"this is unfortunately the only falco cd readily available in the u.s. the remixers butcher falco's greatest songs until they are unrecognizable and unlistenable. i love falco and i love techno but the two just don't mix. falco's 80s hits are ready-made dance tracks and the added club effects do nothing for them. and the fact that most of the tracks are seven or eight minutes makes for tedious listening. plus the version of rock me amadeus is just wrong!! all it does is slow down the beat and replace the chorus with a monotone "sugar's sweet" ad infinitum. it removes all the novelty and charm out of the song. i simply can't imagine who the remixers thought this album would appeal to. it's heresy to falco fans and not a particularly good album in general. please don't make my mistake and waste three hours of work on this album. yes i get paid minimum wage!"

"The version of Junge Romer is outstanding, actually much better than the original. It's a very subtle sleaze or at least low-tempo house version at around 120bpm with nice warm pads and a very nice arrangement all around. Other remixes may fall short of originals, but are still interesting to listen to. There is a hi-nrg version of Vienna Calling, a hip-housy version of Der Kommissar and a down-beat version of Rock Me Amadeus, among other "hits". If you like Falco and you like dance music, then you will like this. Otherwise, you probably will not."

The word Remix is in the title!

"How smart do you have to be to buy a CD called REMIX Hit Collection then complain about it having remixes? LOL"
