Summary: Good CD for quiet reflection
Comment: I agree with the comments the remix CD was a nice addition but in no way compares to the original disc. The comparison to Massive Attack were fairly apt and you can hear hints of a "Teardrop" sound to several songs; it's far lighter, subtle, and ethereal than a Morcheeba, Portishead, Olive, or other groups which others compared this to.
This definitely isn't music for a vigorous exercise session or dancing, but is perfect for a day of quiet reflection. It would also be ideal if you were looking for something which would be agreeable to an extremely broad cross-section of listeners, it'd be a nice changeup from classical or similar during your dinner or cocktail party.

Summary: Forget the remixes
Comment: The core album of this set is awesome; the remixes are forgettable. But again, disc one is amazing!

Summary: Not what I expected
Comment: I read many reviews of this CD that referred to the music as Trip-Hop. The phrase "Don't believe everything you read" comes to mind immediately. The music is anything but Trip-Hop. The second CD is a compliation of re-mixes that makes a faint attempt towards trip-hop, but falls extremely short. If you asked me what the music is like I would tell you that the first CD is "Sweet Music" (a nice female voice accompanied by simple instruments portraying a beautiful day at the local park...almost resembling a sad attempt at pop music. As a big fan of true trip-hop such as Massive Attack, I was somewhat excited when I began listening to the second CD. The first track quickly caught my attention and I began to think that my purchase wasn't a total loss. However, I was quickly dissapointed by the progressive fade of energy as each track drug on.

Summary: Never a dull moment
Comment: A really good CD, although it took a few spins to really appreciate it. This album is amazing. Mandalay is an artist who isn't well known enough, but I feel special just having stumbled across their music. They remind me of a mix of "Everything But The Girl" , "Spicehouse" and "Portishead". I have always wondered why some bands just never get as popular as others, and Mandalay should be more popular. There is so much to like in their music. I was actually listening to a techno set and one of the tracks incorportated was Beautiful and that just set me off. Mandalay blends different sounds into a brilliant piece of music that will get play time from any owner for a long time. Never a dull moment-- highly recommended.

Summary: simply great
Comment: this is one of my favorite albums. nicola has the most style and depth of any "trip-hop" singer out there. the production is great on this album too. this is like a "greatest hits" album, so all of the songs on here are superb. talk about most bang for the buck too, cuz the second cd contains a plethora of remixes. If you buy any mandalay album, you must buy this one. if you're a true fan pick up the other albums and be sure to visit http://nicolahitchcock.com
