My favourite too... didn't know it ever had a different title to it though!

Regret- The funky mix; was it Fire Island?
WFTSC- Planet Roc mix; brand new, but the dog's danglies!
Reunited in a day- An average song transformed into a class act.
Oh... and pole axe me with a cucumber if you must, but on the B list I would add;
60MPH Supermen Lovers.
J-E-T Jacques LeCont.
AgentWood, tell me how do you rate the Pump Panel Floatation Mix, then?
When I bought the Pump Panel 2x12" in 1995, I could not (and still can't) stand the A-Side, but that Floatation Mix is the bomb!
Just curious. :)
1963 (arthur baker remix) and "Ruined in a Day" (Reunited remix) just because they both transcends so much from the original, but many other fantastic remixes like Felix Da Housecat's "Here to Stay" and some others.
The original "Here to Stay" has an energetic vibe already to it-- almost manic-- and Felix Da Housecat's version parlays it without losing it's edge even though the bpm is a bit slower than the original. Tough song to pull off I would imagine.
By the way, Felix Da Housecat did a remix of "Slow Hands" by Interpol and it sounds absolutely great.
The Mac Quayle vocal mix of Guilt is a Useless Emotion and the Perfecto Mix of World (price of love). Blue Monday 88, we well.
For awful remixes, how about Blue monday 95, the Felix da house cat remix of Here to Stay, Shame of the nation, and that awful version of Subculture on Substance? For the latter, I'm convinced this version is why people hate this song. The original is excellent.
I think Ruined In a Day (K-Klass Remix) is by far the best, but Regret (Fire Island Mix) does come close. I'm not a fan of the original Ruined In a Day, but the remix is fantastic! By the way, I think Reunited In a Day was a different remix, and not the K-Klass one.
My favourite is Round And Round (Club Mix) fron the 'Round & Remix' single
BLT (Shep Pettibone Remix) deserves a mention as does Crystal (Lee Coombs Mix)

Agreed, this is one of the best mixes out there, yet everyone seems to favor that horrible Fire Island rubbish.
Kinda surprised by the responses. I view 12 inch mix of BLT as extraordinary, and the Round and Round remix, damn, cant remember what it was called, on the 12 inch record, that starts with that clipping synth line instead of the slow build up is just incredible. I think the reinforcement of this comes from the fact that I didnt even like Round and Round much but that remix got me to LOVE it. The New Order remix of Regret is also extremely interesting, offers a completely different and distinct interpretation.
For me it's got to be the recent Secret Machines rejig of Temptation. Understated maybe, but one of the few that doesn't murder original. I think the only time NO sound dated is when listening to some of these mixes, especially the True Faith one with those cheesey keyboard stabs at the beginning.
I'm not a big fan of remixes, but New Order do have a lot of good ones. I'll go with the Pump Panel Reconstruction Remix of Confusion, partly because it is so different from the original (what the hell is the point of doing a remix if it's just the same damn song with a couple minutes of stretched out garbage at the intro and the outro?). I do like BLT 87 and Blue Monday 87 too, though.

That's a pretty decent sounding mix... well, the 1:02 of it anyway.
