Remixes better than the original
There seems to be alot more remixed versions of songs that are better than the original. Below are a few examples.

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

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 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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VySsb...om=PL&index=94 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. |

My particular favourites were the Andrew Weatherall remixes of the late 80's, early 90's.
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. |

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!
