If it sounds all right, why not?

Originally posted by tubularbills So i'm listening to ASOT right now, and current track is a remix of "The Police - SOS". i mean, it sounds all right....but wtf? where did this come from? and why are we remixing 80s songs?

it's an awesome tune imo. and if it sounds good...let them bootleg whatever the hell they want.

because music from the 80s is sweet

i wouldn't say it's a new trend though... think of all the Depeche Mode remixes, Max Graham vs Yes, Tears For Fears remixes, etc

i realize its nothing really new [no pun intended], and while i do agree that [some] 80s music is sweet...... i just think it should be left alone.

Because he got tired of trying to make money from an Adagio remix... oh wait... he spun "Hymne" today... scratch that.

I don't mind the remix, though it's not really my type.

Jumping on the bandwagon, that's all. House artists have been heavily remixing 80's tracks for the past two years.

I, personally, love 80's remixes. I wish there were more good ones though. And yeah... it's not like this is a new thing...

The Police - S.O.S (Sander Van Doorn Remix)

I like it.

i dont mind the 80's remixes. the best one ive heard this year is

echo and the bunnymen - lips like sugar (way out west remix)

some of them are just annoying especially if you dont like the original.
