Versus

I'd never heard any of their stuff until I listened to Amazon's On-line Samples & read the reviews. I was a bit wary of the Simon & Garfunkel comparisons as I'm far from a fan, but when I played the 1st track of this remix album I just sank into a state of utter thought provoking "chill" & played the album back to back twice! The vocals are amazing & very uplifting. This is coming from a fan of Zero 7, Bonobo, Bent, Quantic, & Tim 'Love' Lee. Buy it now!

Complete Quality 💐💕💐💕💐💕💐

It was a compilation album & although some of the tracks were ok' it wasn't as good as i had hoped.

Very good. Indie music

Great seller, not so great CD - prefer original versions

PERFECT

A realy good album from an amazing Japanese band. The tracks are heavy and good to dance to! Just a shame its so easerly confused with a Norwegen band.

So far "Quite is the new loud" is the best CD of 2001. The Norwegian duo that defined the neo-acoustics with their Nick Drake meets Simon and Garfunkel diamond sharp songs managed to sound new and surprising although traveling in a well-established path. You might say this made their achievement even greater. And now they have taken half of that CD and some other songs and managed to rearrange them and remix them so they would qualify as nu-cool-lounge. The good news: "Versus" is so good and enjoyable it puts you in a big dilemma. Where do Kings of Convenience sound better? Here or there? Acoustic and sad or electronically happy? I say you should own both. These guys really write masterpiece songs.

I consider the Röyksopp version of Don't Know What I Can Save You From canonical, and also the only way to get Gold for the Price of Silver with Erot on vinyl as we'll probably never see Tellé Sampleplate on wax sadly.

Che dire, i Kings of Convenience non deludono mai. Questo Disco rappresenta vari Take presi in Studio dalla registrazione di diversi loro Brani. Super consigliato, una chicca per collezionisti.

Super j'ai découvert ce groupe par hasard et j'ai étais conquise dès la première écoute . J'ai d'ailleurs acheté les trois albums :-)))

De lujo

In a day where there are so many good remixes of horrible songs, and horrible remixes of great songs, this album finally brings us a real treat. This is masterful; a piece that should be viewed as a model for what remixes of folk should look like. The artists on this disc recognized the essence and soul of the music it is derived from and the experience this creates is an even more passionate rendition of the same emotions of the first album. Taking the brilliant originals, recognizing the reason they exist as their own exceptional works, and reworking them to make those points even more prominent. Gold for the Price of Silver, Toxic Girl, and Weight of My Words are highlights for me. I hope this album is viewed as a model, and purchased in the same volume as the first album is. If you like Quiet is the New Loud, you must listen to this. If you like folk and electronic music this is a must own.
