why the hell is there a thrillseekers mix of this? those 2 do not seem to go together. I will wait though and pass judgement until i hear it, I heard the Durand remix yesterday and it wasn't quite as god awful as people were saying it was

Quite useless.
He's just tweaked the bassline and added a few touches.
I wouldn't call it a remix, an edit perhaps, a half-hearted one at that.

I agree with SMC. The Prodigy + Thrillseekers sound (well the sound that we've heard from Helstrip) just doesn't work together. I haven't listened to the mix yet, but I can only assume it has a grittier, dirtier sound (maybe electro-house type). If he was going in that direction, he should have went under a different name than "Thrillseekers". Kind of disapointed that Helstrip really hasn't released much in the past year or two. He should really do another track under the "Hydra" guise, or produce another Rapid Eye track (Absolut was disapointing IMO). I know he was working on a "Thrillseekers" album, but I dunno what happened to that. Maybe that's what he's been doing....but it's probably going to be quite commerical-popish (like the Club Mix of "Synaethesia (Fly Away)" or "Dreaming of You").

i heard it

its not bad, pretty much sounds like the original sped up a bit with a trance bassline

better than the durand mix

Thanks D.Edge. I agree, it doesn't sound THAT much different from the original at all. Just has that Thrillseekers bassline in the background at points. Seems kind of like a waste IMO. It would be cool if he made it more like a "rework" than just simply putting a slightly different bassline in. And perhaps under a different name. I'm sure Sander van Doorn could have made a better remix of this....esp a techier and more energetic one. This one is kind of boring. Helstrip... i'm disapointed! get back to making quality music!

ugh, that bassline is all wrong

I can't imagine The Thrillseekers' sound in The Prodigy's track.
Hope Steve won't disappoint us, but I don't really have high hopes for this.

I heard it and it really is a pathetic piece of shit

i can't believe steve tried this and im horrified by the result.

honestly, this has to be one the worst remixes iv ever heard
