I think I see what you're getting at BSS...

There absolutely has (in this day and age) been a glut of too many remixes of tracks, where QUANTITY outweighs QUALITY

having said that - there are some bands that seem to still overtly try to 'seek out' certain producers who can/will remix tracks to a level that are "at least as good" / "better" than the original... Depeche Mode springs to mind for example.

on the flip side - UNKLE (in recent years) seem to just try to get as many remixes as possible out of a single track (and most of them are crap)

what's so disappointing about the remixes off of the "Barking" tracks - is that:

A) We KNOW that there are unreleased tracks from the album, or at least songs from sessions that led up to the album.

B) I always thought the point of "Barking" was that it was supposed to be a 'dialogue' between UW and the other producers, where UW would give a track to someone, they'd give it back, and then UW would do "a version of their version" (which I don't really think happened)

C) Actually decent remixes of the "Barking" singles have been few and far between... Like SBTRKT's "Bird1" Breakage's "Always Loved a Film" ... but beyond that... not so much...
