i thought the point was to do both jobs, remixes that are good interpretations of the original, that can stand on their own, but are also good enough to sell copies to a diverse audiences

who do you know who does 'quick buck' remixes?? tell us and we'll be sure to avoid them ;)

I'm not going to name 95% of remixes that have been done to this date ;)

Thats it I'm outa this thread :) hehe. My view re: remixes has been expressed and I'll leave it at that before it gets ugly and names are involved.

well the abysmal Ego Acid Remixes on Primate (the one with beyer etc) was an obvious milking of a done to death tune.
And it was a terrible release.
And the luke slater Horn Track thing, seemed like another Tim Taylor milking the dead cow release.

There are many more. Surely you folks know this?

although back on topic.
Remix rules?
There shouldn`t be any.
A remix should contain elements of the original. Otherwise it is a version, as they say.
