    It's a tribute disc that actually works (particularly the Apples In Stereo and Shitake Monkey reworkings) , but I wouldn't trade any of the original versions for one of these new tracks.

    I love this CD. The other reviews here are confusing. They criticize her life instead of the actual CD. Did they really listen to it? Or do they just hate Yoko and refuse to even give it a try?

    The Avant Garde that Ono made in the 60ties, & 70ties is still relevant & modern in the 200's. Congatulations, Yoko!

    This album is an early contender for album of the year, all of the songs here are crackers, most especially tracks with DJ Spooky, The Flaming Lips and The Sleepy Jackson. Ono well done on this great compilation. For those that don't understand this album, you DON'T understand music, Yoko was 20 years in front of the pack. Good call Jesse her Plastic Ono Band version and Fly are This album is an early contender for album of the year, all of the songs here are crackers, most especially tracks with DJ Spooky, The Flaming Lips and The Sleepy Jackson.

    todd, andy... you obviously have never listened to yoko's work. go track down plastic ono band (her's, not john's) and fly. even if you don't like her vocals, the places she took music on those albums was new and different at the time. she may not have traditional talent, but she doesn't suffer for ideas, which is the more important thing anyway.

    This is great! Best Ono album since Rising. The track with Cat Power is lovely. Everyman Everywoman is stonking! Not a duff track as far as I can hear. Class.

    I used to hate Yoko because I was too young to understand her and her voice was like fingernails ala chalkbord but I was astonished at how delicate and sincere her voice has become,I love the asteralwerks ambiance touch!

    In each case, a brand-new track has been crafted, but some work better than others. [10 Feb 2007]

    An excellent refresher course on Yoko Ono's endlessly underappreciated musical career. [9 Feb 2007, p.74]
