Fooooooooooooooooooookin hell I've been after this remix for ages! I never realise it was this version I've been after nooooooooooooo!

Oakie played this at the end of his live from cream november 97 essential Mix hour! I thought the version he played was an unreleased Perfecto remix, hence I was so dissapointed with the Perfecto remix that was released I thought this version never came out

Damn If I'dve realised years ago :lol:

So Thanks and also damn you!!

I remember being in a HMV when Tranceformer had come out, they were playing it there, I dont recall hearing Mansun though while I was in there

Nice one Jason, it's a great feeling finally getting a tune isn't and well done to N2F for pointing that one out :)

To come back to the topic of this thread. Yes, what a tune indeed! Jules even Tried N Tested this tune himself on his show a few years back and he put it: "I have to say this with a bit of smoke on my face!".

Initially and TBH, I was a massive fan of the original mix of this tune, but it doesn't really fit a set when playing out. Maybe you can get away with it on a CD like Jules did for Clubbed 2002, but this remix really makes it into a corker of a tune!

Green Martians remix of Murto was atrocious IMO! It was a blatant rip off of this remix of the Oboe Song and doesn't compare to the original IMO!

All great tunes mentioned above - O Memory! :)

Anyone like the Greg Downey Remix of Mansun, Hopefully through all the legal loop holes it will get an official release pretty soon.

When I asked Greg about it last year, he said that the label wanted to release it, but the band weren't being very co-operative - so it was 50/50.

The latest rumour i've heard though is that there's a "Perfecto remixed" bundle coming out later this year - and its supposed to feature Paul Oakenfolds latest remix of Southern Sun and Downey's mix of Wide Open Space.

Not too sure how true that is though. I'll email Greg and see what I can find out for definate :D
