U-U-U-Utah Saints vs the nu-rave remixers

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

There is a remix of 'Something Good' over at Popjustice.

Hurrah for nu-rave bandwagon inspiring people to do stuff like this :)

Except this is a bit rubbish :(

It takes far too long to get going and doesn't improve on the original. As far as I can tell the additions include some 'piaow' noises and a continuous drumbeat throughout. Is there any point in remixing something where the original, recognizeable bits are clearly the best?

Once again this is a case of good idea, poor execution. What they SHOULD have done was stick to the iron laws of bosh remixing: a) speed it up b) add some totally unrelated synth melody c) have some Dutch dude rapping "I cannot believe this is hardcore!" or similar during the middle eight.

Sadly this is just Part #2936 of Kat's Ongoing Disappointment With Nu-Rave.

Without clicking (as I have to get ready to go out) is this the Van She doodah? Cos I saw this and thought THAT MUST BE THE BEST THING EVER

Boo if it's not :(

Tho their remix of Gravity's Rainbow by the Klaxons is the most awesome thing EVAR.

It is the VanShe.

It's by no means a terrible audio punishment to listen to, but it's just really uninteresting. Why did they bother?

Seeing as this was the first CD I ever bought to christen my spanking new CD player and therefore has sentimental value, I would have expected something more. Tis too slow and has lost its punch.
