Fantastic Mellow Remixes

"I have all of the other remix CDs that Yoko has released so far and this is another great addition to my collection. Admittedly, it took a few listenings to get used to it as it is so mellow compared to the first releases (Open Your Box, Walking On Thin Ice, etc.), but the process was heaven. It is done more in an ambient than dance style and provides about thirty-five minutes of good meditation music, although I could just as easily make art to it as visualize with my hands in my lap. If you have enjoyed the other remixes and are looking forward to more and especially if you are looking forward to something to chill to, this CD is a must. Go Yoko!"

"It was unexpected in a way, for this resurgance of Yoko's music in remixed form, to become so prevelant, especially on the dance floors, but is most greatly welcome.The pensive "Will I" is juxtaposed in two ways, one with evocative, hypnotic dance beats, and the other with the pulse of a heartbeat.Along side it is, what i feel, among the greatest gems of all her remixes, which is of "Fly", which is injected with the spoken word piece from "Feeling the Space", "I Learned to Stutter". The way it is integrated into the song, makes it like an outstanding tribute to the life and ways all through the years, of a singular and strong woman. One will see what the unusual title "I Learned to Stutter" means when she gets to it. That's a priceless moment. Not to mention the razor-sharp vocals from Fly come across with a spine-tingling purity and make this a potential club-classic.The next two songs are dreamlike and stellar, with the song "O'oh" turned into a jazzy, and quite lovely anthem, and the song "Death Of Samantha" beautifully complimented by prog-rock like guitar/violin backing.This is essential for any Yoko lover.Her vocals come accross, in all songs, with the ring of great truth, and of course, fabulous sound, for whoever thought she couldn't sing, especially in "Death of Samantha"."

"The "O'oh" and "Death Of Samantha" remixes are the best on this Ono EP. They would both (esp. "O'oh") fit very nicely on any of those "chill-out" compilations you can find out there. Living near NYC, I can clearly see in my head the park Yoko is singing about on the 4th of July.Very nice ambient mixes."
