Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Famous for his many contributions to the global dance community both as a solo artist and as one half of legendary duo Masters at Work, Louie Vega's newest full-length piece is further evidence of his boundary-breaking musical genius. Exploring, dissecting and fusing musical genres like Bossanova / Samba, African Jazz, Salsa and Soca, and languages like English, Spanish, Cape Verdian, Yoruban and French, Elements of Life creates a gorgeous musical collage.

Elements of Life Extensions takes these original classics from the album and revamps them with remixes from the likes of Joe Claussell, Jazzy Jeff, DJ Spinna, Masters at Work and many more. Extensions is a perfect accompaniment to Elements of Life and a wonderful album on its own.

4 out of 5 stars Not as good as the original.......2005-12-16

I already had the "Elements of Life" and waited with anticipation for this remix album. What made the first album so amazing was the teaming up of accomplished musicians and artist with MAW to create that natural sound and feel. A natural vibe comes across in the first album that seems to be missing on "Extensions". This album sounds almost like something that was created just because the record comapny wanted some remixes. Certainly not as good as the original but gives an interesting twist to the originals. After hearing the "Extensions", given the choice I would stick with the original.

5 out of 5 stars Mon Amour (DJ Gregory Remix) is the best remix Ever!.......2005-10-12

What can I say it's amazing. The only bad thing about the version on this remixes set is the edited version not the full length version that I would love to have and heard on Defected's In The House mixed by Dimitry From Paris. There are other great remixes on this set but the best thing about it is Mon Amour (DG Gregory Remix). It's absolutely fabulous!!!

5 out of 5 stars The best Louie Vega in a long time.......2005-09-21

I purchased the Original Elements of Life, a two vinyl set. It is pretty good, but the Elements of Life: Extensions takes things to another level. Maybe it's the inclusion of such talented musicians like Raul Midon. I love the jazzier cuts on this album.

among my favorites:
Cerca de Mi
Let the Children Play
A Better Day

these are the kinds of songs that never die.

A supreme effort!!!

5 out of 5 stars Smooth and Ecclectic.......2005-02-09

Louis does it again with this Extension to Elements of Life. This is a really good cd for the down-tempo house heads but then again Louis never disappoints. My personal favorite is Track 8 and 9 because I'm also a disco head and the tracks have a "feverish" sound to it. I'll admit I bought the CD because of this guy that I'm crushing hard on who has excellent taste plus the fact that it was Louis Vega. So when he suggested, I took a chance....and so should you.
