Rank 1 - It's Up to You mixes -> based on Symsonic Dumonde remix (which was originally instrumental, later had the vocals added)
Moonman - Galaxia - remixes(including Ferry's own remake) are based on the Solar Stone mix
A remixology of Ayla - Ayla
Taucher remix->Veracocha and Tandu remixes
Tandu remix->Space Brothers vs Sacha Collision and Kosmonova remixes, therefore these are remixes of a remix of a remix!

Mixes that sound nothing like the original
Alice Deejay - The lonely one(Airscape remix). Maybe it should be considered a separate song(ala Born Slippy and .nuxx) since the original was also (co)produced by Svenson and Gielen(Airscape). I once heard the two mixes mixed together as a medley of sorts.
Tiesto - Sparkles(transa remix)
Mauro Picotto - Komodo(Megamind mix), again maybe it should be a separate song.
Tiesto - Theme From Norefjell(DJ Jan and Christophe Chantzis mix). This version was later remade into "Coming Home", another remix of a remix.
VDM - Flowtation(Digital Blonde mix). Absolutely nothing left of the original. And don't get me started with BS/BS.nuxx again.

First which came in mind:
Art of Trance - Madagascar (Cygnus X Remix)
- The remix bares no resemblance to the original version whatsoever.. and yet all the other remixes are based on this remix instead of the acidic original.

- Except for the original set of remixes (DJ Errik, Qattara, Crimson Dawn) which can't be based on the Solar Stone remix because they came out 3 years before Solar Stone remix even existed.

quote:

A remixology of Ayla - Ayla Taucher remix->Veracocha and Tandu remixes Tandu remix->Space Brothers meet Sacha Collisson and Kosmonova remixes, therefore these are remixes of a remix of a remix!

- Mo & Skinny Hole In One Mix of Ayla is the only remix which resembles the original version even a bit, all the other remixes are indeed remixes of Taucher or Tandu mixes.
- To be exact, Kosmonova made a remake of Ayla (Tandu Remix) and that version was released as Kosmonova - Ayla with a bunch of remixes, and Taucher remixed the remake as well so basically at first Taucher did just a remix, and a year later they remixed a remake of a remix of their original remix.
- Taucher's remix of the Kosmonova version is at parts soundwise very similar to a track Waterloo on their album Return To Atlantis.

quote:

Mauro Picotto - Komodo(Megamind mix), again maybe it should be a separate song.

- Yeh that's more like an alternate version of Damon Wild - Aqua or vice versa than a remix of Komodo.
- Lots of Picotto tracks are like that tho, remixes are nothing like the original versions.
Alice Deejay - Celebrate Our Love (Solid Sessions Remix)
- Only thing from the original I notice is a tiny vocal loop, everything else is more of a reminiscence of Solid Sessions' Janeiro.
Vengaboys - Uncle John From Jamaica (M.I.K.E. Remix)
- Not his best remixes but a decent one anyway and also a highly unrecognizable for being a Vengaboys track apart from a lil vocal bit. There's also a M.I.K.E. instrumental which drops even that vocal bit.
Gouryella - Tenshi (Transa Remix)
- A great trancer but the melody takes a whole different route from the original.
Many of Van Bellen's remixes
- For example DJ Sakin & Friends - Protect Your Mind, Future Breeze - Mind In Motion which are pretty damn far in every way from the cheesy originals.
Scooter - I'm Raving (Taucher Remix)
- Taucher turned Scooter's awful version of Shut Up & Dance's Raving I'm Raving (which was a remake/cover already, of Marc Cohn - Walking In Memphis) into a great trancer.
Blank & Jones - Beyond Time (The Thrillseekers Remix)
- This could be a totally different track just like the tracks above, as only the vocals reveal this is a remix of Beyond Time, everything else is different.
Blank & Jones - The Nightfly (Transa Remix)
- The Scottish duo continue with their exploration of making differing remixes.... yet again only the vocals say what this is.
Blockster - Grooveline (Matt Darey Remix)
- Kinda lame "contestant" i guess as pretty much all trancers made from house tracks differ almost completely from the originals and this isn't an exception.

I'll think some more later if i haven't fallen asleep.

It is pretty much a given that any remix by Transa or remix of a vengaboys or other bubblegum song is going to be very different from the original.
I guess i was wrong. Maybe the Ferry Corsten remake of Galaxia is the only one that was based on the Solar stone version(other than the vocal version). Or was the Solar stone mix remixed from Quatara or one of the others?(making the remake a remake of a remix of a remix)

Some artist named Morgane made a cover of Cascada - Everytime we touch, which itself used the chorus from Maggie Reilly - Everytime we touch. Now that's a cover of a cover.
Here's a COVER OF A COVER OF A COVER. Obsession-Always On My mind was remade from Pet Shop Boys - Always on My Mind(same synth chords) which itself was a remake of Willie Nelson - Always on my Mind, which ITSELF was a remake of Elvis - Always on My Mind.

ian van dahl - i cant let you go (push vocalised remix)

fucking great remix by mike, turned a pure cheese dance track into a credible trance track imo

quote:

Mauro Picotto - Komodo(Megamind mix

Let's not forget that komodo is a cover of Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby, which in turn is an interpretation of a Solomon Islands folk song

I believe there was a Paul Oakenfold remix of the Tiesto remix of Delerium's Silence.

and a shitload of Signum's remixes sound nothing like their cheeeeeeesy counterparts

you sure about that? i think it's very clear that the digital blondes remix is a remix of the original. and it's digital blondes remix, not digital blonde remix. they used to be digital blondes when ricky smith worked with some other guy whose name i've forgotten. now that it's ricky only it's the digital blonde.
