BLT Breaks Remix

BLT-Crystal Method Remix Che Che Che Check dis out!

Crystal Method? Breaks? BLT?

I'm there.

:\pimp3:

Sounds awesome!!! I was expecting some lame unrecognizable mix like Van Helden's on Rest of NO.

indeed! sounds like a winner. any fresh air into BLT is greatly appreciated.

CD(DJ Mixed)

I've always said the Crystal Method should have been New Order's producers. oh well, at least, we get a remix from them :)

The Crystal Method is our answer to The Chemical Brothers :)

the guy on the right looks like the singer from barenaked ladies.

I've also considered what Tom & Ed might do with The Perfect Kiss.

I can hardly believe I'm saying that because I've always believed the song to be untouchable, but I just wonder what might occur with all those layers of synths, beats and guitars to cook with. And cowbells. The frogs too.

It's the last NO standard to remain untouched really. Everything else has been reworked, tweaked and remixed to buggery in recent years.

Perhaps we'll see some new twists on these sorts of tunes (Thieves also) for the upcoming live shows.

:\pimp3:

yeah it's a tidy mix. think a lot of New Order tracks would work well as breaks tracks, as you can keep the bass and the vocals in a bit easier than more housey mixes. Crystal worked particularly well. Guilt would benefit from one as well I reckon

doubt we'll ever hear tpk live again. great shame that.

I think that's a terrible remix... Poor New Order...

Don't think much of that remix. The best version of BLT is this one:

Bizarre Love Triangle (7' Version)

Very loosely Nic, 'Breaks' is a sub-genre of dance music that is based around the 'broken' nature of its drum beats. Hip-hop style beats but sped up, if you will. It sort of mutated out of the 'Big Beat' genre of the mid-late 90s. It divides further into old skool or party breaks (often sampled heavily from old rap, electro and funk records) and nu-school breaks which are a lot harder and more techy sounding. Prominent names in the breaks scene today are guys like Lee Coombs, Meat Katie, Krafty Kuts, Soul of Man and the like. Acts like the Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method and UNKLE often employ classic breaks sounds to commercial success.

Lee Coombs 'Crystal' remix is a good example.

A lot of Arthur Baker's output fits the mould as well.

:\pimp3:

Plus Smashing Pumpkins' 1979. I may have to get this.

Pastie, if your consuming some pumpkin in the coming days, can I reiterate my suggestion of several years ago of the song 'Disarm'. One of Pumpkin Pie's most 'insular' moments, in respect of AOC / LMA being one of NO's.

Inverse your opinion of The Ringtone, and you have the perfect expectancy of 'Disarming the Field Mice'.

Inversing/reversing the polarity of their kit almost brought an end to the Ghostbusters, H. Are you sure this is wise for Pats to try at home?

I will try to locate my copy of their Greatest Pies Collection to see if it's included, H.

I never wish to be the bearer of news that is forged from imperfect stone, but The Smorgasbord of Pumping Seeds 'Greates Pies' collection should perhaps been entitled; 10 pies, 8 of which are not suitable for consumption.

You pay for your pie, you take your choice.

Regarding the crossing of streams, this is surely an acknowledgment, in part, that ghosts are real enough to develop such a system?

top description that!

An even more basic description would be half way between hip hop and drum and bass - without all the chavs in Bright white reebok classics and stupid caps.

I've just picked up the new Meat Katie Fabric CD - that's a very good example of 'progressive' breaks. Adam Freeland's well worth a listen if you want to come in sort of half way between the rock and breaks scene - I like his stuff a lot

You've got to hand it to SB v.2 - always dropping nice and tasty morsels in case anybody was inclined to nibble at a different topping than NO.

I keep meaning to write down some of the suggestions to sample later.

Well, I've played that re-mix of BLT. It's flippant. Sounds like it was produced by a Meercat.

Cool, I've just been listening to the Freestylers Fabric CD and the Y2K Soul of Man disc. What's the MK one like?

Freeland is recommended listening here too.

:\pimp3:

didn't think you'd like it Huntsy.

If there's one group I think you should try - and I've mentioned these a couple of times, it's Bloc Party. Even Hooky was bigging them up today (though looking at his other 5 'favourite song' picks, I don't know if that's a good thing...'Born to be wild'...yuck) Listened to their album almost as much as WFTSC recently

wasn't quite sure on the freestylers fabric one. seen them live a few times, and think they can do a lot better personally

MK is recommended. It's pretty much peak time all the way through, but enough variety to make it interesting. One of the better breaks cds I have to be honest.

There's a lot of good stuff coming from your way actually isn't there? NU-Breed, Infusion, Luke Chable, Phil K etc - all decent stuff

I sound like an old dustbin running down the re-mixes all the time. I'm going to make a conscious effort not to in the future.

Block Pantry duly noted - thanks for the tips. I'm going to go out on a limbo machine and buy this. I'll report back with my thought process.

I can't think of anything to suggest for you SB in return? - have you got the soundtrack to Top Gun?

Sometimes you take my breath away.

Wow, you know these guys! The scene is still pretty solid over here, especially on this coast. The Finger Lickin' crew in particular are queueing up to get down here.

:\pimp3:

yeah it's a Melbourne thing isn't it? They've been noted and often appear on compilations of some of the 'big' British DJ's - Sasha, Nick Warren and Dave Seaman especially, as well as the lesser known Break guys already mentioned. Also seen Nu-Breed live over here and they were excellent.

Its ok, doesnt mess too much with it and its still recogniseable.

However get rid of the laser fx, far too cheesy.

listening to it now

on full volume of course

I'm currently on the west side: Perth, where it's probably the biggest. Melbourne scene is more varied but to be honest, breaks are big across the country.

Nu-Breed, interesting, didn't think they'd carve out a niche outside of Aus.

:\pimp3:

The Fabric club - home of the CD mixes - has a breaks night each week, where a lot of those fellas play. Don't go too often myself nowadays, but the nights are very popular.

Ah, Fabric, yep. That club opened just as I departed the UK, I had free tickets to the opening care of a fine bird I worked alongside who was the girlfriend of Farley or Heller, can't remember which.

They've sure pumped some killer discs out too.

:\pimp3:

I heard the BLT Remix

Is not even a remix really...it's the song over a break beat...

How uncreative

Stirring the pot now I bet

eCKOh

i am sorry to say, but that sound horrible. in parts like one of this stupid eurotechno stuff ala scooter. sorry, but they should honestly overwork this mix.

Not bad, maybe give it a whirl live, the 98 version is bland (well, I might think differently seeing it live and on the piss )

Ishkur's Guide to Electronic music is a good place for some samples of different genres.

/TLV

Is that it? There really isn't all that much "remixed"...

This is the mix Hooky's been spinning at his club nights recently. Anyone know if this album will be mixed together in a DJ style, or seperate audio tracks?
