The Hidden Cameras - Colour Of A Man (Pet Shop Boys Organic Mix)

#1 Post by DJ Fairborne »

I was listening to my iPod earlier & had it on random (as you do etc). Then this came on & I've not heard it for a while, but I have to say it's really good! It's a shame it's never had a 'proper' release, just like their remixes of "Kids" by MGMT, which were also quite good IIRC.

I don't know the original version by The Hidden Cameras, but this PSB remix is great, the music/beat is good & I like the "ooh-ooh" bits towards the end. Does anybody else like this remix too?...

totally amazing, just so warm, rich and content somehow

this and Kids are their finest remixes. Kids in particular

The singer from Hidden cameras did backing vocals on In his imagination as well of course. Ans their album (Origin...) from which Colour of a man comes is an excellent LP
in suits or sequins/or twin sets and pearls

I always love their remixes, and this is no exception. (I love Disco 4 btw. I also think Hallo Spaceboy is one of the best things they've done)

I love this remix. Lovely warm and mellow sound. Shame Disco 4 was remixes of other artists as they're a bit stuck if they ever want to release another such compilation. ..Disco 4.1? Disco 4 1/2? Disco 4 II?

I hadn't heard this one.

Here's the original for comparison:


and the remix:


I like it but I'd say it's a bit forgettable.

Debbie Downer here - I find it to be a bit of a snorefest.

Puts me in mind of Stop Modernists Subculture sonically, which whilst it's nice with Chris' vocals, also doesn't really go anywhere either. Nice to chill out to as background music or hangout with a glass or two of wine maybe.

Greetings,

I agree with Gabby. It's repetitive, boring and highly forgettable.

I was originally thinking to buy a FLAC download of this mix, when I heard news of the new release, but the free 320kbps Soundcloud download link above from The Hidden Camera's own account will do me.

Retro. :)
