Each remix sounds like its own song and each remix is very exciting to listen to, bringing out a different emotion." "I've fallen in love with these six tracks and I know everyone who buys this album will too," Hecox adds. "Any fan of Celestial Completion is going to be blown away and adore what these remixes bring out of their originals."
