Remixes Of Songs

[lupestripe]

Am I the only one who thinks this is a lazy way of creating B-sides for singles? Plus does a good remix actually exist? Every one I have heard without fail sounds far worse than the original.

Some remixes actually *are* good, but other than that, I agree. I prefer singles that actually have different extra tracks...

I feel ripped off whenever I buy a single (which I rarely do anymore) and it has three mixes of the A-side track. It just smacks to me of laziness and creative people lacking in ideas. And all these remixes usually sound like is someone rustling a plastic bag next to the microphone whilst the original song plays in the background.

*chuckles* Yeah...

Or Radiohead's latest album... (I joke - it's actually quite good).

Don't know that one...

It's a good album. It's called "In Rainbows". It's a download only album but uniquely you name your price - you can pay as much or as little as you want for it.

*noddles* Ah, yes - I think I've heard about that, at least.

Tis quite good actually but I did prefer the more rockier Radiohead. But then remixing and electronica never has been my scene.
