Hey.
lately i noticed that a lot of remixes to old/new tunes are being done.
this thing wasnt here last say few years ago , now many many remixes are being done.
what do you think of it?
maybe the ideas to new tracks are over?
maybe its another step in the commercializim that the psy trance is going thruo who knows.
tell me what you think.

i think it is just a fad to be honest.. the odd remix to an old tune here and there is quite cool but if everyone starts to do it it will become tired very quickly

Traveller> it's two defferent subjects. The first one is about "remixes of goa classics", and this topic is about remixes in general.
Anyway, to answer the question - Remixes sell better. How is that? Simple:
You have a new track called "Astrix - Masrsh Mellow". But then, you have a new & slightly different version called "Astrix - Marsh Mellow [Sesto Sento Remix]. Now that sounds gooood. Wow, Astrix track remixed by sesto's, can't wait to hear it! must be Killer!!! i'll put it in my top 10 without even listening to it!!!!!
So, in a sad & twisted way, many remixes today are nothing more than a marketing strategy... [well, who can blame them when nobody buys music...]

I think you shouldn't be as half as pissed about remixes as for example House or Techno Listeners. In those genres the remixes are very common thing. You can check out for example Faithless discography and easily find over 20!!! remixes to such classic tunes as "Insomnia" and "Salva Mea", which is not necessarily bad thing. "Salva Mea (Way out west remix)" and "Salva Mea (Floating remix)" are very very different and amazing in their own way.

i agree with ya.
some remixes are better then the original...
so you cant say that the "ideas" are over... its just based on another ideas...
more ideas... more music... more good healthy Trance. |

i think this is what the new millenium is all about using "recycling" music. music (for me at least) is a form of art, and i think art is about being original and creative not taking the creation of someone else change the bassline change 2 sample and sell it. dont get me wrong theres lots of good remixes but i enjoy original music better.
u can see that the pop music world is suffring from lake of original tunes for exemple if u will turn on MTV u can see 2 new songs using the music of sting-shape of my heart and many more.
if an arist is remixing someone elses music @least do something that sound diffrent from the original use your own style and take the music to another direction then the original. |

commercializim !
thats it ...
although some times , some artists want to advance and check their abilities in compairing their own style to other artists style in a certain track.
or...the specific artist just want that a track he really liked will be in hes sound and favourite concept composition
and he changes the specific track to an edit that contains stuff and sounds that the same artist want it to be heard with.
this phenomenon called...Remix.  |

many of the stuff said above are true but Munchie's opinion is similar to mine...
anyhow sometimes its cool to hear a rmx to a tune , but i think its because of the recycling of music and the lost of ideas for new tracks but still there are many excpetions , like traveller gave here , but you gotta agree that remixes sells and that's a fact.
so to sum things up like the famous songs goes.. its all about the money $$$.

it's like any other track in our scene.
if it is made profesionally and has time and love put into it, it will be good... even great.
if it will be made quickly just to release, it would be just another track. but it will be sold, because of the "name".

Regardless of whether it is "commercial" or not, I for one dig hearing remixes of a good track. It allows another artist to give their interpretation of somebody else's creation. Sometimes they put a new spin on it and it is excellent, sometimes it sucks....sort of like new tracks. Remixes also give an artist a chance to update their own track several years later.
It is also sort of cool to have 2 versions of a track for various occasions on the dancefloor. I have heard some full on nighttime tracks and thought that elements could be done really well in a more housey or prog track more fit for the morning.
A truly great track usually has more to it than is just limited to a single interpretation.....
