weeeeee, nice sampler!. Overall this one is great, all the tracks are excellent. You know, i'd have enjoyed all this in the album instead, but well .. that's how marketing works I guess.
Buenaventura (Reflections Vinyl Remix) 9/10
Way back from El Zurdo, this track distinguished itself as the best of the album (at least IMO  ), and now this remix has gave it the little push and energy it needed to be a great track. The track had a total make over resulting on a faster and danceable version, without losing the uplifting elements that made the original so good.
Crush (PvD Album Remix) 8/10
Well, yet another remix of crush. This one is quite a lot darker than the others but it's also a good one to include on a set. It might not be the one that makes people go nuts in the floor, but it'd sure keep them up if you combine it with another kicker.
That's Life (PvD Remix) 9.5/10
Wow, this one is my favourite of the sampler. Although many may say that the vocals in there are a bit awkward and simply should be ripped to make a dub, they actually complement the track perfectly. It's true those vocals aren't the best ever, but still, they do a good job on the track, otherwise the melody's riff would turn quite annoying as it keeps repeating itself all over the track. Excellent remix!.
Reflections (Club Mix) 7/10
Well, this one is just identical to the one in the album, except it doesn't have those background sounds the album version has in the beginning, and also that it's just a few seconds longer. I didn't quite like this one in the album, and don't quite like it here either, this is just a sort of filler.
Nothing but you (Berlin Remix) 8/10
Well, this is a breaks mix of NBY, it's quite nice although for this time the majority of us have already moved on from it. Still, it's a nice one for a breaks mix, and it's quite cheerful.
Kaleidoscope (Vinyl Mix) 7/10
Another one that's identical to the album version, except that you now have it on a vinyl . This is the one that resembles Autumn a bit on its bassline and melody instruments, but still, I don't quite like it.
Time of our lives (UK Club Mix) 7/10
This mix is just a re-arranged version of TOOL. The vocals were just put earlier in the track, and it has some slight changes that umm ... just make it sound weird. It's not a big of a change really, it's like you'd have taken the track, shaked it a bit and ended up with some pieces on different places.
Like a Friend (Vandit Club Mix) 8/10
Well, I gotta say that I didn't quite like this track when I listened to it in the album. The lyrics weren't quite appealing to me, and the rhythm was simply boring. In this version the bassline has been replaced with one that's a lot stronger and energic, resulting in a lot more enjoyable track which could as well fit on the beginning of a set. Nice Work.
Overwall, the sampler gets a 9/10 from me
