Highest Quality Remixes?

Have you ever heard a remix that made you sit back and go, "What the hell was that?!" The ones where they're so different from the original song that the remix really becomes a seperate song in itself, equal and sometimes superior to the original?

Mine:
Sarah McLachlan - Sweet Surrender (DJ Tiesto Remix)
Conjure One - Redemption (Max Graham's Dead Sea Remix)
BT - Never Gonna Come Back Down (Hybrid Remix)
Conjure One - Tears From The Moon (Hybrid's Twisted On The Terrace Remix)
Chicane - Saltwater (The Thrillseekers Remix)
BT - Shame (Way Out West Remix)
Avril Lavigne - I'm With You (Leama & Moor Remix)
Dave Matthews Band - When The World Ends (Oakenfold Remix)

Good example: Vengaboys - Kiss (Airscape Remix)

Apollo 440 - Stop The Rock (Gigolo Instrumental)
A true masterpiece!I don't understand why they named it "stop the rock's remix" it has nothing to do with it.(the "gigolo mix" uses some vocals from the original although).

Great track.

Another one that I popped into my head that sounds in my opinion nothing like the original is Tiesto - Sparkles (Transa mix)

Not a trance song, but FSOL - Pappa New Guinea (Nu-NRG Remix)... I heard this one first and I thought it was soooo damn good (for a chillin song i guess) that I wanted to hear the original, and when i heard it, it really let me down.

silence.. tiesto remix anyone?

21st Century Fux - Sunspirit

The original is completely different from Gouch vs Chable Oreo Breakbeat Remix, which is a complete monster.

Michael Andrews feat. Gary Jules - Mad World (Grayed Out Mix)

Posted by GrimReaper on Dec-11-2003 13:20:

Alice Deejay - Celebrate Our Love (Solid Sessions Remix)
- another example how to do a great, very different remix from a crappy original

Jewel - Stand (Markus Schulz Coldharbour Mix)
- not much in common with the original either. MS Club Mix has much more vocals but i prefer the Coldharbour Mix.

Apollo 440 - Stop the Rock (Gigolo Instrumental)

Some of my favourite remixes that sound different from the original:

ATB - 9PM (Signum Remix)......very old!
Balearic Bill - Destination Sunshine (DJ Tiesto Mix)
Madonna - What it feels like for a girl (Paul Oakenfold Mix)
Ayla - Ayla (Veracocha Mix)
Jose Amnesia - The Eternal (Pulser Remix)
Evanescence - Hello (Trifactor vs Gabriel & Dresden Mix)
Plummet - Damaged (Antillas Mix)
Chicane - Saltwater (Thrillseekers Mix)
Delerium - Silence (DJ Tiesto Mix)

In my opinion, the classics get remixed too often. They should not be remixed unless it is an absolutely brilliant Mix, otherwise it is just detracting from the original.

I agree!!

That just seems to be the idealism of many artists nowadays. Remix a classic and try to give it a new life, but sadly at most parts, they haven't really succeeded to do so. I've said this many times b4 but IMO trance of today is mostly disappointing anyway. Every track sound too similar with each other, no originality. Just borrow someone else's stuff. The "supersaw" trance is just getting very very very boring more and more every day.

ayumi hamasaki - vogue (junkie xl dub)
OMG what a masterpiece, sounds nothing like the original

coldplay - clocks (marvo V bootleg)

Posted by muravei on Dec-11-2003 20:12:

Well there's no question about what the most genious remix is...

Adam Beyer - Ignition Key (Speedy J remix) [true1202]

Posted by Snooper on Dec-12-2003 00:18:

Vengaboys - Cheekah Bow Bow (Transa Remix)
Vengaboys - Paradise (Dumonde Remix)
Vengaboys - Uncle John From Jamaica (M.I.K.E. Remix)

All quality remixes of crappy originals.

Alice Deejay - Better Off Alone (Signum Mix)

this mix takes the song from the cheddar cheez category to actually pretty of a credible quality tch00n.

Brooklyn Bounce - Club bizzare (DJ Scot Project Remix)(clicky)

only simularity to original is some wacko saying 'club bizzare' and some heavy bass at the start and end, prety sick track made me go nuts @ a club when the dj played it, i ran and asked him the name of the remix.
