I don't think this is quite a stand out as the original album, in my opinion too many of the tracks are too similar to the originals or have similar sounding artists doing the remixes. I was especially dissapointed with the vibrasphere remix, I thought they might have added a bit more energy. For me the last track, 'Hybrid', under a different Antix alias is the best, really nice breaks. I think i expected a bit more from this but ah well!

Lush, plush, antics… Remixed!

When the Kiwi production duo Antix (Barton & Hayden Strom) released their second album Twin Coast Discovery in April 2005 it was met with a landslide of positive comments coming from both progressive circles and from the crossover club crowd… And sure enough, it was a pretty solid album but I still felt it lacked a little ‘bite’… So how about pulling in some of biggest names in progressive trance and have the remix a few tracks? Sounds like a damn good idea to me…

So, how does the Twin Coast Remixes compare to Twin Coast Discovery? Well, both albums have their pros and cons (well d’uh!) but seeing as how I found large parts of TCD too commercial, and how TCR has more stand-out tracks, I’m ready to declare the winner: The Remixes!

That’s right, this is the better album of the two – but I still have to recommend owning both as they complete each other nicely… Another high quality Iboga release that will appeal to most fans of smooth, groovy ear-candy… So yeah, this is recommended to fans of both the original album and to fans of progressive trance in general… It’s real tasty! … Enjoy!
