well... I don't like the GOLD one >.<
only STEP YOU and Beautifull fighters 9_9 and a bit Moments, but is not my favorite at all
so sad, because I want that album only for Happy Ending but is Horrible TT_TT

BUT....

the SILVER one is really cool ^^ I realy love many of the songs there... in fact... I can't say what one isn't good ^__^

I was expecting SILVER to be better than GOLD, but I was wrong. I love Gold I think a lot of the remixes on the album are pretty good,as for SILVER I only really liked one song and that was it -_-

maybe that's becuase the first part where ayu start to singing "toko wa nita mono doushi"
is very similar to the chorus of
BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE
"New Orden" singing :
"Everytime I see you falling I get down on my knees and pray"
LOL is very similar

well ..is what i feel...I LOVE THE RESEMBLANCE!

OMG, that makes TOTAL sense!!! I LOVE Bizarre Love Triangle to death <3 I never would've figured that out, though! :O Wow, you rock xDD

yesterday when i was walkin' in the streets while i listen "Beau.Fighter mix" in my ipod I thought: "oh my good i I Heard the beginning Before...where??
and at night i dreamed about "love bizarre triangle" song
and when i wake up in the morging...i say "yes!..it was that song!" :D

I thought I wasn't into remixes.. but I was wrong.. I'm in LOVE with those two ayu-mi-x!O_O
I prefer Silver one than Gold!!

I'm really enjoying the remixes so far but Jesus Christ that one of Greatful days (On GOLD) is so AWFUL! It's just a mixture of really annoying sounds and no rhythm at all. *shudder*

I hate the moments one XDD Is awful X°D

Let me just say that I'm not an Ayumi Hamasaki remix junkie. That being said, here's my review.

-GOLD-

STEP you × THE YOUNG PUNX!
Well, I was expecting a lot better from THE YOUNG PUNX! so I'm not particularly amused. I'm not a big fan of the whizzing left and right/up and down sound effects they got going on all throughout the song. Still, I don't think it's a bad remix.
6/10

Moments × dj KENTARO
I really like the chaotic feeling given to this mix. Didn't think it would work with a song like Moments, but it did for me. The verses are especially hot.
8/10

talkin' 2 myself × STONEBRIDGE
Feeling this mix a lot. It's almost as epic as the original mix I think.. Just in club music form. Love the speed of the vocals.
9/10

Beautiful Fighters × MSTRKRFT
Very catchy, I love how they played with the vocals. I love the part towards the end with the synthesizer break, it's sick!
9.5/10

INSPIRE × ARMAND VAN HELDEN
"Kuchi!" I think it's brilliant. Probably something I would do if I were a remixer. I love the way he manipulated the vocals too.
8.5/10

Greatful days × PARA ONE
This is an amazing remix and after hearing it, I'm convinced that PARA ONE are extremely talented individuals. Out of all the remixes on both compilations, I get the feeling the most work was put into this one - and they must have been pretty damn proud of it since they put it on their MySpace so early! I love the breakbeat stuff, I'm just so fascinated by this genre.
10/10

Startin' × SHINICHI OSAWA
Okay, it kinda reminds me of a video game and the first thing that pops into my head is Bowser chasing after Peach. It's alright.
6/10


glitter × SOUL CENTRAL
So this is like the token 'cheesy techno' song of the compilation? I like how they used most of the vocals.
7/10

BLUE BIRD × 7TH GATE
I didn't feel anything from this one to be honest. It felt so empty I don't even think I can give it a rating.
-/10

ourselves × COLDCUT
Pretty hot. Gives me an 80's R&B vibe. The chorus sounds a lot less grating than it does in the original version.
8/10

Ladies Night × AFRA & INCREDIBLE BEATBOX BAND
THIS **** IS HOTT. I love this remix. The beat boxing sounds, the elements of the original song, and the random dude talking were all brilliant.
10/10

HAPPY ENDING × MAD PROFESSOR
I'm probably the black sheep here, but I enjoyed this mix. Although it sounds like aliens got a hold of the original arrangement of HAPPY ENDING, I love how abstract it is. I can definitely imagine myself digging this on the boardwalk at night.
9.5/10

-SILVER-

GAME × YOJI
I liked the effects and the sounds the remixer chose to use, I was just really bored with it. The remixer seemed to have chose such a random part of the song to use as the focal point. I don't know.
5/10

Together When... × CO-FUSION
Perfect. Somebody else said this somewhere I think, but I also feel that it's really close in capturing the same emotion as the original. It climaxes and resolves very well.
10/10

No way to say × HIGH CONTRAST
Drum and bass is yummy, so I love it. And is it me or did they lower the pitch of her voice a little bit?
9/10

alterna × FREEFORM FIVE
Pretty good. one of the more seemingly repetitive mixes of the compilations for me, but okay.
6.5/10

HEAVEN × DAISHI DANCE
Didn't like it. What a pretentious remix! I don't know, in this particular case, I wasn't digging the epic piano and string instrument with the clean-cut disco rhythm. Stick to straight AOV's or something, DAISHI DANCE.
4/10

fated × MAKOTO
Another drum and bass remix = YES. Love the part after the choruses. The whole remix flowed very well. I got a summer night vibe to the remix, just like the original.
9/10

About You × BLACK STROBE
This remix is SICK. Love the industrial-ness of it. Might just be my favorite out of the whole compilation.
10/10

decision × FORCE OF NATURE
If there's any remixer that best took advantage of the vocal track they were given, it'd definitely be FORCE OF NATURE. It flows well, it's dark and techno-y, and they used some of the original strings arrangement, which I thought was really cool. The melody of decision really shines here.
10/10


JEWEL × STEPHANE POMPOUGNAC
Really boring. I don't know. Maybe they should have given JEWEL to DAISHI DANCE instead.
2.5/10

CAROLS × PLAYGROUP
A waste of four minutes of my life.
1/10

part of Me × CARL CRAIG
Well, I like the BGM. I think the mix would be brilliant if the tempo of her voice was sped up.. but.. she sounds like she's in physical pain.
5.5/10

walking proud × CALM
It is CALM. I like it, it did 'walking proud' justice.
7/10

An enjoyable experience I must say, a lot more interesting than the release of MY STORY CLASSICAL. :tired

My top 10 mixes from the new ayu-mi-x sets:

1. Beautiful Fighters (MSTRKRFT)
2. Startin' (Shinichi Osawa)
3. About You (Black Strobe)
4. talkin' 2 myself (Stonebridge)
5. fated (Makoto)
6. alterna (Freeform Five)
7. Ladies Night (Afra & Incredible Beatbox Band)
8. ourselves (Coldcut)
9. HAPPY ENDING (Mad Professor)
10. BLUE BIRD (7th Gate)

I didn't care for...

- HEAVEN (Daishi Dance)
- CAROLS (Playgroup)
- GAME (Yoji)
- Greatful Days (Para One)

"Beautiful Fighters" and "Startin'" have never been favorites of mine, but these mixes really make them something special!

is it just me or does anyone else hear more mature vocals of ayu in the no way to say remix? it sounds to me like she re-recorded it...

lol cootchie...
I wish my copies would hurry up...I want to listen to them already...the anticipation is killing me!

i really was dissapointed..>.<
I prefer fanmixes over a lot of these
but I really found ladies night addicting and beautiful fighters
i usually love remixes..but a lot of them were...ugh..annoying

I enjoyed Silver much more than Gold.
Well thank goodness somebody's thinking Ayu's saying "Gucci Gucci" at the beginning of Inspire, 'cause I (and my 4 year old daughter) were hearing something else (unchi unchi... haha).

LOL@INSPIRE! "GUCCI GUCCI GUCCI~~" Now she's proudly announcing her love to GUCCI. XDD


I'm currently downloading Silver. I listened to Gold and t2m, Moments and glitter are my favs so far! ^^

I am speechless xD :roflmao :rofl. INSPIRE actually sounds good after you pointing out GUCCI :luv2

I was disappointed with Beautiful Fighters remix because the original is my favorite Ayu song, and it wasn't much like the original.
Gold Favorites: STEP you, t2m, ourselves
Silver Favorites: Game, Together when...., Heaven, Fated, decision, Jewel, Carols, Part of Me

I really preferred Silver overall. :love

I think they are both horrible. It made me remember it was the Cyber Trance and the Euro Beat/Trance/Whatever that I like.
