"Tapis Rouge's Solarium"

Recently I received the following email from the CirqueClub:

"As Cirque du Soleil ventures towards new creative grounds, its music is doing the same! A new music project, called TAPIS ROUGE (TM), unites our music with the talent of some of the best producers in electronic music today. The result is the innovative remix CD: Solarium.

"The first CD to feature this new "chill mix" approach to Cirque du Soleil's music is now available exclusively at Cirque's online boutique. Be among the first to visit our TAPIS ROUGE Solarium page to listen to audio clips and order your own copy.

"For customers who purchase VIP tickets for Alegría, Varekai or Dralion in the coming few weeks, you will receive this CD as a gift as part of your VIP experience!"

Solarium includes ten Cirque du Soleil songs (two of which are included twice) that are tweaked with a dance club feel. The results, for me, are...well...mixed. Following is the track listing with a brief description of the songs' modifications.
