Dear god, let them die.
This is like necrophilia.

Agreed. Go make some fresh new tunes instead for crying out loud

I can see why some people do make remakes - its a cash cow, and many smaller labels who are struggling for money could find that by re-releasing a classic with a few new mixes they can get a lot of money (eg Lost Language re-releasing Cafe del Mar 98 or Solar Stone - 7 Cities with a couple of new remixes).
Also, there are some tracks that were amazing at the time but sound dated now due to the differences in production style, technology etc.
A remake can sometimes "freshen up" an old tune - I for one would love to see a remake of Liquid Child - Diving Faces done in current production styles.

I havent heard all these remakes so I cant comment on specifics but bear in mind they are not all bad. And at least the original artists will get some credit, something they wouldnt do if someone simply made a bootleg

werd, don't stir up the classics!

I agree that producers should make new tunes instead of making unnecessary remakes of tunes that are good enough as they are. Remaking old material isn't very original either...

remaking an old song is not bad every now and then, but when you have an excess of remixes of one song, it's a bit too much. 1 or 2 is enough.

I think 2002 was a much worse (or better, depending on your view) year for remakes. It had Binary Finary, Cafe del Mar, Above the Sky, Seven Cities, Out of the Blue, Flaming June, and a slew of other ones that I can't remember.
I think the difference with 2002 was that most of the remakes were quality. Most of the remakes out this year are cheesy shit...

Ooops, sorry, that's just a repressing of the Iberia and Rapid Eye Remixes.

But that's okay, I found two more to replace it.

ya got my vote...

Exactly. It was frustrating when remakes were being done in 2002, but at least most of them were good. These 2004 remakes are not only greater in quantity, but lower in quality.

At this rate, trance will reach a critical mass of remakes of remakes in 2009 and implode into nothingness.

Add Jon The Dentist - Global Phases 2004 to that list

lololol

lets make a list of remakes that were actually good...

Energy 52 - Cafe del Mar (Three 'n One Mix)
Salt Tank - Eugina (Salt Tank's Reactivation // Michael Woods Mix)

yep...that's about it...

Re: Make the Remakes Stop!

Well... Point Zero 2004 is much better than the original (me think)

Considering Point Zero is from 1994, I'm going with a negatory on that. It it easily one of trance's most forward-thinking pieces ever.

Re: Re: Re: Make the Remakes Stop!

Yep. Something new instead of the *add year* remakes would be nice to hear. Everyone seem to be into remaking hits of the past more into misses of the future IMO.

Agreed. The original still is on many DJs' playlist every once in a while.

I still think the Agnelli & Nelson remixes of the remakes of Global Phases and Don't Give Up totally own the originals

"Don't immitate, innovate"

I must be the only one on the planet who think Remember Magnetic North is a ch00n...except for Markus maybe.

At least i'm in good company

are you forking nuts?? This tune is awesome!! One of the best mash-ups out there imho anyway .

even though some of them i think still sound good i agree that they should probably be concentrating on making new material. there just seems to be a lot of remakes lately. are people running out of ideas?

There is nothing wrong with remakes.you dont like it then dont listen to it..
