Remixes that are far better than their original

I'll start off with Bj�rk - Who Is It (Vitalic Remix).

The original was faaaar better than that remix

Every time I hear her voice I get the sudden urge of hacking off my ears with a rusty butter knife.

Any pop track remixed is better than the original, really. Almost.

lol, I happen to like Bj�rk.

And that remix did no service whatsoever imo

Though this is getting slightly off-topic, there are only two Bj�rk remixes that I can think of that I actually like.

The Infusion (I think?) remix of Joga which I can't find a clip of.

and this:

Do you honestly think that obnoxious, brainless dance production makes for something better than the original? Seriously?

That is absurd.

Who said remixes had to be brainless dance productions?

No.

Do you mean Introvert - Joga by any chance? I enjoy both of his mixes, really great.

Infusion did a great remix of Bj�rk - Pagan Poetry but i don't remember them ever remixing Joga..

Yeah, that's it.



Introvert/Infusion are similar

And yeah, the Infusion remix of Pagan Poetry was pretty good as well, come to think of it.

Haha, this one was great. I think Holden was actually asked by Britney's record company to do a remix because they had heard he was a good producer and then he gave them that remix and they 'd

Vanessa Mae - White Bird (Cosmic Gate Remix)

..just for the sake of argument..

gabriel & dresdens remix of sarah mclachlan - fallen is a massive imprtovement. I herd the G&D mix first and thought 'the original of that must be such a powerful song, whihc they have turned into an awesome trance track. But the original has no emotion or power to it at all! G&D did a fuckin awesome job there in my opinion.

2 examples of a 'normal' trance tracks I can think of are energy 52 - cafe del mar and push - strange world. I think most people would know the 3 in 1 mix and 2000 mix (respectively) as the originals, but theyre not. The actual originals, which are never played or on any compilations, have all of the familiar elements but just sound crap - it's quite interesting if you've not herd them before :-)

I was of course refering to the track in the first post.

No. Pop is not just a new Britney or Rihanna song. There's a crazy amount of good pop music, just like there's a crazy amount of really awful remixes of pop tracks.

And yeah, Bj�rk is awesome, from her distinctive voice to her overall fascination for (abstract) music and choice of partners (her main producer is Mark Bell of LFO and her songs have been remixed by some of the finest names in the world of abstract electronica - The Black Dog, Speedy J, Beaumont Hannant, �-Ziq, Funkst�rung, Herbert etc.). Plus, she is (still) cute as hell.

This Plaid remix of All Is Full Of Love is one of the few examples I have where the remix succeeded to improve already classic masterpiece (I know that's not the subject of this thread, but what the hell - if not for anything else, at least look at the astounding video directed by Chris Cunningham (the guy who also made Come To Daddy, Windowlicker and Rubber Johnny)):



On topic, here's one track that's ridiculously better than original:
System 7 - Alpha Wave (Plastikman Acid House Mix) - Ever building and mindblowing, almost 20 minutes long acid trip
and while we're ta(l)king acid here's another one:
Robert Armani - Circus Bells (Hardfloor Remix)
and another (better-known) classic from the same year:
Humate - Love Stimulation (Lovemix by PVD)

By pop music I meant music that was made purely for the sake of money.

Gianluca Motta feat. Molly - Not Alone (Deadmau5 Remix)

say what you will about Deadmau5, but he did a brilliant job on the remix duties for this track. it's by far one of my favorite tracks of 2008.

Kaskade - 4 AM (Adam K and Soha Remix)

IMO its better than the original , more danceable but hey , the original is good as well..

Sonorous - Protonic (Ronski Speed Remix)
Aly & Fila - Eye Of Horus (Ronski Speed Remix)
Perry O'Neil - Wrong Bet (Fine Taste Remix)
Shiloh - Cafe Del Mariachi (Nick Warren Mix)
Lens - Beyond The Shadows (Moonbeam Remix)
Lustral - Everytime (Nalin & Kane Mix) <-- IMO
Cats & Sieja - Belmondo (Hammer & Funabashi Remix)
RST - Stormbound (Maarten De Jong Edit)
Above & Beyond - No One On Earth (Sonorous Remix)
Above & Beyond - Can't Sleep (Sonorous Remix)

Kamaya Painters - Endless Wave (Albion Remix)

Alex Morph - New Harvest (Human Blue Remix)

Absolutely blows the shitty original out of it's trance by numbers water.

Delia gonzalez & gavin russom Relevee (Carl Craig remix)

Happy Mondays - Wrote for luck (Think about the future mix)

What's with everyone disliking Vitalic's remix? Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess.
