I had it locked and then heard another monstrosity. Ruining a perfectly good song by being a "try-hard DJ" and adding sound effects for the hell of it, which is a far worse crime than a deliberately bad song.

[Noobz0r]

Flume?!

How ****ing dare you.

 

[por_please_ya]

How ******* dare you.

HAHA. I actually don't mind that song. The original is shockingly different :O That's what I call a remix.

 

[Loonerty]

I did technically specify that it needed to be mixed by another artist, but if the nommer is happy to leave it then so am I.

I thought I might like a classical song with a beat.

Turns out that's not the case.

I've had a quick listen through the playlist and a lot of these remixes belong in the shit remix basket where they go overboard with the remixing for the sake of it and destroy the original song rather than enhancing it which is what a good remix should be.

The remix I nommed is a remix which enhanced the original song and if it doesn't at least get a podium it will confirm that none of you have a clue about remixes.

If you want to learn about what a great remix is you should buy The Cure's Mixed Up album which are remixes of their best songs and quite a few of them I prefer to the original songs.

Like these ones.










They are great remixes because Robert Smith remixed them himself, he didn't leave it to some f**king muppet with a DIY remixing program to remix his songs.

I think I delivered a similar rant about shit remixes during my original remix round and pointed to The Cure's Mixed Up album as an example of good remixes.

All these years later and nothing has changed, I don't know why I even bother.

 

[Broken]

Nine Inch Nails aren't averse to a remix or two, a number of their releases were accompanied by a remix album and a lot of their singles had many remixes.

The Broken EP was followed by the Fixed EP

The Downward Spiral they brought out Further Down the Spiral. And the Closer single (Closer to God) had this remix that appeared in Se7en.


The Fragile was followed by Things Falling Apart

Year Zero was followed by Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D which had this remix which I like


And for a long time the official Nine Inch Nails website had a remix section (now http://ninremixes.com/ )

 

[Plugger35]

The Cure best of album Galore released in 1997 included this bonus new track which was a huge hit at the time and was basically a remix to begin with.




Also contained a remix of Mint Car which sounds almost identical to the original, that's the genius of Robert Smith, he can remix a song without even remixing it.




Radio mix is like the mix of that song that was played on the radio, like a shortened mix of their live version with swear words cut out of it and ads added to it.

For the mash up round I chose Nine Inch Nails Head Like A Hole mashed up with Carly Rae Jepsen's Call Me Maybe, it worked surprisingly well.




Nine Inch Nails songs work great with remixes and mash ups which speaks volumes for the quality of their songs, even with pop songs mixed in they sound good.

Crazy how little respect mumble rap gets here considering some of the so-called 'greatest songs of all time' are just covers of mumble rap songs:

Rather hear the original or Tom Waits doing a cover
