Maybe it'll be part of the remix package.

Oh boy.... another likely-to-suck remix. I hope there's a PSB remix.

Radio Slave are normally pretty good, for all those who moan when remixes have little to do with the original rest assured RS normally use the vocal and many music parts

What style are they Flaffer?

Sorry guys, but I don't understand why people are always moaning about the work of djs/remixers. The remix is made to find new targets to whom propose the song if they are all the same style, does it worth to remix it? Why PSB should remix their own work, aren't they satisfied with what they made with it?
What's your opinion?
Cheers!

I mean, look at just two examples: Tori Amos' Professional Widow (the Armand Van Helden Remix) and Kylie's Love at the First Sight (The Scumfrogg Remix) they are quite different to the original versions but I also think they are masterpieces, two big hits in the clubs.
Ok, maybe it is just because I'm a house music fan!

Of course sometimes it works...there are little remix gems around, where the remix is "better" than the original. But if you like the original (as I, and many others here like Minimal) just a PSB extended will be a dream come true. And any other remix containing the vocals and music elements close to the original will be welcome...

difficult to pin down as their mixes, or as they are often called re-edits, frequently remain true )ish) to the originals. If you had to pin them down I'd say there were electro-y. Their mix I reckon wouldn't be out of place on Fundamentalism (not that I've heard it)

Yes, I agree with you Minimal its perfect that's why I think that sometimes longer doesn't mean better

I find interesting listen to what different minds could do with the same material, in different styles.

Here you can listen, just as reference, what Radio Slave did to King of the Mountain by Kate Bush. Not so different from the original but new. I quite like it!

I hope they don't do a remix! Their remix for I'm with Stupid was terrible (IMO).

If they want an extended mix it should be done by the producer or somebody else who worked on the record

Didn't like it though.
