I just got my copy of this, breezed through the tracks and it's pretty good. Here is the complete track listing:
1. YASUHARU KONISHI-I Want You Back (readymade 524 mix)
2. MURO-Darling Dear (rejuvenated by MURO Mix)
3. KENNY DOPE-It's Great To Be Here (Kenny Dope Remix)
4. MONDAY MICHIRU-I Wanna Be Where You Are
5. KAYOKO KIMUFA featuring FIREFLYS-ABC (Love Stream Mix)
6. UNITED FUTURE ORGANIZATION-Hum Along And Dance (United Future Organization Mix)
7. SMALL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS-I'll Be There (SCOF Mix)
8. KUBOTA/TAKESHI-ABC (Kubota/Takeshi Remix)
9. KEI KOBAYASHI-I Want You Back (Kei's Routine Jazz Party Mix)
10. SHINICHI OSAWA-Never Can Say Goodbye (Osawa 3000 Remix)
The songs go back and forth between new music slapped on the vocal tracks, and actual cover versions. Being a new Michiru fan, I played that first and this woman never fails to amaze me. Imagine her more laid back jazz stylings mixed in with a bit of slide guitar blues, Ben Harper style. Kenny Dope merely manipulates the best breaks and enhances it in his version of "It's Great To Be There". The Kubota/Takeshi mix of "ABC" is the best of the two here.

On yet another Michiru note, got my copy of 4 SEASONS, which comes after I finally got the 4 seasonal 12" singles they came out with. Most of what were on those records are on this double CD, but there are also a number of new songs here, such as the instrumental "Tahitian Xmas". The 5th Season Version of "Mysteries Of Life" is slimmed down musically, and only goes for six minutes. "Something To Believe In", in my opinion, sounds much better on vinyl but that's just me.
