Well I haven't heard the Laidback Luke remix, but if this one is better, then I really don't think I need to hear it. I know it comes down to personal taste, but for me, this "Fake Blood" remix is crap whoever did it. And I just don't personally consider crap to be "fun".
I used to be excited about new remixes of Underworld tracks, and I'd run right out and buy them. Now I couldn't really care less about most of them. Although Pig & Dan #3 of Play Pig was indeed a gem among petrified shit-nuggets.
And I've read all the debating here and in other threads about who these remixes are targeted at, who's using whom to help sell records, or how it's just a different style - but what it really comes down to for me is that whatever the circumstances, they should just be
good mixes for crying out loud. It's a freakin' insult to those of us out here trying to get our feet in the door of the music industry by doing good work when someone with a "name" can churn out crap and get it widely distributed under the guise of being "fun" or whatever else.
Which leads me to my final point - if they're having so much trouble finding anyone to do a decent mix, then freakin' hire me and/or some of the other talented musicians/producers here on the forums. We'll gladly take a stab at it, and we certainly couldn't do any worse than the junk we've been hearing. Plus, we'd be cheap.
