thirddrive Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Ok, so it sounds a little cheesy. Download it from the jj.net board though, and I swear you will be humming it all afternoon. In fairness, it took me a while to warm to Karl G's Coldplay remix too, and that doesn't stop it being an essential track now 8) Any other thoughts about it?

Neuro Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I never heard the original from which it's sampled... I'm afraid I'm not really one for blaring melodic trancers as you know, prefer the more subtle approach in tracks personally! Hence as you say I still find Karl G's coldplay remix only just about gets away with it :wink: Having said that Choc Boy or whatever he's called has had a good stab at this version, and I'm not surprised that Jules played it to be honest - he has an eye for these things if they have even a whiff of something catchy about them, and as far back as I can remember he's always keen to nab them first!

JasonB Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Downloaded it last night given it a listen and yeah considering I used to and still do play vengaboys stuff albeit decent remixes by transa et al now, I wouldnt play this!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dormouse Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 It wasn't just me then. I have played both this guys house remixes on my show before, but his venture into trance doesn't do it for me. The original is Mark Knopfler 'Local Hero' which I love - great guitar work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirddrive Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 I think i'd only really play it in a quick burst, mix out of the first breakdown. Prolonged listening causes it to sound like a slab of edam is rotating on your slipmatts (or in your CD player). 8) Yet I still hum it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Whihs I'dve been quicker and got hold of his other two efforts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirddrive Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 With a bit o editing on the fly using the CD deck, it actually works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 haha, christian ure really goin to extra lengths to make this tune sound better - i think you secretly in love with it!! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirddrive Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Lol, i think I am. it's one of those love/hate things I reckon. Even made a little 3 track mix with it in the beginning, seeing how it would work. Edited out all the crap in the middle, linking the 2 breakdowns. Mixed out of the now one extended breakdown into Ratty's 'Sunrise'. And it sounds ok I'm obsessed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 oooo -love that tune!!! u'll have to post a mix up with that superman tune in and we'll decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted June 20, 2005 Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Edited out all the crap in the middle, linking the 2 breakdowns. I can see exactly how that would work actually, because the breakdowns are quite good esp without the 'rawness' of the main theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirddrive Posted June 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2005 Yeah, that was my reasoning. I'll try and edit it properly tomorrow, is there any freeware people recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 I'm still undecided yet. What is good, is the amount of support Jules is giving these tunes lately. What with Twist You Much, Karl G's Speed of Sound mix, and now Jason Still's efforts, Jules is really giving the help these relatively new boys a helping hand in life. Good luck to one and all 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thirddrive Posted June 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 yeh, I agree Steve! Ok, so I dl'ed some free editing software and gave it a little go. not a lot has changed, except the large chunk in the middle, hahah. Added a bit of flanging for good measure too. it's my first attempt at any sort of production, but I think it's passable (Although, there is a weird flaw at about 3m30sec that I don't know how it got there or how to get rid of it). Could I upload it somewhere, Tim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Yep, email it to me and I'll do it and give you the link - remember I'm away from Friday so no uploads until OCTOBER after then... :?
