Remixes that are better than the originals...

[Hiney]

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

Indeed!



Not sure I should be admitting this, but I have a brilliant Joey Negro re-mix of Giving Up Giving In by.................Sheena Easton

 

[Trufflehound]

Nooooooo.

Adagio for Strings - Ferry Corsten

Nooooooo.

Adagio for Strings - William Orbit



Well, everyone else was doing it...

 

[Trufflehound]

Not sure I should be admitting this, but .................Sheena Easton

No you shouldn't. Some things are just better kept to yourself.

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Indeed!



Not sure I should be admitting this, but I have a brilliant Joey Negro re-mix of Giving Up Giving In by.................Sheena Easton

There goes a brave fella!

 

[Rambo]

Frankie Knuckles- Your love (remix of Source Candi Staton)

 

[Hiney]

Oh NO!

What have I done!

 

[SJ's Love Monkey]

Frankie Knuckles- Your love (remix of Source Candi Staton)

They just sampled Your Love, Knuckles had nothing to do with that Rambo

 

[Bluejuice]

armand van helden remix of tori amos professional widow got to number one and is a classic...

nellee hooper mix of sneaker pimps 6 undeground...

the fluke and heller & farley (i think) remixes of bjork big time sensuality...

Bang on on all counts, this man knows what he's talking about.

Deep Dish remix of Delacy - Hideaway, Armands Dark Garage Mix of Sneaker Pimps - Spin Spin Sugar is defo one for the sub too !

Also solid suggestions but I'd like to think the 187 Lockdown mix of Hideaway is the best.

And whilst Armand's getting a mention what about his speed garage mix of CJ Bolland's Sugar is Sweeter? Proper classic tune that one, and whilst the original's not bad, his rework makes a completely different tune, and a belter at that

 

[Bluejuice]

Ooooh oo just thought. Anyone ever heard the Nightmares on Wax "remix" of Easy Thing to do by... Shirley Bassey no less!!

Well it's f***ing marvellous.

AND I'd also like to add a couple of the great Royksopp's tracks in the form of Poor Leno (Silicone Soul's Hypno House Dub) which is just so much better than the original it hurts AND Remind Me (Ernest Saint Laurent's Rabbit in the Moon Mix) which is so blissful you could slip into a coma just listening to it. Proper wonderous

 

[dougdeep]

Cindy Lauper's version of Drove All Night is so much better than the Big O version.

[keaton]

Well you can f*** off back to your pikey D&B bullshit then

Ooh i'm being insulted by a man who can only listen to music with a four-to-the floor beat, that hurts.
Sadly as i've not been in the Event or Creation for ten years i'll never be able to discuss it with you man o' man.

Chappers, i did mean the Smoke mix, doh

 

[CHAPPERS]

I like the way he thinks d'n'b is for pikeys.

 

[keaton]

He sounds like the sort of person who thinks the only reason for not wearing a YSL shirt with Adidas Popper trackie bottoms is that you couldn't afford them

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Congo Natty - Walking in the Air

 

[Strike]

Felix - Don't You Want Me? I think 2 bad mice did a earlier version.

Strike - U Sure Do also has a sample of a earlier tune I think.

 

[chez]

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

Mad World - Gary Jules

Tears for Fears version of Mad World is one of the greatest songs of all time and although the Gary Jules version is OK it comes nowhere near the original.

 

[house your seagull]

AND I'd also like to add a couple of the great Royksopp's tracks in the form of Poor Leno (Silicone Soul's Hypno House Dub) which is just so much better than the original it hurts AND Remind Me (Ernest Saint Laurent's Rabbit in the Moon Mix) which is so blissful you could slip into a coma just listening to it.

I LOVE THOSE REMIXES! in fact i can't think of a really bad royksopp remix, although i think that the stuart price remix of 'what else is there?' is good and i think the man is a god but not as good as original album version...

WHICH BRINGS ME ONTO...

the vocalist on 'what else is there?' is from a swedish band called the knife who wrote electro-pop underground hit 'hearbeats' last year realeased on rabid records and then covered by (i think this is true) jose gonzalez of sony advert fame and million selling album...

it's a swedish connection i presume seeing as they are both from sweden...

 

[Charles 'Charley' Charles]

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

Exactly what I said

 

[Easy 10]

I keep thinking this is the Roxanne thread.
