I dont know how many people have heard the-'planet funk' remix of 'waiting for the sirens call' it is bloody beautiful, have you heard it??!! wwwwwwooooooooooohhhhhhaa BEAUTI!!!!!!!!!!!!! check it out .

also i just heard that peter hook is coming to new zealand on the 21st of september to play at the coherent club on k-road in auckland....yeeeh kick ass!

I haven't heard of it, but I hope it's a good remix.

Hello fellow Kiwi :)

Oh, this is the best remix of ALL time. I absolutly love it. It takes such a different angle to the track and it works so well. I was very very impressed and play it all the time.

Think most people on here know what it sounds like! I do like it myself,its actually quite dancey-i always thought most of the remix stuff would sink if it was played in a club,but this would be ok.

thank you for your replys . this place is friendlier than a room of druged hippies!! whenever i hear that remix i get all excited,(and when i hear the origional!!!) hey there new zealand brother!!!.. you have got to go to 95bfm.com and listen to the live feed!-all the time.

:D

Well, I'm excited now. I can't wait to hear it. Spotnik's link didn't work for me. :(

i didnt mean that that song was there!! sorry man, i was just preaching our student radio sorry to miss lead

i come here when everybody is sleeping...don't i ???!!!

theres about a 15hour delay for me to add my little bit

well that remix was on there last night.and mikey also played a joy division remix too, last night as well. i dont know who done that remix (joy division) , it wasnt as spectacular as the No remix, it was 'love will tear us apart'. but you cant get a copy of them from here . i was just saying for the new zealand fella to tune in cause hes a nz dude and there is alot of nz music played. sorry again i dont have a copy myself ,,,im going to get a fucking copy though, ive heard it played heaps on the radio by 'mikey havoc' ,, i might get my best friend to help me find it . then i will be set. yeeeha

(time for a emotio-con) (or two)

yep i've been thrashing this remix. hands down the best WFTSC remix. i played it on radio active (wellington) last saturday morn and i got a very excited caller wanting to know what it was. this remix stomps ovaries

yo wellington brother! hey i reckon you should play that song 'woop woop thats the sound of the police' or is that a shit request.

your the only one awake what other nationalities would be awake i wonder??

hey captain wellington... have you heard about the shapeshifter with the nz orchestra, tour ??? oooooooooooohhh nice.

yo that is a cool radio, woooooo blue monday live in madrid!! thanks spotnick you da man

no kiding man that is lovely radio!!! oooohhhhh krafty remix i havent been this inspired in ages! bbbeeeaaauuuutttiiiiffffuuuulllll

there is this funny techno sports whistle in that song

kia ora sister. haven't heard about shapeshifter but i will endeavour to play "woop, woop - sound of the police" (KRS-1?) and i'll also be playing the planet funk remix again. finally a remix that works, right up there with hardfloor's blue monday and the fire island mix of regret

oh sweet bro, whens your show?!! i will have to listen!!that would be extremely funny. i used to bombard juice tv with requests, i got every email address i knew, and made all of these requests, i only did this one or two times,(partly cause it never worked) "dear verge,shity old juice tv, please to play old-school videos,like that 'i hate every thing about you' that i remember my brothers and sister listening to and watching ...back in the day.

do you know that video to that 'i hate everything about you' song?? you know.. its on a beach ...really reallly nineties,, there is a blow up doll Cant remember the name of the band.

the lyrics go a bit like this

""and i.... dont care about your sister.. oohh oh""

""and i ...i ..i think sex is overated to.... ooohh oohhoohh'

Tis a thing of majesty; and even provoked me to start a 'spine tingles' thread a couple of months ago.

My NZ residence visa looks like it's been green lit- so I may well be in Auckland on the 21st (although I'll be living in Wellington)!!!!

computer retard question: are you supposed to be able to see the pic you chose in your profile when looking at your posts? i can't see mine even tho i set it

btw - i downloaded the planet funk remix from soulseek

Can't say i'm a big fan of remixes to be honest...the only one i've taken a liken to is the Arthur Baker 1963, and some of the True Faith ones like the Pink Noise Morel ones...

I'm usually not either. They're usually just lengthened, diluted versions of the originals. However, occasionally a remix totally changes a song, in a worthwhile way. I think the pump panel deconstruction remix of Confusion is a good example. It is almost a totally new song. I think the original is great, and the remix, in its own right. If the remix is gonna sound just like the original, then why bother? Some of the stuff I've heard on this thread makes it sound like it is suficiently different from the oringal (different and good, that is) that it is worth a listen.

Sometimes the remixes are done to the song fit better on the dancefloor. Like when the original track is great, but it has only 2 minutes long, there are vocals in the first 3 seconds, etc. Then you get a remix that sounds similar to original, but with a more apropriate bpm, a nice intro/ending, and so on. I agree most of the remixes are not good to listen "at home".

For me, if the remix is done what I consider right and does not completely change the song into something new, and still have parts of the original song then there is a very good chance that I will like the remix.

I have been searching for remixes for a friend and some of the remixes that I have found, are so different from the song that they were based off of, that at least for me, it was hard to listen to them or like since the songs were so different from what I was expecting.

Now I do like where they take parts of various songs and will mix them up, so they what I like to call “flow well” together with a good beat, like the Respect mix of DM, Erasure and NO.

I've found it on an American compilation cd called 'Ultra Electro',only on import here to Blighty,some other good tracks on cd1 too.Is Soulseek the only place I can get a download copy of it? Just want to know before I download the software,advice if any? Everyone's right too,considering some N.O.remixes haven't worked at all,think it's quality

I can see your point. With the vast majority of the songs it's the 'if it ain't broke, why fix it' attitude i have towards them, but with a song like Jetstream, i can see why remixes are worth checking out. Then again, i don't like some of the remixes where it seems like only a very small section of a song has been used to create the remix.

Meh i guess like someone else said, a lot of the remixes arn't exactly ones you're supposed to listen to at home!

Can't say I like Jetstream much but I sure do like Jacques Lu Cont's dub mix of it.

I agree with much of what Spotnik says but I also agree with your 'if it ain't broke, why fix it' attitude. I think that while what Spotnik says is true that remixes can add something new to a song, they fall flat the vast majority of the time. A good example of the converse of your statment ('if it is broke, then please do try to fix it') that I can think of is the Four Non-Blondes song "what's up". I fucking hated that song! One of the worst songs ever! Then I heard a dance remix of it and, while not great, was good enough that I could listen to it. Same thing as your example with Jetstream (though I don't hate Jetstream the way most others do-other than the lyrics).
