Forum Overview :: No Stairway to Heaven :: Shit remix.

[quote name="Fullofkittens"]I started <a href="http://64.7.198.183/music/sleep-remix.mp3">this remix</a> of my friend Craig's band Canine Sugar's song "I Don't Wanna Go To Sleep" about a month ago, after hearing Fatboy Slim's great 7-minute dance mix of "Brimful of Asha". Since then, two things have happened. The first is that I spent too much time on it, and lost my place, so to speak. The second is that I've heard/seen the light of hearing some electronic artists (Manitoba, Four Tet) whose music I actually love, which completely shifted my paradigm, and if I were starting this remix now, I would never go the same direction with it. So, the end result of that is that I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing on this remix, and I'm shitcanning it. But, since I spent so goddamn long on it (note: though it sounds pretty straightforward, this version of the song sounds almost nothing like the original) <a href="http://64.7.198.183/music/sleep-remix.mp3">here it is</a> (again) for your listening pleasure, up until the point where it dies out. After all that work I can't stomach the idea of not showing it to <i>anybody</i>. It seems to me that a good remix mixes the best qualities of the original song with the best qualities of the remixer. That's not true in this case - I, using powerful digital tools, seem to have surgically removed everything I liked about the original song. Yarg. FoK[/quote]
