Disappointing remixes!

These remixes completely ruin the songs on this CD. I wish I could send this back. Instead of truly extending the song with clever and energetic remixes, this collection is nothing but a kinda of trip-hop/house beat mix on each of the songs. It reminds me of the kind of late night background mixes they play at a club-when everyone is not really dancing anymore but hanging around the bar drinking and "grooving" to the house beat. This album should be called Diana-Extended HOUSE mixes. Very boring CD. She should have had Gigi d'Agostino or Erasure remix it for her!

I want more of this!

"Diana Extended" was not only a brilliant name for her remix collection, in that she self-referenced her own famous hair extensions, but the remixes were QUALITY, by some of the best in the business (most prominently Frankie Knuckles and David Morales). The one problem is, I want more of what this disc offers! On my personal wish list for updated remixes would be: "Swept Away", "Ain't No Mountain High Enough", "My Old Piano", "Reach Out I'll Be There", and "Muscles". For those who love this disc, there are additional remixes of D's classics to be found. Look for the '93 European Cd single for "Upside Down". It's a totally different and slammin' remix. Also, the PWL '88/'89 remixes of "Love Hangover", and the 1990 Phil Chill mixes of "I'm Still Waiting." These are all killer. Also, the UK Cd single for "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" contains the Joey Negro remixes for "Love Hangover" and "I'm Coming Out". And lastly, for the best mixes of her best 90s dance song, you MUST get the T-Empo and BT remixes of "Take Me Higher"! These are on English vinyl and RARE, but well worth the price.

oooowww, yeah, ah, yeah .... ooooooooh yeah!

Sorry, kids, but if you didn't like this CD (I didn't when I first bought it when it came out), listen to it again. We never heard the intro to THE BOSS that is on this CD; it's all Diana -- purring, singing her heart out, all vocal beginning -- exquisite! The vocal intro to LOVE HANGOVER is also "new" -- vamping, playful Diana -- it's brilliant! The re-mix of CHAIN REACTION is perhaps my favorite of them all (only because I always found the song banal; this re-mix is hip-hop fun -- put it on constant re-play and listen to this song for about a half an hour -- it definitely had to be made that way ...)
