MISIA - Misia Remix 1999 * The Glory Day - BMG Japan Cassette
Japan's soul diva Misia returns with her latest Remix EP! This Four Track cassette features remixes of her gospel jam exclusive to 12" and cassette. While the original mix was quite slow, these mixes propel "The Glory Day" into super dancefloor smashes! Tokyo's DJ Emma reworks the track into a smooth and uplifting garage anthem, while GOMI transforms it into another New York Big Room Dance pumper. The only weak point is the remix by Tomoki Hirata (better known for tracks included on the Playstation video game "Beat Mania). Over-anxious beats ill-suited for the powerful vocal and an over the top male chorus distract the listener from the original feel of the original. Otherwise, a stellar package and well worth the effort and money to obtain. Misia triumphs again!

Monday Michiru - Tomorrow's Sunrise - Kitty/Polygram Japan CD
The latest single from Monday's new album "Optimista". Produced by the inimitable Shinichi Ozawa, the track comes in three delicious flavours: the sweet jazzy album version, "Murphy Meets Titomaxx", which is a latin salsa mix, and the stomping "Sakura Hills Disco 3000 Remix". All three mixes are produced by Ozawa, showing an amazing ability to switch between genres without any difficulty. As a special bonus, there are two deep house remixes of "Higher" by New York's Joe Claussell. Those into the Spiritual Life sound will not be disappointed. Another must-have!
