While releasing a remix album only 6 months after the original (simply titled 'GO') can easily be seen as a bit premature, GO Remixed certainly stands alone in its own right as an album. Much more than just touching up the original songs, most songs have been totally rearranged and many have an entirely different feel.

Stand out tracks include the opening track 'Wherever We Go' which is a fairly happy track with a lot of 'up', as well as the deep song 'Something Beautiful, which on the original album was a smash hit. The first track I really fell for on the album though was 'Love Is Better Than Life' (sometimes referred to as 'I duno') which gives the band an almost British sound (it should be noted however that most of the current line up is Australian) and features such powerful lines as "I dunno if I should push ahead or stop and grieve / I lie awake and wonder how to make a city believe / I dunno when it’s a ministry and when it’s a show / maybe neither, maybe both, I dunno, but this one thing I know".

The album also features strong, electronic version of worship songs 'I Am Free' and 'In Wonder'.

Quite a lot of the instrumentation on GO Remixed consists of synthesised sounds, and as such may not appeal to all fans of the original album. However if you like strong beats driving your music, this album is definitely worth a look.
