IMO the funniest remix award goes to : HAPPY ENDING × MAD PROFESSOR cuz it's sooo weird o.o

And i love the beginning of Heaven remix..it's sounds GREAT.

[freedreamer]

LOVE/AMAZING:
STEP you
talkin' 2 myself
Beautiful Fighters
ourselves
Together When...
alterna
HEAVEN
About You
decision
JEWEL
walking proud

OK:
Moments
INSPIRE (its actually fun to listen to HAHAH)
glitter
Ladies Night
GAME
part of Me
fated
CAROLS

DISLIKE:
Greatful Days (broken radio)
Startin' (quite bland...less impact than the actual)
BLUE BIRD (quite..boring i feel)
HAPPY ENDING (wahhhh...this is really mad)
No Way To Say (doesnt really appeal...i tot the Melody didnt go with the bg music..)

some remixes are truely amazing..and some show Ayu's voice in much greater clarity...
she should have made something for "fairyland" instead of HAPPY ENDING...

thus...overall, SILVER is better HAHA
I actually prefer remixes that dont just have the chorus..(but well..t2m is exception)
(i dont think i will find myself listening to anything else other than those i LOVE and are AMAZING)

[mcken200]

i would say overall the remixes werent too bad,some were awesome though.
I was never really into ayumix that much but however since ayumix is out surely an ayu trance hopefully will make a well deserved re-appearance. i love ayutrance

my fav remixes are probably

About you
beautiful fighters -better than original maybe
moments
no way to say

[UHPlus]

i downloaded SILVER....

dun like those heavily trance remixed songs like GAME, Together when..., No way to say

but those more laid-back, simple remixes like HEAVEN, part of me, walking proud, fated, decision are surprising good! Especially the violin and piano in HEAVEN - DAISHI DANCE! I loved it! Gives the song a completely new feeling!

[AyUmIXx]

hmm i've never been a fans of remix album ...
but i love some of the remix songs...such as HEAVEN and ladies night...

[ohsixthirty]

does anyone else wonder why HAPPY ENDING is included? not because of the remix style (which is not my favorite, but exactly what i had expected from mad professor), but simply, why did they pick that song? its just some random album song. every other song on here was either a single or at least had a PV of its own, except HAPPY ENDING. seems like they would have picked one of the other songs with PVs/Singles instead.

[Hanabi_surreal]

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 ^__^

[Halla]

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

[ayuayu798]

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 -_-

[everlastingRAINBOW]

From GOLD I liked:
talkin' 2 myself
Beautiful Figters
Startin'

Beautiful Fighters was best IMO ! It was the most poppy and fun

What did they do to my beloved HAPPY ENDING? I need to listen to the original to clean my ears!

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!"

[Ayappe]

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!!

[edgefusion]

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*

[Ayappe]

I hate the moments one XDD Is awful X°D

[Coelacanth]

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.

[Northerner]

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

[starlett]

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...

[ownsarai]

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

[lilchan]

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

[yatsuda]

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).
