... silly me, there I was thinking it was an opinion, not a universal truth

I stand corrected.

It's an universal nation after all.

PS. You forgot to say "imo"

Deserves a LOL.

golden grill. where was his fail?

i quite like the remake. its a little textbook, but he kept the uni nation atmosphere and did as much as should have been done without going overboard. my personal fave rmx was by oliver lieb. i had a pop at rmxing uni nation a year or so ago since it is my favourite edm melody ever.

i love it when people on forums present personal opinions as if they speak for whole of mankind

just because people don't add 'IMO', it doesn't mean they aren't stating an opinion. it's always an opinion, take solace in knowing that. anyone who thinks their view is anything more is clearly deluded and not worth arguing with

i haven't heard the remix. i can't imagine i'll like it but providing the intentions were good (ie. the way you described it) then its mere existence doesn't offend me or anything

Not a fan of this remix but it doesn't really offend me.

Perhaps recycling old stuff is pretty bad for music, but I can't see how the producer of the record can be a "dickhead" for doing so. If anyone's at fault, it's James Zabiela and the people at Bonzai for promoting it and exposing people to it.

I mean, I made a Coldplay remix a few years back and Judge Jules played it on his R1 show. I didn't send it to any DJs, he picked up from somewhere (maybe here?) and played it - and while he might be a dickhead for playing it, I surely can't be seen as one for making it. Reason I didn't send it out is cos I didn't think anyone would want to play it; if I'd thought it was good enough to played by top DJs then I may well have sent it out, as this guy has done. Why the fuck not?

Sometimes you may just be pissing about and come up with something you wanna play out. It may be shit, but if a top DJ picks it up and wants to show it to the world then it's totally unfair to consider the producer as some sort of wanker for making it.

It doesn't make him any better if there's people who are worse than him. Man, sometimes I think about the parents who created such a fucking imbecile child like you. Your mother must've been quite distressed when she popped you out.

I don't have to prove anything to anyone on these boards. If I don't like people, I tell them. It's not hard to see who's the half-wit, when a tough guy gets pissed off over some random kid on the internet .

Posted by Skov on Jul-21-2008 02:21:

I don't really know how random it was. You've been acting like some omnipotent entity on these boards for quite some time. It's in the nature of mankind to be able to seperate the half-wits from the normal people. And unless you are able to corroborate otherwise, I will persist in viewing at you as a half-wit.

As to the topic itself, I thought the remix was unnecessary. Not the worst I've heard, but just as boring as the original.

Yeah, you've surely contributed alot to these forums. Thanks for the laughs, nigga.

same applies, him referring to mike's comment as a 'fact' should really just be interpreted as another opinion. it was (slightly) tongue in cheek anyway by the looks of it

If you took out the damn melody which doesn't blend in with the techhouse percussions this remix should begin to sound somewhat near decent

it doesn't sound right otherwise.. it's a hard one to remix

I can somewhat agree that the original sounds a bit harsh and grooveless but it still has it's charm, it sounds that it belong in the late 90's but one that aged quite well actually

Universal Nation is in need of a good remake. Too bad I can't tell a damn thing about this particular attempt from that shoddy Youtube video.

Like most classic trance tunes I'm sure this one has been remixed a bazillion times. Are any of the newer versions any good?

i thought push's 2003 remake was decent, in that it actually found a new use for an old melody and the resulting tune had quite a different feel, rather than being a note-for-note update

saying that, the same can be said for his 2005/6 remake of strange world, only that was awful
