Remixes better than the original?

[zetec]

Just like a film sequel being better than the original, is there a remix that is better than the original?

I think there may be, Mike Shinoda's remix of Depeche Mode's Enjoy The Silence? I remember this as it was used by Top Gear when Clarkson reviewed the Golf GTI.

Is there any others?

Max Graham's version of Yes, Owner of a Lonely Heart, I rather like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZh3Nj7HuEo

(Cracking video too!)

Also this, a subtle but excellent remix of Relax: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=802b-mwK3a4

IMO, pretty much every remix is terrible. There is one, and only one, exception:

Of all the remixes of that track, this one was my favourite! Nice pick, Stevie Bee.

Doesn't really get any better than that - it's one thing improving on the source material, another giving rise to arguably one of the first ever nods towards Trance as a genre!

And as to the OP, the 16B remix of Enjoy the Silence was less commercially available (probably because it goes on forever!) but is an absolute belter too!

[Hackney]

One Dove - Breakdown (William Orbit Stereo Odyssey)

Bjork - Big Time Sensuality (Justin Robertson Prankster Mix)

Some people may not get it but Kruder& Dorfmiester have done remixes of ' useless' by Depeche Mode and 'Glorecki' by Lamb which I love! How do you do the link thing on an iPad?

Bug powder dust by Kruder and Dorfmiester is a good un!

This was what I thought of before I even opened the topic... Didn't Top Gear use this for the Ferrari 430 as well?

David guetta - just a little more love (wally lopez remix)

Guetta used to be good but has gone the cheese route these days.


Yeah yeah yeahs - heads will roll (a-track remix)

Cornershop - brimful of asha (norman cook remix)

[simoid]

From my youth I remember the Thin White Duke remix of Mr Brightside being excellent.

Not sure if it was actually "good" or if I just took a liking to it.
