Feist's diverse musical talents have taken her on many paths, from band member (Broken Social Scene, By Divine Right) to guest performer (Peaches, Jane Birken) to respected solo artist. Whatever the project, there has never been a question that the Toronto musician is heavily respected by her peers. When the call went out to remix Feist's work, her respected contemporaries were quick to come on board. Such is the basis of Open Season, a collection of remixes and rarities from Feist's heavily-acclaimed 2004 release Let It Die. Curiously, more than a third of this music comes from remixes of just two songs from that disc, specifically four different versions of "Mushaboom" and two takes of "Gatekeeper." Some of the re-workings arguably exceed the original cuts, most notably The Postal Service who turns "Mushaboom" into a synth-driven track with Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) offering joyful harmonies throughout. K-OS' strong take on the same tune follows a hip hop feel, complete with his MC skills front and center. The CD's sweetest spot, however, comes in the form of an emotive acoustic offering of "Inside + Out," captured during a BBC performance. Also worth noting is Feist's softened cover of "Lovertits" a track originally recorded by her famous former roommate Peaches. For casual Feist fans, this may not be the best introduction to her talents. For Feist aficionados, however, it certainly shows the level of respect that other musicians have for the singer, and will provide some great audio candy until her next full-length release. --Denise Sheppard

Rating : - Open Season!
These are remixes from Leslie Feist's album Let it Die, plus some other b-sides. Here is my album rundown.
*One Evening (Solo Piano Version) [Instrumental] -- 10/10 A lovely interpretation of the song; great for dinner parties.
*Inside + Out (Apostle of Hustle Unmix) -- 9/10 A nice and simple song to chill to.
*Mushaboom (Mocky Remix) -- 10/10 It has a slight hip-hop feel to it, yet Feist still channels her inner peace with alternative.
*Gatekeeper (Full mix) -- 10/10 This is by far better than the original; this version has far more substance to it.
*Lonely Lonely (Frisbee'd Mix) -- 9/10 This is a very serene song.
*Mushaboom (K-OS Mix) -- 7/10 K-OS's remix is pretty much the only downfall; the beats were very overdone.
*Snow Lion -- 10/10 I absolutely love this track! It is very calming and brings to mind winter.
*Tout Doucement -- 8/10 There could be a bit more to it, but it's interesting that the track is sung in French.
*The Simple Story -- 7/10 I don't like this track as much, it's a bit boring.
*Lovertits -- 10/10 This is a slower-paced dance track, yet all the energy is still there. Love this one!
*Mushaboom (Postal Service Remix) -- 9/10 The downright quirkiness of Postal Service makes this one a hit!
*Gatekeeper (Do Right Remix) -- 9/10 I love how this almost seems like a modern jazz type track.
*One Evening (Remix By VV) -- 10/10 THE PERFECT REMIX!! Exactly as it should be. Nice and fun, funky and fresh.
*When I Was A Young Girl (Remix by VV) -- 10/10 Once again, better than the original.
*Mushaboom (Remix by VV) -- 10/10 VV delivers yet another groovy mix, this time for Mushaboom.
Overall album rating -- 10/10 This is a must-have for your collection; whether you're a Feist fan or not! These are superb mixes.
