Elevation
Our rating, out of 100 — and why.
AI-generated from five scored dimensions. An opinion, not a measurement.
Recognizable songs anchor the set, but four separately framed club mixes make it feel like a sampler rather than a shaped EP.
What we noticed
- All four tracks are club mixes of separate Michael Jackson songs; each restarts its own arrangement rather than forming a continuous DJ-set sequence.
- The order moves from “Stranger in Moscow” through “In the Closet” and “Smooth Criminal” to “This Time Around,” with no framing track or closing coda.
- The vocals remain central, while the mix credits change on every track: Hani, The Mission, “Annie,” and D.M. Mad.

Little footprint beyond its audience. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
