Tapis Rouge Vinyl Remixes

... a look into the heart of Cirque du Soleil through the eyes of the world's foremost electronic music producers.

Tapis Rouge is Cirque du Soleil's six-volume series of 12" vinyl installments, featuring remixed selections from their entire musical repertoire, as a preview to "20 Years Under the Sun", a two-disc CD/DVD package released in the Fall of 2004 commemorating Cirque's 20th Anniversary (released as "Solarium / Delirium"). Showcased in this series are some of the world's most influential DJs and electronic music producers, who have remixed tracks from Cirque du Soleil soundtracks such as Dralion, Saltimbanco, "O", and Varekai.

Volumes 1, 2 & 3 were released in 2003, and Volumes 4, 5 & 6 in 2004. These releases were marketed in Canada and Europe only. The Canadian pressings bear a sequential catalog number CDSM 001 through CDSM 006, while the European pressings CDSM 12001 through CDSM 12006. CDSM, of course, stands for Cirque du Soleil Musique, the company's music label.
