first of all, the house scene just isn't what it was 8 years ago ayu-mi-x II era. house remixes were great back then. Hex Hector, Jonathan Peters & Junior Vasquez were the "it" thing and their anthem dance mixes were great & very accesible.
Especially Thunderpuss was great. "trauma (thunderpuss mix)" and "Surreal (Thunderpuss mix)" were just awesome
GOLD & SILVER are very current house scene, sorta industrial and lots of buzzing & distortions or whatever. current house trends sorta sucks so it's really no wonder if G&S doesn't live up to the previous ayu-mi-xes (except no.5 lol).
I was hoping for more out of G&S, but I'm pretty satisfied with them. The remixes are mostly quality work. There are some gems there, I never thought I'd see Yoji remixing Ayu
what mostly bugs me about S&G is the sparse use of vocals. the past GREAT remixes of Hex Hector & Vasquez and co always used the full vocal track. full vocal tracks is always much more nicer to listen to, the plain chorus is just for club versions.
at least Ayu-Mi-X 6 is better than Ayu-Mi-X 5 lol
