Customer Reviews

Welcoming you to Sarah's Harem!
These are wonderful remixes. There are 3 remixes of Harem and one of It's a Beautiful Day. These are lots of fun to listen to because they're so different from what Sarah usually does...The track list is this:
1-Hex Hector Vocal Mix (10:02)
2-Robbie Rivera Vocal Mix (6:32)
3-Manny Lehman Vocal Mix (11:05)
4-It's a Beautiful Day remixed by Groove Brothers (3:28)

Oh my ears!
This single is a missed opportunity! What you get is basically the album tracks with repetitive and dated house rhythms clumsily spread on top. Imagine if the Eastern instrumentation had been highlighted a la Transglobal Underground, or perhaps the ambiance explored in a similar way to the remixes William Orbit did for Madonna's "Frozen" single. Come on Sarah and Frank, give us a real remix, not just the same song with a cacophony of drum machines on top.

Could have been better, but then again...it's remixes
I'm really not crazy about this remix Cd single. First of all, the remix for "It's a beautiful Day" is really bad. The beat is okay, but Sarah's voice is really badly sped up, and it's made her sound like a warbling chipmunk. I don't like the way they edited the vocal parts, but left the instrumentation the same.
The vibrato leaves a lot be desired!

I do like the other remixes, because they are well mixed, and a lot of the original parts of the song have been kept. My favourite of all is track 3, because it's got the most "original" parts from the song. This is the longest remix of Sarah, that I was always able to stand listening to.

Hex Hector remixes pretty well, but I can see a lot of "been there, done that" in his remix. There's not really much "new" sound to his version of this remix. It's colorful, and I can see myself dancing to it, but it's not sensational.

I bought the CD because it's collectible, and it's good to have a healthy collection of remixes of Sarah, as well as other artists.

So, I gave it 4 stars. It's not excellent, but it's worth buying.
