Did anyone here get the Mariah remix cd, I haven't stoped listening to it, I thought I would buy it and just put in the collection, but this cd is hot, however there is no ballad in sight

Here is THE New York TIMES review

Punk Rock has died a thousand deaths, but its much-maligned cousin disco just keeps going. As long as there are dance clubs, people will need something to dance to; a quarter century after its commercial peak, the legacy of disco seems richer than ever. Two new releases carry on the disco tradition: Basement Jaxx's "Kish Kash" and Mariah's "The Remixes."

Mariah Carey is a traditional disco diva, and a great one. And she has never been easier to enjoy than on "The Remixes," a double-disc set that compiles a decade's worth of house and hip-hop remixes.

The hip-hop disc isn't perfect; it proves, among other things, that Jermaine Dupri is a hit-and-miss producer. But it includes some of Ms. Carey's most appealing collaborations. "Breakdown," with Krayze Bone and Wish Bone (from Bone Thugs-n-Harmony), is a marvelous demonstration of sing-rapping, with the three vocalists taking turns skipping over the syllables. And on "Miss You," with Jadakiss, the rapper has fun addressing the pop star as if she were merely a drug dealer's moll: "When I thought you was late with the coke/ That's when things fell apart Ma, and it stagnated us both."

The other disc is even better: Ms. Carey's brassy, breathy vocals sound best when accompanied by a thumping house beat, and David Morales, in particular, knows how to turn a histrionic ballad into a club classic. His 11-minute "Def Mix" version of "Dreamlover" is a revelation: after a long percussion break, he isolates a few of Ms. Carey's ad-libs; her ultrafalsetto vocals sound spookier than all of Basement Jaxx's sound effects combined.

Thanks, Twink...I'm on my way out now and I'll pick it up...

The dance album is really good but when you get to the hip hop album its just a bunch of songs we've heard of except for like two songs, "the one remix" and the one with peter gunz, i never heard that remix before.
