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.

Hmm I remember back in the 90's when you'd get like 7 remixes on a single. The Gossip have been isuing their cd and vinyl single with remixes this year and they have all been brillian alternative versions of the songs, and in one case "listen up" I prefer the remixes!

But yeah on the other hand a lot are complete bollocks and an outtake or proper b side is superior.

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

If you mean new versions of songs, then Save Ferris' version of Come On Eileen rocks.

If you mean remixes, then "Smack my Orinoco Flow Bitch Up" works very well, combining Prodigy and Enya, and "Where Is The Love Torn" combining Black Eyed Peas and Natalie Imbruglia.

I can send you all 3 sometime if you like :)

Remixes suck, cover versions suck ... with 2 exceptions

1) Alex Harvey - Delilah
2) Sex Pistols - My Way
