Over remixed Imagination

"In 1983 this was 'state of the art' remixing and the songs of Imagination are certainly very good stuff to make nice remixes as they have done on the "Remix Project" of Chaka Kahn. But... no. Although the Imagination material is superb, they did not manage to make this remix album interesting. Sometimes is like your cd player is on repeat (you know the A-B repeat setting on early cd players...). A lot of echoing and scratching is going on and a full use is made of your left and right stereo channel. The best mixes are 'Body Talk', 'Just An Illusion' and 'Heart And Soul'. A must have for fans but not that interesting further."

Classy remix album

"Some of the later compliations / remix albums were very average but Night Dubbing is easily the best.Bear in mind that the original release for this was in'83 and the megamix has been added for this CD so it isn't high tech but that's what makes this album worth commenting on.Super powerful analogue synths were and still are the business for this type of sound and the mixes are cleverly arranged without going OTT.If you like synth funk you will love this.Classic stuff which still sounds good 25 years on."
