Great remixes

[phes]

Here's some remixes i love, though i appreciate some of them are probably quite annoying

New Order - Crystal (Lee Combs remix): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5lmSdqz7gc

There's plenty of choice when it comes to New Order. London put out an entire album of remixed tracks, The Rest Of  (to accompany The Best Of compilation) in 1995. They vary in quality, but one in particular went on to become a massive club tune:
Confusion (Pump Panel Reconstruction)
It was another one that basically used nothing from the original track other than some vocal samples welded onto heavy 303+909 acid. It ended up being used on the 'Blood Rave' scene at the start of Blade  and went massive, with the riff being copied all over the place.

My other favourite off that album is the Biff & Memphis remix of Touched By The Hand Of God. It's weird to think this was made by the same guys (Stannard & Rowe) responsible for writing and producing most of the Spice Girls' hits. One nice detail is they went back to the source (Kraftwerk's Uranium) for the choir sample from Blue Monday, which wasn't well known at that time.

There was another remix that was commissioned for the album but ended up being cut from it. The Advent were asked to produce a remix of Everything's Gone Green but when it wasn't included they put it out as an EP with 3 other versions they produced.

Another of my favourites is The Ambient Mix of Ruined In A Day by Booga Bear that was only included on CD1 of the single release

Kaori - Good Life (is this a remix of just a cover?). Probably quite annoying anyway - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRMqFqdFwj8

it's a cover, with Kaori Kaneko singing instead of Paris Grey. they are obviously using the same transposed piano chord sample for the main riff though.

Primal Scream had some great ones in the '90s - starting off, of course, with 'Loaded' which was itself a remix. And the version of 'Come Together' that's on 'Screamadelica' is a remix. Although the best remix of 'Higher Than The Sun' - the 'Dub Symphony In Two Parts' - is also on 'Screamadelica', try and track down the 'American Spring Mix' that Weatherall did as well (I can't find it on Youtube), it's absolutely fantastic. There were a couple of mixes of 'Jailbird' on the 12" (which I also can't find on Youtube) - Weatherall (again!) with his 'Dub Chapter 3' mix, which goes on for about ten minutes, and the Chemical Brothers, back when they were still calling themselves The Dust Brothers, also turned in a great remix.

I love Kris Needs' remix of Saint Etienne's 'Pale Movie', titled 'Secret Knowledge Trouser Assassin Mix'.

CAN's remix album, the slyly titled 'Sacrilege' had a few good versions on it - U.N.K.L.E.'s 'Vitamin C' and The Orb's 'Halleluhwah' in particular.

And, of course, there's the mighty Patrick Cowley remix of 'I Feel Love'.

A Guy Called Gerald - Hot Lemonade (Trancentral Fizz)
The title track and lead single from Gerald's debut album.  Rham! Records asked Youth to produce remixes for a second 12" to accompany the original single - this was in the period where he was still affiliated with The KLF through being Jimmy's partner in Brilliant and part of The Orb (before Jimmy and The Orb split and Youth went with Alex), hence the Trancentral moniker. The original sounded not surprisingly like Newbuild-era 808 State. Youth turned it into a more laid-back trancey affair.

Blue Pearl - Naked In The Rain (Pure Trance Mix)
When the 'Live At Trancentral' version of What Time Is Love? took The KLF back into the charts in the summer of 1990, Youth put together a cheeky WTIL? soundalike with Pink Floyd backing vocalist Durga McBroom. Through his friendship with Jimmy he asked him to provide a couple of remixes - the Pure Trance mix, a slowed down ambient trance version that used a completely different whispered vocal to the original mix, more akin to Donna Summer's orgasmic performance on Love To Love You Baby, and the New Age mix, which was basically an instrumental version of the Pure Trance mix.

They were released on a Wau! Mr Modo white label alongside Youth's original Paradise mix, and the buzz it created in the clubs led to the track being picked up by Big Life for a full release. Graham Massey was asked to remix it, initially as the 808 Jazz mix, and then was asked to rework his mix for the full 7" and 12" single releases.

The Pet Shop Boys - It Must Be So Obvious (UFO Mix)
Also following the success of WTIL? the Pet Shop Boys asked the The KLF to remix thier lates single So Hard (they originally asked then to collaborate on a Christmas single but Bill & Jimmy were too busy). The resulting 'The KLF vs. Pet Shop Boys' remix 12" included a harder remix of So Hard that combined the original bassline and vocals with elements of the original version (with Pete Wylie vocals) of It's Grim Up North. Of more interest is the B-side UFO mix of  It Must Be So Obvious, which gets the Chill Out treatment drifting in an out of an ambient sound collage.

Heard it years ago on late night radio, and totally misheard the title and artist (did the same thing with ...And The Native Hipsters when I was about twelve) - the only thing I heard right was the 'Einstein's Funky Expedition Mix' and had to wait for the internet to arrive in my house before I found out what it was.

An basic thread idea with some excellent contributions, thanks.

Was anyone else into the "AOR disco" "scene" around 2010-2011ish? Loads of sort of Balearic-y type remixes/edits of 70s and 80s AOR records (and the like). Some of it crossed over a bit, but for a while there was some absolute heat coming out.

Should try and catalogue it all one day, before it gets deleted off the internet. Out of the ones I wanted to share, this is the only one I can quickly find.
