Remixes that are better than the originals...

[Icy Gull]

Tom Hark (We Want Falmer)

?

which part of that is a remix

If we are talking better VERSIONS then I'd suggest All Along The Watchtower by Hendrix rather than Dylan as being the Daddy of better versions

 

[Squiggsy]

Everything But The Girl - Missing, after Todd Terry got his hands on it.

 

[Grendel]

The Shep Pettibone remix of New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle beats the pants off the original.

 

[CHAPPERS]

There is also a jungle remix of Heads High by Mr Vegas that was floating around on dubplates a few years ago but I can't track the fucker down.

 

[NMH]

U2 - Lady With The Spinning Head is pretty bloody good.

 

[Brighton4eva]

See the Day - Girls Aloud (better than D C Lee's)

Mad World - Gary Jules

 

[NMH]

The 12" remix of 'Dazzle' by Siouxsie is outstanding.

 

[Hiney]

The Tony Yayo re-mix of 'Welcome to Jamrock' by Damien Marley is WELL COOL

 

[Grendel]

See the Day - Girls Aloud (better than D C Lee's)

Mad World - Gary Jules

They're covers, not remixes.

And that Gary Jules version was bollocks.

I might have to give that a listen, not heard it yet.

 

[Skint Gull]

Not as such a remix but a quality mash-up is 'Flashing for Money' by Deep Dish.

Money For Nothing by Dire Straits mixed with Flashdance by Deep Dish, not actually better than either song but still like it a lot!

 

[Trufflehound]

The Jacques Lu Cont remix of The Killers' Mr Brightside.

The original is good, but the remix is an absolute classic.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Sugar is sweeter by CJ Bolland, Armand Van Helden's slant on it pissed on the original

 

[eastlondonseagull]

Azzido Da Bass - Dooms Night (Timo Mass remix) or Stanton Warriors Mix

Monster of a tune.

To be honest most electronica gets remixed and reworked all the time and very often comes out better than the original. Particularly with house, breaks and D'n'B.

Absolutely

The Apollo 440 remix of Puretone's "Addicted To Bass" is much better than the original.

As is the Armand Van Helden remix of Tori Amos' "Professional Widow"

 

[Simon Morgan]

theres a special remixed version of the album: "the holy bible" by the manic street preachers in the 10th anniversary edition of the original. i think that is very good, possibly on a par with the original

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Frankie Knuckles and David Morales' remix on Where Love Lives is a piece of art

 

[eastlondonseagull]

There is also a jungle remix of Heads High by Mr Vegas that was floating around on dubplates a few years ago but I can't track the fucker down.

There are a fair few decent jungle remixes of reggae / ragga stuff, about, not seen that one for yonks either.

That's the Canadian mix. It's been available in Canada since 1995, and over here on bootlegs. All they did was make the drums a bit heavier and stick a couple of synth wibbles on it.

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Adagio for strings - Tiesto mix

Nooooooo.

Adagio for Strings - Ferry Corsten

Delirium - Silence - Tiesto I'll give ya.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Tom Hark (We Want Falmer)

Ok. I'll go for Sussex By The Sea (the vocal version).
