Ishkur's is good, but opinionated. You don't deserve my sig. |

Yes, but calling some genres shit just because he thinks so is, IMHO, dumb. With every release he's toned down his opinions, though. I forgot to mention: Pras - Haven't Found totally 0wns the original, U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, even though it's not a remix per se and falls a little out of the scope of this thread. Then again, this is the derail central. You don't deserve my sig. |

The are all crap, the recipe is: So my answer to your question is: none. Ha, and on that note, I recently discovered "Come Una Pietra Scalciata" by Articolo 31, which is a hip-hop version of Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone" in Spanish that samples the original. Sounds pretty cool/weird. -- |

Quote: I disagree. There are many good covers (which really is the same thing as a remix in my book).
In theory, yes. In practise, there is a slight difference (although with modern recording technology, it's more a marketing thing than a technical difference). A "remix" is (a part of) the original recording, with extra stuff added, while a "cover" features the original composition, but no original audio material. --- |

I like Nightwish's covers of Megade(a)th's Symphony of Destruction (I heard Nightwish's version first, and I have to say I like it better than the original), and Sonata Arctica's Over The Hills and Far Away (never heard the original so I can't compare). Other covers I like: Can't think of any others currently... -- |

All Mixed Up - The Cure An entire album of remixes by the Cure themselves, one of the rare times when remixes out-do the originals. |

Quote: A "remix" is (a part of) the original recording, with extra stuff added, while a "cover" features the original composition, but no original audio material. Not really. A remix is essentially just a song taken and done again in a different way. There doesn't have to be original audio present. Hell, you can even omit the vocal track if you want and replace it with a cow mooing the same melody, if you want. A remix can be a cover, or it can be the same track done differently by the original artist, or just one member of the whole group. It's definition is at best very ambiguous. You don't deserve my sig. |

Tobias is right. re·mix To recombine (audio tracks or channels from a recording) to produce a new or modified audio recording: remixed a popular ballad and turned it into a dance hit. Kitty Cat said: I like Nightwish's covers of Megade(a)th's Symphony of Destruction (I heard Nightwish's version first, and I have to say I like it better than the original), and Sonata Arctica's Over The Hills and Far Away
Sonata Arctica has done a version of Over the Hills and Far Away? Are you sure you're not just thinking of Nightwish again? -- |

Quote: To recombine (audio tracks or channels from a recording) to produce a new or modified audio recording: remixed a popular ballad and turned it into a dance hit. Don't you fellows realize that that definition is 25 years old and things have changed since then? Maybe back then it did only mean that. Since, the concept's gone broader. Just compare these three remixes of Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar: Cosmic Baby's First Impression (the other of the two "originals", there is no such thing as one single original version of Cafe Del mar)), Three'n'One remix and Hybrid's Time Traveller Remix. The only things common between those three are the melodies and chords. There's not one byte of audio preserved from the older tracks. They're entirely new versions, the underlying notes are however the same and identifyable. These days remixing is like making a cover with much creative freedom. One could say the term 'remix' has grown to include the term 'rearrange'. It's like telling someone else's story in your own words. Just because the word is (arguably) bastardized by expanding it to mean much more than what it did 25 years ago, doesn't mean thousands of producers should stop using the word, even if the new broader meaning is what it means to everyone. No, it's the definition of the word that has to expand to reflect the new meaning. It's one of those electronic music things. We have our own vocabulary for these things,you know? You don't deserve my sig. |

Hmm.. well, I did a quick Google and found references to 'Sonata Arctica - Over the Hills and Far Away (Nightwish cover)'. Looking at Wikipedia though, it appears Nightwish did a cover of the song after Gary Moore, and the version creditted to Sonata Arctica is actually done by Thyrfing. Oh, and another cover I like: Zeromancer - Send Me An Angel (originally by Real Life, I think). -- |

Here's some I can think of off the top of my head (although some may just be songs based off a sample, and not a proper remix) Kiss AMC - A Bit Of.. (remix of U2's New Year's Day) AE. -- |
