SYNTH GOLD
I wasn't always a huge fan of Sota's work until just before his album came out. This is definitely a great representation of his work over the past few years and it sounds amazing. I'll agree that seeing full versions, and even remixes, of common songs such as "Look To The Sky", "Star Gate Heaven", and "Kind Lady" kind of drains the song's cool factor. If you don't already own other KONAMI albums that have these songs on them, SYNTHESIZED is a great place to start.

You can visit the Beatnation Records' website if you're curious to see what's on the remix album and even hear previews.

Very Good, but not great...
This album doesn't quite live up to Dejin K or Milestone, but it's still worth the buy. It's a little rushed if you ask me... Then again, Dejin K only came out a few months ago. There are too many filler songs that already have full versions like: Look to the Sky, Star Gate Heaven, i-revolution, and Andromeda II. Some of the new "extended versions" however, do sound more polished than the original abridged versions, like Back into the Light and Electrified. The one song that really blew me away, was Fly Above. The Remix side on the other hand, is full of surprises! A basic conclusion to this album is; it's best for those who really like Sota.
