Eric Prydz vs. Pink Floyd - Proper Education

just released on beatport.com yesterday... hot damn!!!!



8/10

Leger Mix is the only one worth anything at all (and I'm even tiring of that one), the rest are all near 0/10's for me.

Was fun to hear when Erick E spun it as a closer on Extrema last summer (I blame beer), but after that, it quickly got boring.

The fact that radio here is playing it twice an hour, half a year after I first heard it, doesn't really help either.

Great for getting people to go "HEY! It's that Pink Floyd song!" That's about it, really.

More thoughts here.

The Leger mix is fun, definitely a different feel than the original. That said, the original will still do the business at most parties...take the fact that it's been remixed a zillion and one times the Prydz version is a solid track. He's even been playing out a version labeled Eric Prydz - Dub that's basically the song without the vocal track. I like it, very Prydzy...lots of energy

I hate it already. Released on beatport yesterday... I went out yesterday, heard it twice on my way to the bar, twice again while at the bar. I can't stand it.

i never get sick of it. Bought it on vinyl a month er so back and I still like it a lot.

ima go check out the various rmxs though.

I'm afraid it'll be more like the masses going "HEY! It's that Eric Prydz song!" when they hear the Pink Floyd original

If you actually believe that, then wow. Pink Floyd is infinitely more popular to the mass culture than Eric Prydz is/has been/ever will be.

As for the remixes, eh... 4/10 or so.

I guess you've never met the mass culture of Dutch sheep. Most of 'us' are too dumb to even know Pink Floyd

Christ

Well I guess there's a certain niche for everything.

Pink Floyd's original version is like 100 times better than this one I guess it's not completely bad track but we need to thank Pink Floyd for that.

It's still a dancefloor killer down here in Miami.

Im sure id like it drunk in a club but id never play it myself.

Eh, I'm not so sure. This isn't the same kind of case where, say, goths might go "Hey! It's that Marilyn Manson song!" when they hear Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams, because Manson did a total reinterpretation of the original.

Prydz doesn't do enough with this to distinguish from the original. Hell, the whole thing RELIES on the original! And, ultimately, because the song credits go to Floyd as well.

leger mix is the best yes, original is solid work as well.

Been hearing it tonnes for months and havent and dont think I will get tired of it. Saw Prydz play at Godskitchen last Saturday and nothing could beat the reaction when he played that (despite how much its been whored), gave me even more respect for the track.

i really like it, of course, if you think away the pink floyd vocals then there's definitly no bricks left in the wall :P but it's damn catchy... stupid videoclip though!

Pig & Dan remix is really nice

This track blew the house away when Marco V spun it last weekend.

Just heard it tonight at a show, it goes down nicely live, no doubt. As expected, everyone was wondering "what is this Pink Floyd tune?"

Still, I could pass.

Hmm yes you've got a good point there. In my previous post I was merely thinking of the rather young people here who tend to listen to the Eric Prydz hits that end up in the charts, you know, I just don't think they even know Pink Floyd, which is sad. Although, if the song credits go to the Floyd as well, things might just end up the other way round with the kids starting to look for more Pink Floyd music

- "Yes, you do. You've just used a double negative"


who recognizes it?

As for the song, I don't like it too much, although the bass is great.
