Best New Order Remix

Regret (Fire Island Mix), along with 49 others! ;)

Fire Island too for me. It was the first mix I had heard of Regret, and hopes were just so high for the LP... then... you can guess the rest.

Shep Pettibone remix of True Faith, it's far stronger than the Perfecto one.

One of the WORLD remixes (which one, who knows?!) and the THIEVES LIKE US instrumental on the other side of Murder...not that I am great lover of remixes.

I went other - EGG (its on the retro re-mix disc so NO must consider it a re-mix)

Probably the Perfecto edit, fucking great compaired to the original

I went for Regret - for the simple fact that it's better than the original song

Can't just choose ONE. Here's my top 5 (in no particular order):

Regret (fire island mix) Regret (Sabres slow n' blow- or whateveritsnameis: it's the one on Club) True Faith Remix (it's the friggin name of the Shep Pettibone remix, Mister Webmaster Sir!) True Faith (TWA mix) Nineteen63

"remix not done by New Order", Nic? Then what is the Record Mirror version of Sub-culture doing on this poll, then?

Regret Fire Island mix. The delicate lyrics suit the new treatment perfectly. Turns it into a completely different song.

it wasn't done by 'new order', its a dj razormaid mix..(see the sticky post at the top)..

and it is OFFICIAL as far as i figure it, it was released on a magazine release, and they had to authorize it..

(on the us cd-single for 'disappointed', they used the 'art of mix' version of gangster, so this isn't the first time they've gone to remix services)...

by the way, that fanmix of 'thieves like us', is just WAY TOO NOISY...i like the simple elegant version of the original, which i've mixed together with the instrumental..

I really hate all remixes, sorry. Never ever saw the f**king point to it. A complete waste of time, and a cheap way to cash in some more. I prefer ALL original New Order-mixes!!!

By the way, I most definitely don't mean the original 12"-mixes of songs. They rule alright!

Got to be the Perfecto Remix of 'World'. The Extended Version of Run 2 is excellent, aswell

Regret-FI Mix, hands down!! The beautiful jazzy piano solo, the smooth production, the piano riffs where the guitar used to be... *sigh* it brings to a higher state of existence where everyone is loved.

Now if you disagree with me, I'll rip your face off, so help me Simon!!

I personally loved the Perfecto Mix of World. I remeber really liking the original, before knowing that there were so many remixes, and when I found the Perfecto Mix on Napster, I was blown away and went on about it for a long time. About the Republic remix album, I think that would be awesome actually.

Oh yeah, just to state, I would have voted for the Stadium Mix of Spooky had it been on there.

1963 ('95 Arthur Baker Mix). But only because Blue Monday's '95 Hardfloor Mix isn't in there....for me it would be a clear winner. 3rd goes to Ruined In A Day (K-Klass Mix).

May I say also very good poll this one, better than bloody JD vs NO on Ceremony.

My favourite remix is the "no alla violenza" (i think that's how you spell it) mix of "World In Motion". I like the way Barney sings "we've got the world in motion" instead of "love's got the world in motion" and Hooky gets to play a bit more bass.

Originally posted by Major Tarantino My vote goes to perfecto mix of true faith. Its fantastic!

got to agree with you there major,this is the best new order mix i"ve ever heard. oakenfold is the daddy! steve smith,beermat king :)

What do you NOOLers think about those "Someone Like You" remixes? Pretty good on my opinion.

There's so damn many remixes that I can't honesly choose just one of them.

And that doesn't mean that I really do have even heard a half of them, really.

The remix of BLT, seconded by BM-88. Perhaps I just like how they were both turned into dance music, but good dance music. Actually, I think I heard this remix of BLT first, and it got me hooked on this song for a while because of the intro, before the lyrics. Once I heard the Brotherhood version, which is still good, I was a bit disappointed by the intro. With BM-88, the versionsw on (the best of) and Substance both do the original justice in my opinion. They don't completely mess up the original like BM-95 did, in my opinion, by making it too trancey. But, there are remixes of BM-88 that I absolutely loathe, like the version that used to be on the audio sample for BM on the neworderweb.com page. It's the one that has those sounds like someone's breathing heavily at the beginning. It sounds absolutely terrible, in my opinion. And, since this was the first remix I heard of BM, I actually heard the original first, I'm not voting for it. Enough Said

1 for The Perfecto remix of True Faith

I'm at this moment listening to something called "True Faith 2001(Philip Steir Edit)" on which I'm quite keen. I have no idea from whence it came. Anyone?

P.S. I too wish to send much love to Messiers Gabriel and Dresden for their Someone Like You mixes...scrumcious, melancholy, and altogether special.

The NO in Heaven mix of Spookey does it for me.

Spotnick. I love this forum. You are doing a remarkable job here as mod! That being said, can you PLEASE add an "email notification of replies" option so we can keep track of where our threads go and who and when someone replies? Just a harmless suggetion. Thanks man :)

You really shouldn't Hank, they're pretty ace.

Other notable remixes for mine are the Finger Lickin' breaks of Coombs' Crystal and Baker's light-handed sweetening of 1963.

Originally posted by CTB ... I don't know, that Fire Island mix of Regret gets a bit too "Peter Allen" for me at the end

RandyBear, I really do shudder at the thought of what's tucked away at the back of your record shelf.

:\pimp3:

Karma & Bones 2002 Confusion remix without a doubt a blinder from the Baker boy :bag:

...I suddenly think of Blue Monday Vs Cant get u outta my head. it's disaster.

I voted for Shep's BLT, but it was not an easy choice. I LOVE Arthur Baker's 1963 (a lot better than the original), Felix da Housecat's HTS and Perfecto's TF! But I prefer Blue Monday 83 to 88. And that "Stolen Mix" for Thieves Like US would never get my vote!

Being a sonic youth fan, I like the sub-culture remixes! But I still chose True Faith Morning Sun.

Excellent thread, and well nigh impossible to answer. What's interesting is that I've only found one person here who doesn't like remixes. I've really rediscovered NO through the remixes; I knew the originals so well (Substance was my last NO purcahse before Get Ready), that the re and/re re-mixes are great 'cos I know the originals so well I can 'hear' them running in parallel (It's all done with wires and stuff!). The Lee Coombs remix of Crystal is awesome' it actually features very little of the original, and uses the original as an 'instrument' in the construction of a new track, without ever betraying the original (this stuff is really good), having said that my all time favourite is the remix of Bizarre Love Triangle on Substance- I thought it was PSB but having read through above I guess it isn't; I just love it when that 'vocoder' or whatever comes in; it reminds me of 'Sparky and the magic piano', I just melt. A shout goes ot for TWA's Grim up North mix of True Faith, and Morel's Pink Noise version. The mix of Round and Round is worse than the original. World+Perfecto = pants. I agree with the above comment about Regret; why mess about with perfection! The Fire Island mix is horrible; it ends up sounding like Shakatak or one of those Lounge Lizard/Jazz funk bandsed (also the reason I dislike Oakenfold's True Faith). I prefer somethign completely left-filed like Sabres). Arthur Baker's 1963 should have been the single, but it's just such as sad song lyrically (as in pathetic). Run2 is fucking magic (those multi-layered Hooky runs at the end phew). I can't remember which one I voted for now.
