OK to dance to, not a listening pleasure

"The first time I heard a bilingual/Spanglish remix of "Suavemente," I was dancing in a favorite club and was delighted by the novelty. After my boyfriend bought the Remixes CD, however, I found that many of my favorite songs suffered in the translation. The charm of "Suavemente," for example, is totally lost as the best lines of the song disappear into a mix of lesser new lyrics and harsh-sounding translations. Why translate the song if you're going to drop out a wonderful line such as, "Dame un beso mas que en mi boca cabe"? ("Give me one kiss more than my mouth can hold") [Pardon the lack of accents!] If you want the CD as dance music for a noisy party, it may provide novelty, but I can't recommend it for everyday listening. (_Suavemente_, however, I recommend highly!)"

I want my money back

"This is trully awful. I wish I had not bought this item. What a waste of money."

"It's almost 2004 and these remixes are extremely outdated. Even at their release date, these remixes sounded awful. This is a very bad production and never deserved to be released. Just very unproffesional mixing even by known DJ's such as Eddie Arroyo and A.T. Molina. I could've done much better with my computer remixing software and a little cash. I checked it out from the library, which was a good thing because the music is "unlistenable", if such word exists."
