Not the best Panoptica disc

"For me, someone who has almost all the recorded material of Panoptica, this is not the best choice. I was expecting this disc had Panoptica's style mixes from excellent Nortec Collective's tracks, I got a little bit disappointed. Since I've heard most of the tracks mixed in this disc, I got confused about the final result: a non Nortec style set of mixed tracks. There is only one good track, it is called SEM, originally recorded by Latinsizer. It has great beats from its original style and Panoptica gives it a great set of loops and mood. If you expect listening to a great work from Panoptica, consider the disc called Panoptica, this includes tracks from different styles and you'll never get disappointed with this disc."
Viva Nortec, Viva Panoptica!

"After hearing Panoptica's remix of the Calexico track a few times on KCRW here in LA, I decided to go out and buy Panoptica's solo remix album "Ahora Yo a Ti" - I was not disappointed!
The album largely features remixes of others' works, be it Calexico, Her Space Holiday, and of course Panoptica's own group Nortec Collective. This is an album that grows on you with repeat listens. While not as in-your-face infectious as Nortec Collective's most recent album "Tijuana Sessions, Vol. 3", Panoptica has crafted a cerebral and highly enjoyable solo album that open-minded listeners will enjoy."
