Title: Remixers butcher the original beauty of motown classics
Review: I bought this on the strengh of hearing a remix of Lets Get It On, from Marvin Gaye, which gave the song a new feel and managed to preserve some of the charm of the original. Sadly to report this was not the case with many of the other remixes here, which have suffered from having most or all of the original instrumentation removed and the vocals messed around beyond all recognition. The Jackson 5 remixes suffer worst of all. This is nothing but a hatchet job and should be avoided like the plague by any true Motown fan. If Motown want to bring the music to a new and wider audience they should consider digitally remastering and/or remixing using the original tapes. What has been presented here is nothing more than butchery of the Motown tradition and history.
Is the review positive or negative?
