Does the original need remastering?

Gui Boratto's remix is the only one I'd consider buying. The others aren't very interesting.

Someone here previously expressed interest. I don't think it does personally. Gui's version is very reminiscent of his "No Turning Back" anthemic style, and WOW's own version is reminiscent of the original in many ways. Nothing groundbreaking from anyone but I'm enjoying the sound of all the remixes so far.

I really hope they don't destroy this tune.

I'd say there are few mid-90s albums that still sound as good as WOW. But then, they remastered Xpander.

ooo logistics, that should be interesting.

gui boratto is like the deadmau5 of tech house. the guys is releasing tracks left and right, up and down, east and west!

^Heresy! The difference is Boratto's work is head and shoulders above the majority of the dreck that the cheese-grater turns out.

Indeed, really hooked on his stuff at the moment.

I do like his remix here and also WOW's 2010 update although not much is different from the original as mentioned. The update makes it a bit more chilled though.

'The Gift' does not need a tech-house white noise update IMO

Love Boratto's, the rest doesn't really do anything for me or enough to make me ditch Boratto's

It would just be nice for it to be released digitally.

Though one of these days I've just got to get around to buying the album.

Yes, yes you do.

And getting Gui "Midas Touch" Boratto on duty is no run-of-the-mill "white noise tech house update" (IMO).

never thought I'd hear a wonky dubstep remix of the gift

That Logistics Remix sounds kinda fun

Agreed...but I'm digging it! It takes all kinds.

To be frank, and this seems somewhat rare for re-releases of this sort, there is not a single bad version out of the bunch.

Nice remix from Gui Boratto
