It was too mellow. I preferred the more uptempo remixes like the ATB remix and my personal favorite the Paralyzer Remix, a killer trance track. As far as "A Question of Honour", the Pech remix got on my nerves. How typically cheesy. Of all the remixes, I felt that the Damage Control remix was the best although I did enjoy the Knock Out mix and Tom Lord-Alge's mix. Despite its flaws, I would just love it if Sarah would put out more remixes of her songs. That would totally rock my world. It would show a totally different side of Sarah's music that listeners rarely hear.

I keep buying her recordings and I paid good money to go to her concerts. I do not know if she is the best, but there are not too many equals to her either. This CD is right on the top of the world.

This little CD is jammed with stuff. Not to mention the remixes of Question of HOnor and Whiter Shade of Pale, but it also includes a screensaver which is absolutely stunning. I've enjoyed it. If I were a disc jockey it would certainly be a must. For me, I just pop it in rotation with all my other CD's...I don't know many people who can listen to remix after remix such as these unless they are in a club or at a party. But, don't let it diminish my message-these are fabulous remixes!
