"First off I am giving this cd 5 stars solely on the love of Taylor Dayne's voice and her collection of classic dance songs. But this cd features 20 ---that's right 20 remixes of her new song "How Many". This is way too long so my advice is to listen to a little bit at a time and not the entire 20 in one setting like I foolishly did. The song recently went to number 6 on the dance charts and the mixes range from NRG to hard house to Big Room mixes to euro trance. Remixes:
Disc 1:
1) Original Mix (4:07)
2) Big Bang Edit (4:08)
3) Guido Osorio Club Mix (9:04)-house mix
4) Lifestylus Deep & Heavy Mix(9:39)- Deep/dubby vocal mix
5) Fiburn & Urik Club Mix(8:48)-- Best mix on disc 1
6) Menergy Sound Factory Vox Dub(7:54)
7) Guido Osorio Dub Mix (6:36)
8) Fiburn & Urik Dub Mix (6:15)
9) Lifestylus Dub Mix(7:27)
10) K-Peble Mix(9:34)-- aggressive but yet a hint of disco .
Disc 2:
1) Vibelicious Radio Edit(3:48)
2) DJ Manolo & Gene Therapy Mix(9:32)
3) Big Bang Mix(8:15)---Tribal!!!
4) Bet Boyz Vocal Dub(5:50) - piano driven hard house mix
5) DJ's Inc. Mix(9:36)- Thunderpuss Big room style remix with her vocals held longer and has more intense energy on this mix.
6) Nocturnal Minds Mix(8:47)- Euro/trance mix -second best mix
7) Vibelicious Anthem Mix(9:00)- a mixture of tribal and trance-almost like a classic Junior Vasquez mix.
8) Wes Wallace Dub(6:22) -trance
9) Eddie X & Spritual Being Mix(7:46) - too busy and the find a way to trounce Taylor's vocals which is a hard thin to do.
10) The Larry K Classic Club Mix(7:43)--The best mix of this cd single. Just like a Cher remix!
This cd is way too long so don't be discouraged to listen to them all because they are from one of dance music's best singers ever."

EXCELLENT

"I was somewhat hesitant when I knew I'd have to listen to the same song 20 times. However, I became very interested when I heard the original version, and my excitement kept growing. This double CD features some excellent remixes. My favorites are the "Big Bang Remix", which is very dark and smooth, and the "Nocturnal Minds Mix", which borders on Trance. Taylor's voice, which I have always loved, is getting better and better with the years. I hope she will release more soon. If you are into remixes with diva vocals, this is a lot of music for your money."

"This cd single is great. The best mix is the radio edit (the single version of the song). It's a shame "How Many" is not getting the airplay it deserves, however, it is a Top 10 hit peaking at #6 on the Hot Dance/Club Play Chart. Taylor gives a great show-stopping vocal proformance too. The other mixes all create a new sound of the song without altering it too much. Great 2 CD single! Keep up the good work Taylor Dayne!"
