Jet Steam - Re-mixed

Gentle folk of the woodland area, I have just listened to a 'Jet Steam' re-mix. It was played on a popular radio station here in the United Island.

I'd describe it as a heavy pop/dance version'ette of the album original. So more an application of icing as opposed to an entirely different set of scones.

It was pretty good - no, really.

And I did my bit for the team by listening out for the particular mix:

Richard X.

Whether that means he was called Richard, or that he doesn't have a second name perhaps will be revealed on the actual disk when it arrives on the shelves.

Was the song introduced or just played, H?

I'm not sure what you refer to but it was played and then the diskette operator announced the title.

It ran as smooth as butter.

The operator is Peter Tongsford, he said that there would be a track listing up and running two shakes of a lambs tail. His show is quite popular here in Blighty so I would have thought the music would be down stream almost immediately.

BBC Radio 1.

He's on now. Mixing the tunes like a wild potato.

I mean, did the announcer say something along the lines of "For all you aging New Order fans out there who have nothing better to do with your time than spend all day typing posts on New Order fan sites, here's a tasty morsel"?

Sorry P, but he didn't mention you specifically.

He did mention something about chiseled jawed handsome animal lovers but I really wasn't paying that much attention.

Steady on with the aging bit, P.

Can't wait to hear it, top work H. The show should be streaming on the BBC site by what - tomorrow?

Marske-by-Sea: More than halibut and pet rocks.

If you had in fact been paying attention when he said that, H, would you have been inclined to suspect he was referring to anyone you know?

Well, we're all aging, aren't we, DC? Better than the alternative, anyway.

Botox?

Well it has to be said I've been a fan of Jacques Le Cont's (Stuart Price) material in the past, but Richard X has transformed an average New Order single in to a club classic destined to go higher than Krafty.

Richard X has given it the electro funked up edge Mr Price should have given it in the first place. Certainly the faster pace will score big in the clubs! I'd prefer this mix on the album.

I totally agree with the above. This song kicks ass. Can't wait to get hold of this remix as well as the others for Jetstream. Would like to see this song as the bonus track on the US release.

Hey, redeyedboy. You`re not that New Order fan from Rugby i met at Reading 98 are you mate?

Solid Mix. How does it compare to the single remix? Not heard that one yet.

Just listened to it. Sounded pretty good. Unfortunately I couldn't get the volume to a satisfactory level. Hitting the increase volume button seemed to have no effect.

Well, that was much better. Thanks, Nic.

Do we know for sure that they plan to release it at that length as the actual single? It seems extremely long for a single version.

H is obviously not on the premises at the moment, but I will pose this question nevertheless: is that a typo in the thread title, H, or was it intentional? On points like this, it's sometimes hard to tell.

Somebody forgot to hand Pete Tong a cup of stfu, nice touch yakking all over the beginning...

And end as well...

Yes, a lot more meaty, but ultimately pretty true to the original: but better. I think I'd just release this version, if as it appears, this is going to be the single.

jetstream is my least favorite song on WFTSC... but this remix is hot! too bad this isn't the version on the record.

I like this better as well

Wouldn't be me chap! I lived in Birmingham then however I was at Reading 98.

Ended up getting WFTSC from HMV in Solihull in the end becauase i was there that day. It's a shame I didnt support our local Spinadisc.

I'm going to support the little squirrel fondler on this one and suggest it was an intentional Huntsmanism rather than an act of reckless spelling.

Keep the Richard X version in edit form and a higher position than Krafty may prevail.

Business is booming!

A massive thank you, Nic! Well, the single version is just an edit like Krafty (though slightly different this time)... I hope they don't release yet another "CD1" with single and album version, that must be very boring for those having it as the only purchase... The remix is absolutely excellent, best remix of 2005 so far... I also thought at the idea of looping the bass and I'm glad he used it thought I'd have kept it returning more often... I adore the base, it sounds like Blue Monday for the 21st century! What a huge compliment I can write for this remix! Great for clubs, I hope DJs spin it a lot... Can't wait to see the video!

BTTT for those who've missed out on the 'summaries/reviews' of this remix - for me it's one of the best NO remixes since the days of BLT. Cock on!

FOOK ME! just lostening to the mix of jetstream ...What can i say FOOKIN SUPERB! This will chart well if they release this version!

Are you cats talking about the Richard X mix only here? Has anyone heard the others?

By the way Nick, how much do you think the French Weatherall Regret promo CD is worth these days ....... ?

:\pimp3:

Sorry pal!

if you're completist or looking for limited releases, why not!  I dont like these mixes, fortunately for me I got the CD for free when I bought Republic. I must have listened it less than 5 times.

I just won the auction Helene's Friend. I do have the mixes elsewhere but it is one of the trickier promos to find these days and it does have an exclusive sleeve design which is always nice.

Certainly one of the premier French NO collectables.

don't forget Palatine Lane including then"The Happy one" snippets.

You selling?

when I saw it was Huntsman who started this thread I thought he was going to slag the remix - nice suprise to see even he likes it.

It's very good - Richard X is a good producer for poppy dancy 80s type stuff. He was behind the Elvis remix and Sugarbabes freak like me for anyone whose interested.

Think I prefer it to the original as well. Good work X.

My review of the Richard X remix:-

I liked it.

depthcharge wrote: You selling? :\pimp3:

no, sorry

Excellent remix... dare I say it, possibly the best remix they'd had since the World single!

Holy, holy fcuk, Jetstream has melded with my grey matter.

Am I the only here that thinks Arthur Baker's remix is the best one by far? I liked it even better than the album version...

I haven't hear Baker's yet, but the Richard X. mix is definitely better than the album mix.

I recommend listen with headphones. i like head-cleaners.

Well, in fact I didn't listen to the JLC remixes so I can't say anything about them.
