Best remix

For me Someone like You (James Holden Heavy Dub Mix).

Reunited in a day/K-Klass remix of RIAD, the Something Wild mix of Temptation, Married to the Mob mix of BLT and I also really like the Jacknife Lee remix of WFTSC for some reason... CTB

WFTSC planet funk remix. Sweet.

WFTSC Tribute Remix

Stephen Hague's Twelve Inch of Round & Round.

Superior to the band's album version, which is hard to say about the mixes of virtually every other track.

Ruined In A Day by K-Klass. Didnt New Order "perform" this version on Top of the Pops?

The Confused Instrumental is my favourite New Order track.

The Shep Pettibone remix of True Faith is also a favourite. It's a shame that broadcasters don't use it as a variation to the original version, as the presenter can easily talk over the second half drums-only part of the track...

Buttrich.

Hmmm, in no particular order

Regret: New Order Mix Spooky: New Order in Heaven Mix Touched By the Hand of God:Biff and Memphis Remix Blue Monday: Hardfloor Mix

Probably a couple more, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

I also liked a 1992-93 remix of Blue Monday which received quite a lot of airplay on local commercial radio at the time, but I was too young to remember the exact remix artist.

I mentioned that there was a limited ? the best of 2CD with eight Blue Monday remixes on this forum a couple of years ago, but forgot what the kind gentleman told me! It was on sale in HMV for £22.99 about fifteen years ago.

Yup

top top version

Thanks for that, sometimes my lager-addled memory plays tricks on me. Aaah, July 1993. Great times.

Is there a shorter edited version of this mix to download/buy somewhere?

Besides the Reunited In A Day remix of Ruined In A Day, I quite like the Ambient version of it. The Brothers in Rhythm remix of World is quite nicely done too, the same counts for the Perfecto mix, which is the only remix that is actually better than the original one, I think.

Furthermore the 2nd Temptation attempt (which is on Substance 1987) is much better than the original, but the same doesn't count for the 2nd Confusion version (which also was on Substance 1987).

Arthur Bakers version of 1963 (released in 1995) is almost better than the original. I like what he did with the guitars. So this one is a bit difficult to decide, depends on the mood I'm in ... I suppose.

Con-om-fus-ars-ion Spooky Stadium 1963 Arthur Baker cos it sounds more like New Order than the original! World Perfecto for taking a limp track and giving it balls without butchering it ... I had that BM remix CD and all I can say is if The Rest Of is a rip-off I don't know what that makes this. The nadir being Hawtin's snoozefest, the only original mix on it then. Incidentally, an edit of RIAD-K Klass mix was also used on Radio 1's Top 40. What a train-spotter I was back then!

Got to agree... I love the 2 min 40 sec intro before the song kicks in... Well better than the album version...

Sadly I am still one, especially where New Order are concerned. Was it commercially available? If so what were it on?

Love that intro too. But the song itself I prefer on the LP as it's more atmospheric.

Never released to my knowledge. Don't you prefer the long versions?

The long version is one of those tunes I never, ever get bored of listening to but Im curious as to whether the edited version was simply shortened (which I could do myself) or re-worked.

Yes, yes, yes!

Yeah it was just an edit. Which anyone could do. Ask Razormaid, whose mixes are in my opinion a complete waste of time - just repeating/editing bits so the tracks lose their cohesion.

Spooky (Magimix) is not mentioned yet! My second choice. Also not mentioned: True Faith (Alternate Faith Dub), my third choice. Eleven minutes, with all the strong points of the song in good order.

Is it wrong for me to really like the Last night a song saved my life remix of Temptation by Peter Black?

I spent many a night in the early 90s Stella'd up to the knackers listening to the Booga Bears ambient mix of RIAD but who were they? Im used to listening to remixes by friggers Ive never heard of but these take the biscuit.

Didn't they work with Neneh Cherry too?

Favorite remixes in chronological order...

Confusion (Original Arthur Baker 12" version) Sub-culture (John Robie 12" Remix) True Faith (Shep Pettibone 12" Remix) World in Motion (Carabinieri Mix) Regret (Sabres Slow 'n' Low)

I haven't really had anything wow me since those Weatherall remixes from the 90s. The more recent Richard X remixes were decent though.

The K-Klass Radio Edit was released on a promotional CD but never commercially. Copies are still relatively easy to come by if you look in the right places.

Also, it's just a straight edit rather than a "reworking".

Personally I think the razormaid version of the Spooky is superior to the Stadium mixes. Though a lot of the other mixes they did were choppy, their take on 586 is alright as well.

Ready for it..................

I think most remixes suck, especially the so called dj wank ones, that you can't even tell what song it is apart from a vocal snippet.

Haven't heard their take on Spooky and I won't go mad looking for it either. I love the way the Stadium mix manages to stay true to the orignal but give it estra umph. My first experience of Razormaid was actually their 586 on a semibootleg (I think) Decadence. I remeber thinking uh, what's the point? Further experience and I'm still not impressed.
