Being Boring (Marshall Jefferson 12" Mix)

#1 Post by ultraplus »

Anyone else heard this?
I assume it's not official? I quite like the low-key
house flavour.

It is official, assuming this is the same 9:03 mix credited to Marshall Jefferson on the Euro "Being Remixed" CD and the U.S. "How can you expect to be taken seriously?" CD.

And it is indeed a very good mix.

No, dear, you're not bad -- just a smidge un-informed. But, really, this can be said about most everyone, at one timne or another. I recall hearing Disappointed for the first time & calling the radio station to ask if it was a new PSB song. Luckily, the DJ didn't snicker at my ignorance. Instead, he educared me. So, don't fell bad ..

As for the MJ mix-- I quite like it.

...but the crown jewels on Being Remixed is of course the two mixes of We all feel better in the dark, especially the After Hours Climax mix

It's the remix 12". Sometimes I really like this mix, other times I think it's a bit dull.

Some tunes shouldnt be f*** about with. Being Boring is one of them and in my view, its a poor remix.

Im not gonna argue with the pair of you, the MJ remix of BB just doesnt do anything for me and I hate the way it just fades out. Its as if it isnt finished.

Of the Behaviour tracks/mixes, Ive always loved the KLF mix of So Hard.

I agree with OFTC on both those points!

But personally, i love both the extended and 12" versions (if i remember correctly.. one with the ending stuck at the beginning..)

I thought it was PSB too at first, although I didn't ring a radio station to ask. ;)

I love this mix, really great. Though I love every mix and all the versions of 'Being boring'. It's such a great song that it's difficult to spoil it :)
