The Mix Queen
There are just so many artists out there that use the power of remixes for their songs to make them even better onto the music scene. That does go around quite well, but other times it just can be too much for any musical act. It has had its faults for acts like Destiny's Child, Jennifer Lopez and so many musical icons. Toni Braxton is another perfectional example. Unlike Mariah Carey or Britney Spears, Toni's voice has definitely been a lot more focused than manufactured woth her remixes. That isn't a bad thing, but when there happens to be a remix collection of your songs, some just seem to wonder.
Un-Break My Heart: The Remix Collection, is a collection of remixes of Toni Braxton's well-received tracks from her work with Arista & LaFace records in the 1990's. The songs here on this collection seem to be a little bit more repititious, and replayed, rather than showing a bit more widely detailed versions of her tracks. Considering that the collection does feature remixed versions of some of her great tracks like Un-Break My Heart, You're Makin' Me High, Hit The Freeway, and Spanish Guitar. The songs here are good, but there just could've been a little more variety here on this album rather than only a few songs remixed more than once. Especially where other good songs like Another Sad Love Song, Breathe Again, and Just Be A Man About It weren't even featured in remixed versions on this collection at all.
All in all, Toni Braxton still has some great pop songs here remixed well, but I was just expecting a little bit more here on this collection. This is fine as a novelty for any die hard Toni Braxton fan, but others might just want to void this package and consider the 2003 Ultimate Toni Braxton.

Time for the times
i wholeheartedly agree with everyone who would have wanted 2 discs with all the full length versions. It's also too bad the eddie baez mix of "I Don't Want To" wasn't used for this continuous mix. For collectors of long versions, here's how the times pan out:
1. intro (1:18)
2. Un-break My Heart (5:51)
3. Spanish Guitar (7:48)
4. You're Makin Me High (8:17)
5. I Don't Want To (7:32)
6. Hit The Freeway (4:26)
7. He Wasn't Man Enough (6:38)
8. He Wasn't Man Enough (3:45)
9. Maybe (4:20)
10. Un-break My Heart (8:28)
11. Spanish Guitar (6:22)
Toni and Hex @ there BEST
This is the ultimate collection, by Toni Braxton, mixed by the famous Hex Hector, using not only HIS remixes of her classics but everyone from Soul Solution, to Rauhofer. It is excellent, It REALLY should've been a 2 disc set, I would pay the $$$, I have all these full length remixes, as well as some that are not included, there is alot to work with, possibly in time and if the product sells a 2 disc set will be avialable overseas, with longer mixes as these tend to range from 5-10 min some not even that, howevere do not let that sway your decision, you really should get this CD, especially for those who do not DJ or own a "turntable" (remember those?) most of the remixes are on 12" vinyl and not on CD format like "Un-Break my Heart" etc and some others. So do buy this CD it's an incredible $$$ for the amount you get, the various dance club remixes, and not to forget Toni and her remarkable pure voice, mixed non stop flawless...by Hex Hector himself (one of the most well known DJ's around) working with everyone from Madonna, Enrique, Faith Hill, Whitney, Lara Fabian, Anastacia...and if that is not enough very well known names, you do not know "great" dance remixes. BUT we all are different in a world where people have different tastes. I can guarantee if you put this CD on at your next July 4th or any holiday party, you will get the best compliments, a party is not a PARTY without the music. (NEVER play a mixed CD on shuffle...You tend to get the tail end of the previous OR the beginning "a sample" of the up comming song, really destroys the feeling). This remix CD sure beats looking around for the "full length mixes" which most are no longer avialable, do spend the $$$. IT's WORTH IT,
Jason Professional DJ
