  Beyonce-Greenlight (Freemasons mix)
  Beyonce and Shakira -Beautiful Liar (Freemasons Mix)
  
  Freemasons worked wonders on a few other Beyonce Tracks, but I can't decide if I prefer the originals or the remix lol

  Brimful Of Asha by Cornershop is the most dismal, dronelike tune you could ever wish to hear. Thankfully Fatboy Slim got hold of it and turned it into a superb single which hit no.1 if I recall correctly.

  The Freemasons remixes to Beyonce's Green Light & Beautiful Liar, Kelly Rowland - Work (Freemasons Remix), Pixie Lott - Mama Do (Remix) its the version that's been played on MTV Dance and The Saturdays - Work (Cahill Radio Edit) ...the version they put out to work wasn't that good, the remix gave the song the umph it needed! xo

  Their remixes walk all over the original.
  
  The Beautiful Liar remix is immense.

  I agree with the Beyonce/Kelly Rowland remixes already mentioned, and I also love the Freemasons remixes of I Decided by Solange and Ring The Alarm by Beyonce.
  
  They're about the only remixes I prefer to the original versions - I usually hate remixes.

  i have to agree a good example of a poor tune before a remix
  
  david morales mix of jamiroquai's space cowboy was miles better than the original it was so slow and boring
  
  another good one
  
  deep dish remix delacy hideaway and todd terry's remix of everything but the girls missing

  I got Passion Pit - To Kingdom Come (Artwork remix) free on the NME Daily Download the other day and it's amazing, i love the original but i think this may even be better.
  
  The Twelves mixes are all pretty good, esp the Black Kids 'not gonna teach....' one
  
  the Blunt Laser remix of Izzi Dunn 'Tits & Ass' is being given away on various blogs, that's pretty cool

  The Above & Beyond mix of Madonnas 'What it feels like for a girl'.
  
  I can't stand the album version - one of the very few M songs i don't like, but this remix is brilliant.

  Looking through all my commerical and non-commerical pop and dance tracks - about 80% of them are remixes as opposed to the originals. I suppose i prefer artists re-interpretations of original ideas.

  Whilst I do love the original, especially when laying around being 'moody' in a darkened room, the radio/dance remix of Dubstar's Stars clinches it as to which version I always prefer to hear blasting out loud:

  I loved most of that Motiv-8 sound that was prevalent for a few years in the mid-late 90s, just makes me think of good simple fun nights out.

  Loaded- Primal Scream
  Only love can break your heart- Saint Etienne
  Soon - My Bloody Valentine
  Come Home- James
  Weekender- Flowered Up
  To name a few.

  +1 for Weatherall - past and present - and Thin White Duke (aka Stuart Price who's produced Madonna, The Killers etc dontcha know)
  
  Also consistently producing good work remix-wise in 2009 are -
  Aeroplane
  GRUM
  Holy Ghost
  Fred Falke
  Lifelike
  
  Can't think of any I've heard recently that are better than the original other than maybe Holy Ghost's revamp of Phoenix's Lisztomania.

  A remix of Bill Withers' Lovely Day was released in 1988 which I prefer to the original.

  I love Alejandro (Sound of Arrows remix) So much better than the original... and also Alphabeats remix of Telephone. While I'm here I might as well also mention Do you want the truth or something beautiful (Beautiful widower remix) also fantastic!
