about

"Remix Romance Vol. 1 is an accomplished, occasionally revelatory recasting of Disco Romance's synth-pop by some of contemporary electronic music's most capable hands. (...) Remix Romance Vol. 1 reaffirms that Shapiro's music is the type you can live with day in and day out. You know, a lasting romance."
Pitchfork

"Usually this kind of affair is a pointless collection of insensitively mauled and maculate travesties, but this is a rare case of the complete opposite, maybe because the melodies and vocals are so untarnishably perfect they couldn't be ruined, or more likely they inspired love and respect and tender care on the part of those entrusted with reinterpreting them."
Simon Reynolds

"Remix albums have a bad reputation for being uneven, uninspired and, really, just plain bad. However, there are always exceptions, Sally Shapiro’s Remix Romance Vol. 1 being one of them. (...) With all the pluses and few if any, minuses, ten mixes for cash these are not."
Exclaim

"This is a remix album artists dream about. That other musicians love your music enough to transform it into something (at times) better than the original is very beautiful."
Chartattack

"MacLean’s clubby house vibes, Holy Fuck’s ethereal manoeuvres, Woodhands’ drop-dead funky pitter-patter and Lindstrøm’s epic chemical come-on enhance and amplify some fine source material, Scandinavian melancholy for the dancefloor."
Montreal Mirror

"For a remix album it delivers impressively, both in terms of track-for-track hit rate and overall listenability. Considering its welcome but not gratuitously overabundant variety, it's just possible that some listeners will find themselves preferring this version of Romance."
AllMusicGuide

"Among the many standouts: Holy Fuck’s gorgeous dream-pop version of “Find My Soul” and the SSL take on “I Know,” which sounds more like classic Pet Shop Boys than the boys themselves."
Time Out New York

Shoegaze ist die Kunst des Dröhnens, doch „Everything Is Alive“ setzt diese Elemente nur sparsam ein. Statt Hall- und Zerr-Sounds aufzutürmen, schäumt die Musik in feinen Bläschen über. https://tortue.substack.com/i/140348114/slowdive-everything-is-alive-dead-oceans Daniel Welsch
