Papua New Guinea (Blue States Mix)

There's this flute or whatever at the end of the Blue States Mix that totally gilds the whole song.
Original or Blue States Mix?

samples please.

This sample starts near the end. I haven't heard the original in a while but I THINK this one is rather similiar to it. Anyway, you can hear the flute in there, and I love it!

That's gay, but yeah the song is good as hell.

The Blue States mix is shite. If you like it, you'll get a kick out of Papua New Guinea Translations, which is similarly bankrupt retro shite (the first two translations aside).

Somehow I knew you'd say that.
I gave the original a listen and I must say it's better than Blue States. But the flute is so nice, don't you agree?

I'll have to go fetch my 2001 remixes single to re-listen. The original is pure bliss though: my favourite piece of music. I have the 2001 single, the Translations album and the PNG Remix Anthology on the Accelerator rerelease, and I'm gonna have to find the 1992 single for the Graham Massey and Hamish McDonald mixes.

I get kind of aggressive about the many name-jumping remixes of the track out there, and the Blue States mix is one of those for me, especially as the FSOL did a whole album in the same style themselves. Trouble with that album is the first couple of tracks are brilliant but the idea just doesn't stretch.

The remixes I love most are:

Andrew Weatherall Mix
Journey to the Pyramid
Papsico Translation
The Lovers Translation

But nothing tops the original.

they are both different, I cannot choose one really.

weatherall remix is the best remix besides the original. close second is the oil funk dub and the journey to the pyramid remix. massey's remix is horrible

You've not heard Satoshi Tomiie's remix then?

You mean that fucking dull prog mix that only exists so house and trance jocks can beatmatch it? Yeah, that's a real piece of art.

The only mix of this which is worthy is the Andrew Weatherall Remix.

But as Others has said, and im sure many people will say in the future, no mix will ever top the Original, its a haunting masterpiece. The best there was, the best there is, and the best there ever will be.

I enjoy several mixes of this along with the original, depending on my mood. Only 3 mixes i can't stand at all and they are Graham Massey mix, Hamish McDonald mix and Simian mix.

I think my fav version is Qube Mix.

Yeah, the Simian Mix is fucking bizarre. I've never heard the Qube Mix, or the Dali Mix, but they only ever came out on vinyl so I probably never will.

Both of them appear on the original '91 vinyl which was reissued a few years back tho. Dali Mix = original 12" version, just different titling. Qube mix is a wonderful acidic version and has never been released on cd to my knowledge.

Heh, I've seen that vinyl. Shame I have no decks though.

It's a darker, more complex take on the original, that's at least as good. It's not all that different from the original either, so I don't see how you can call it dull.

no, you seen the S12 re-release, it's very similar to the original vinyl, artworkwise etc

Papua isn't about being dark. The best mixes of the track change it but don't make a blissful track into a dark one because that's missing the point. And I call it dull because it's about 11 minutes of aimless chugging prog wankery. And taking the elements of the original, scattering them about and adding some murky synths may be more complex but artistically it's rubbish.

I was talking about the re-release: the one Grim linked to in that post.

ok

It builds towards a blissful climax at 7 mins, apart from that it's a prog appreciation thing I guess.
