June 23, 201312 yr Oh the Tori Amos one was a tune. A personal favourite of mine from the 90's dance era.
June 23, 201312 yr 1998- Run DMC Vs Jason Nevins- It's Like That 1999- King Of My Castle- Wamdue Project
June 23, 201312 yr 1999- King Of My Castle- Wamdue Project Yeah, Roy Malone remixed the original 1997 slow version.
June 23, 201312 yr The Freemasons version of Kelly Rowland's Work is the most well known one, isn't it? (not number one, but it did get to the top five)
June 23, 201312 yr The Freemasons version of Kelly Rowland's Work is the most well known one, isn't it? (not number one, but it did get to the top five) Yeah, I'd say so. The Freemasons remix of Green Light by Beyonce as well got loads of airplay.
June 23, 201312 yr ATB's '9pm (Til I Come)' used the Sequential One remix here. Music channels keep playing the wrong version <_<
June 23, 201312 yr Not quite the same but 19 (Paul Hardcastle) and two of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's number ones (Relax and Two Tribes) all had a prolonged run at the top thanks in part to a string of remixes.
June 24, 201312 yr Spacedust 'Gym & Tonic' is a tenuous one... it was a soundalike cover of the Thomas Bangalter remix of Bob Sinclar's 'Gym Tonic'. The Shamen's 'Ebeneezer Goode' was released in remixed form as a single, I think it was by The Beatmasters.
June 24, 201312 yr Are we just including songs that had originally been released as a single? If so - then why include Professional Widow? If not - then Mel C's I Turn to You.
June 24, 201312 yr Going back many years the single release of Blondie's Heart Of Glass was an extended version of the album track
June 24, 201312 yr The Freemasons version of Kelly Rowland's Work is the most well known one, isn't it? (not number one, but it did get to the top five) Was just about to say this, the original version of 'Work' is so limp that I doubt it'd of been a hit without the Freemasons' help!
June 24, 201312 yr Was just about to say this, the original version of 'Work' is so limp that I doubt it'd of been a hit without the Freemasons' help! The Freemasons definitely improved the song. I was talking about it before, but you could mistake it for a Panjabi MC song. :lol: And their remix was good since it had loads going on. Their remix of Mama Do the Hump is another one where I think they improved it. But with some of their other remixes, they remove everything interesting about the song. Like in the Green Light, the original has a really energetic and loud chorus, but their remix of it was just a bit boring. Same with Beautiful Liar, it's really exotic sounding and gets people's hips moving, but the remix was all airy, not very bouncy (if that makes sense).
June 25, 201312 yr I liked them fairly evenly, the original was far more interesting. But I love an energetic track that I can dance to, so the Freemasons' mix was also fantastic. The was definitely a reason why the Freemasons' remixes got so much airplay around 2007/2008!
June 25, 201312 yr Part of the problem with Freemasons remixes is that they're all very similar. But that was presumably a selling point to radio as well. BTW, the original of 'Professional Widow' was released as a single in America. It must have been a deliberate decision to release the remix as the A-side over here.
June 25, 201312 yr It definitely was, primarily as the original version didn't feature on the UK single at all! The remix originally featured as a b-side to the Hey Jupiter single (or AA?), hence why that track stuck around for longer than most Tori songs. i.e. more than one week!
June 25, 201312 yr Does A Little Less Conversation by Elvis not count it was one of 2002s biggest hits?
