Hum, remix not done by New Order I meant.. because I'm pretty sure something like Temptation 87 would win it otherwise.

Regret both Weatherall mixes. I know I've banged on about them a lot but they are a work of art in their own right.
Somebody actually voted for the Confusion Pump Panel mix? 
BTW, there are two "fake" remixes listed above.
The Sub-Culture remix is a Razormaid production, hence, not "official".. but Razormaid had access to the master recordings, so it makes it a good remix, best than the 12" Remix.
The "Stolen Mix" of Thieves Like Us, I put it there because on several thread people said it was the best they've seen, was done exclusively for NewOrderOnline.com and is featured in our multimedia archives. It's a fan mix.. but I think the guy who did it should seriously consider doing real remixes...

I usually say so.. I never liked 1963 until I heard that remix. The same thing happened to me with "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" by U2, the remix is enhancing the song so much that it's one of my personal best.
But I voted for BLT, this remix is what got me into New Order... I prefered dancy tunes then :D

i voted for the Subculture mix because it enhances the original so much. the rest of the songs i enjoy the album or single versions of as much as the remixes but if i listen to Sub Culture it's going to be the Record Mirror mix without a doubt. I could send this to anyone who hasn't heard it...just clear some space in your email...(about 8MB)
i totally disagree (surprise, surprise) about the Stolen Mix of Thieves. While it does stay true to the original, it has the most overused drum samples ever to appear on a neworder mix. The original of Thieves is so perfect that no mix could ever outplay it.
Fire Island, KKlass, Felix, Coombs, Weatherall (slow n low)...all good versions but no mix betters the original like the Record Mirror version of Sub Culture.
Do the remixes of ruined in a day not qualify? e.g. the ambient mix and the reunited mix? Or are those by NO themselves? I prefer those two to the original.

i think the K Klass mix qualifies as the Reunited mix...gotta check but i'm pretty sure that's their version. Ambient mix is good too!
I absolutely LOVE the fire island mix of regret. I was quite disappointed the first time I actually listened to the original song. I expected it would be sound closer to this mix, not so guitar oriented. then I liked more and more but it will always be behind the fire island mix.
Ruined in a Day (Reunited in a Day Remix) = K-Klass Remix.
It's the SAME mix..
And it qualifies because if was remixed by K-Klass.. and it's in the options :D
Now this is a tough poll. So many great mixes to choose from, once you weed out all the crap like those Reggae Ruined in a Day remixes!
Ultimately I went with the BLT/Shep Pettibone since it was one of the first songs I ever heard, has a lot of appeal with non-New Order fans, and even made it on Substance!
Also love the RiaD Ambient mix (how was that left off?), The Perfecto mixes of TF and World, the jazz piano in the Fire Island mix of Regret, and Kiss of Death (if for no other reason it has the extended ending).
As a side note, does anyone else here feel that New Order could have released an awesome remix album for Republic? Say what you will about the album, but some of the greatest mixes I've ever heard for any group come off of that album.

I think if they had remixes for a lot of those tracks they would sound better. Aside from Special I think all the other tracks could be enhanced with better production. And I wouldn't say that about any other New Order release.

Arthur Baker's Nineteen63 for me as well - I don't know, that Fire Island mix of Regret gets a bit too "Peter Allen" for me at the end - not very New Order at all IMHO. Regret is such a perfect single it needs no remixing.
And Nic - sorry to be so anal, but the '87 version of Temptation is NOT a remix, it's a total re-recording.

Yea, somehow I didn't see it. Still, I'd have voted for the ambient mix.
In an ideal world New Order would just go back in the studio and re-record the whole damn album.
Come on, Here To Stay (Felix the Housecat) has to be the best mix ever. Apart from that, the singles are normally better than the mixes. How many remixes can you think off which still have the trademark Hooky bassline intact? Not many. QED
A ghost just posted here!!
As for the Ambien remix of RIAD, you can vote for it, I just took the mixes people "nominated" in previous threads...!
I have to admit that I'm not familiar with every remix listed, but Blue Monday-88 took what was already a classic, nearly perfect dance track, and made it into an immortal dance track. Though other songs may be better, this was a song that had a far reaching affect on the music world, and brought countless new fans into the world of NO.
Originally posted by Benny's Cobweb Eyes Regret Fire Island is my all-time favourite remix of any song by any artist.
I'm with you on this one....great for lap dances BTW 
Seriously though....how did NO learn to play that jazzy piano....

For a lap dance, I would take the Sabre of Paradise remixes.. they are LONGER ;)
The Perfecto remix of True Faith! I LOVE the piano and the beat and it sounds GREAT when played in my car REAL LOUD!
:D:D:D:D:D anita, i feel so extraordinary...

Ruined In A Day K-Klass Reuinited mix is the best of the more recent ones - okay it's now nearly 10 years old, but their treatment of it completely brightened up what was quite a dreary original album track.
:)
I'd have to agree that the remixes from "Republic" are all superb (bar the Sly & Robbie mixes of "Ruined"), but I'd have to side with "Reunited in a Day" despite Mr Sumner's crap dancing to it on TOTP and Hooky playing non-existant bass.
The Perfecto mixes of "World" & "True Faith" must have impressed the band as they dragged Steve Osbourne in to mix "Getready".
And what about the Hardfloor mix of "Blue Monday"? That should be listed surely?
Have to say the original Temptation 7" sounds more like a remix today, what with Barneys vocoded vocals!!!
