Chrissie Brown Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 I love this tune, it is one of my favourites and l asked Jules if he would play this in the Back Room @ Eden in Ibiza but he didn't have it with him. He mentioned that there were several remixes being done of this tune and that he was looking forward to hearing them. I doubt any mix could beat the original but l'm up for listening to the new mixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aza Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Starfighter Remix all the way for me - although the original is also a beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I very much doubt any remix of this could ever top the original for me as it's one of my all time favourite tunes Jules has ever made or played! However I'd be interested in hearing the new mixes and if either turns out to be a belter then I'd eat my hat if I had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonman Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 yet ANOTHER millennium classic gets butchered. TBH i wasn't abig fan of Caned & Unable, i always prefered Voices. This effort isn't all that. The original is nagging that rolls, this doesn't and i feel misses the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uberduck Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16ThTda2i5E Not a touch on the original but I'd play it. The classics are always going to be rinsed and reused because the remixer already stands half a chance of a decent sell based on it's past history. Not saying I agree with it but from a producers point of view I see their intention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissie Brown Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 I don't like this mix, hopefully Will's mix will be better :thumbsdown: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardaway Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Mentioned this in another thread, Ben Nicky has remixed this too! I've heard a early clip of this, and it was pretty good then so the finished arcticle might be a MONSTER TUNE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briggsy Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 The classics are always going to be rinsed and reused because the remixer already stands half a chance of a decent sell based on it's past history. Not saying I agree with it but from a producers point of view I see their intention. I don't think they all have that intention though. I think some simply like an old tune and want to 'bring it back to life'. So many old tunes never get played now - yet when they're remixed, people moan. I don't mind any old tune being remixed - just as long as its done well and doesn't ruin a tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted November 16, 2009 Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 This is true. I would rather hear a good remix of a classic that a poor bootleg sampling a classic. If it's been done properly with official remix parts and the production is good I generally dont mind. I just think with this tune being so big for me the first time around, hearing new versions being played now will probably just make me want to dig the original out instead. It's a timeless tune really - you could easily just mix in the original to a modern set and it wouldn't sound out of place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Callaghan Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I really like the original of this track also....the bassline makes it for me. But Will IMO has done a really good job on making a tech-trance take on it & I'll definately be supporting it. Mark Sherry has been given Will's remix big support and you can hear it on this clip (First track on the mix). http://www.marksherry.co.uk/mark/mark_sherry_atomik_weekender_2_goodgreef_stage_nov_2009.mp3 Judge for yourself.

Chrissie Brown Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Didn't like any of the remixes, not even Will's, the original one is my fav. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I actually quite like Will's because it kinda just samples the main riff and leaves it as it was... ie no added effects - it has the same sound. He has then created a pretty much brand new tech trance tune and just inserted the sample in the breakdown which works for me. I'd play this. If it had tried to use any of the other parts like re-working the bassline into the track or anything more I dont think I would like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really enjoyed Will's remix also, but Voices is my favourite track from the Hi-Gate era. My second favourite Jules production is Showtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremor Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 He had so many big tunes back then. Voices is also a beast but over time the vocal can get a little irritating so overall its Caned & Unable for me the best Hi-gate production I reckon. I also love D-Tune (Earplugs) and remember waiting about a year after I first heard it before Jules finally released the limited edition press on Incentive. Best VPL production for me is T Break. Other wicked tunes include Floorgasm - Have a Nice Day and The Clergy - Saints and Sinners which was far better than the Oboe Song! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, i'd say "Gonna Work It Out" was my favourite, followed by Pitchin', and then D-Tune, then Caned n Unable. The rest were fairly average I though. Under VPL, it was all about T-Break - but to be honest, it was all about the Steve Murano remix. The original was nothing special. The Clergy - well, again, The Oboe Song was the best - but it was all about the Green Martian remix. The original was week. I loved 'Saints & Sinners' though. I've got all the other Closet released stuff such as Have a Nice Day, etc - but they're not that good. I'd never play them again anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
