So... favourite remix?

Glice · 02.07.2007, 06:31 PM

I was going to say something in the dismantled covers thread, but I thought a new thread is more appropriate. Ok, so remixes are the death of all that is right and good, but there must be a handful of decent ones, right? Right.

Kevin Shield's remix of Mogwai Fear Satan
Alec Empire's remix of Bjork's Bachelorette
AFX's remix of NIN... can't remember the song, but it was something from the Downward Spiral era.
Mogwai's/ Arab Strap's remix of David Holmes' Don't die just yet.

and... I can't think of any more. Someone else think for me.

Adam Cooley's Hives Hives remix

porkmarras · 02.07.2007, 06:50 PM

I don't know if it could be called a remix, a cover or god knows what but i like what AFX did with Eno/Glass's version of 'Heroes' because it sounds scary.Other honourable mentions:

DJ Q's remix of 'R U Still Into It' by Mogwai
Grandmaster D.ST 'Rockit''s Megamix
Stereolab's remix of 'Martin, Doom! Its 7 O'Clock' by Boo Radleys
Twine's remix of John Hughes's 'Set Me On The Couch'

Lemmi think some more.............

Glice · 02.07.2007, 06:54 PM

Oooooooh!

How could I possibly forget NWW's remix of Stereolab? Shocking. That's my favourite remix ever, so much so that I forget it's an actual remix.

porkmarras · 02.07.2007, 07:03 PM

I have this remix of Die Princess Die's 'Hunting' that is awesome and kinda hypno-glitch but i don't know who did it.Should Kid 606's awesome version/remix/fuck knows of 'Straight Outta Compton' be here or on the other thread?

Savage Clone · 02.07.2007, 07:34 PM

Any NWW remix, as they tend to be pretty much completely unrecognizable from the original source and thus almost completely new pieces of music.

He didn't technically remix anything (well, not at least on the Further Down The Spiral remix album, but Mr. James 'created' "At The Heart Of It All," and section b of "The Beauty Of Being Numb."

*(Both awesome)

Off the top of my head, my favorite remix is by this guy who calls himself rx. He took speeches by George W. Bush and remixed them into the "president" singing "Imagine" with the chorus of "Walk on the Wild Side". It's just so fucking brilliant.

porkmarras · 02.08.2007, 04:28 AM

Which one will you upload?My favourite track on those two has to be 'Animal Or Vegetable (A Wonderful Wooden Reason)'.

sonicl · 02.08.2007, 04:29 AM

The late '80s were packed with good remixes, the first that come to mind being the multiple remixes of Age of Chance's "Kiss" and remixes of various Pop Will Eat Itself releases. Aah, those were the days...

jon boy · 02.08.2007, 06:31 AM

the subject of remixes always puzzles me because there are so many. i have heard a few that are better then the originals. i once heard a really amazing (i know i know) remix of push it by salt n peppa. i have the remixed version of enjoy the silence on my ipod.

makimura · 02.08.2007, 06:34 AM

Diplo's Gold Lion remix, of course.

Is that the mash-up with the vocals over The Stooges' No Fun? I love that. Never fails to make me smile.

jon boy · 02.08.2007, 07:04 AM

no no it was the original but very messed up, its hard to describe but made sense at the time but not in a drunk/stoned way. i like innovative remixes i guess. people who are not affraid to completely deconstruct a song not just the dance remixes.
