Minimal (Tiga remix)

#1 Post by ! »

Has this leaked yet?

At first I thought people just had a promo or something with it on but it seems more and more people are hearing it, and on the guy (Wayne?) who does the charts' website is the time (4:47). I can't find it on e-mule or any other site, so I don't think it has leaked yet!

Also, for the those who ]have heard it, what's it like? I'm not that keen on Tiga to be honest, I like a few of his tracks, mixes and the one on Richard X's album but his own album, IMO, sounds boring :boo:

The remix which lasts 4:47 is the Lobe Remix, I think. According to other forum posters, Tiga's remix lasts about 5:30 or something.

I dont know who is the big names when it comes to remixing, but as a guy who has heard some awesome PSB remixes in his time, I am amazed at how uninteresting the fundamentalism remixes are.well at least for me.

oddly though, I was listening to "I made my excuses" and sometimes listening to the drums and the phrasing,it feels like if the song was longer and sped up alot faster it would suit itself to a sort of upbeat hip hop shuffling drum style remix or song. but I still love the quality of it as is.

Tiga's Minimal remix isn't good, its a shame as I really like Tiga, his album Sexor has some good tracks on. It's also a shame as I think he did a good job remixing Suffer Well for Depeche Mode :? The Minimal remix sorta sounds like he re-used some stuff from a track off his Sexor album called "Burning Down the House" which is a cover :roll:

The Tiga remix of Minimal easily qualifies as one of the worst remixes of a PSB track. Even Westbam's comatic take on London is pure bliss in comparison.

PSB were right to remove Tiga's remix from Fundamentalism, and to replace it with the other Minimal remix (which is pretty nice). All other remixes on that disc are very good. Especially Alter Ego's version of Psychological, which is actually better than the album version. The Sodom remix by Trentemoller is also fantastic.
