Dancing Star CD single

#1 Post by Old Soak »

First play - wow, how bad are all those remixes? All totally overwhelm whatever is good about the original track. All about the DJ ego trip rather than the track. Very disappointing, hopefully that will abate a little after the shock has sunk in.

Haven't yet assimilated the bonus tracks.

Thanks Nickname. I didn't realise there were different remixes and b-sides on the CD single that warrants a new thread.

Sense of Time - CHOON! Nice adjunct to the sense of detachment from things found throughout Nevertheless, though stylistically rather more banging and lasers.

If Jesus Had a Sister - lovely changes of pace and another of Neil's fascinating dives into religious belief.

Didn't check, there was something about the digital release I remember, but I tend to stay away from those types of thread because a) one of life's little pleasures is the first spin of a new PSB disc, so don't wish to hear much about the tracks and b) digital is $h@t. Merge if required.

Superchumbo's take on Party in the Blitz might as well be the most dance floor suitable remix they've had done in the last 10 years.
Even with the lyrics.
I could easily hear it banging at an electronic music event.
And I mean one for connoisseurs, not the famous producer ones that usually headline festivals and don't know how to mix a beat and spend their whole time waving arms and playing with the same knob over and over. And not necessarily gay events.
