This is really fun to listen to. However, I must say that listening to such albums I always wonder how much of the work here has been done by a DJ and how much is just a merit of the original artists. Is it something more than copying and pasting several catchy tunes one after another, sometimes only with some transition effects added? If so, where's the added value? Where's the "art"? Where's the creativity? In skillful use of CTRL+C & CTRL+V?

Nevertheless, this is exactly the case where you can feel why jamendo is such a great place. Guess what! You can check all the original tracks out. Right here right now. For free. You can compare them with these remixed versions. You can even try to remix them better.

I haven't listened to the originals yet, so my opinion is based only on listening to this album. And, as I already said, it was fun.
