Incognito waren für mich immer das negative Aushängeschild für Talkin‘ Loud (Sayin‘ Nothing)! Acid Jazz in seiner übelsten, weil voll BWLer tauglichen Version inklusive dynamischem Saxophon-Spieler! Bäh! Hier nun remixt zum großen Teil von zuverlässigen Kräften wie Masters At Work, MJ Cole oder aber Blaze, die aus dem Weichspül-Sound die guten Aspekte herausfiltern und mit eigenen Elementen ergänzen. Vielleicht der Beweis, daß man auch minderwertige Tracks zu guter Musik ummixen kann. Wenn aber Scharlatane wie United Future Organization randürfen, dann nestelt man schnell nach der Skip-Taste am CD-Player. Durchwachsen mit einem Übergewicht an guten Remixen!
