Plugging
all the talented musicians 'round these parts actually.
But I am a cheap little tramp when it comes to anyone letting me do a remix for them. Why not.....it's fun!
And as far as this Fake Blood mix goes, I dislike it because it's so exceedingly average and generic. Although "average" implies a higher level of quality than I hear in it. I'm fine with samples being used, old or new, as long as they're used in inventive and/or effective ways. This remix sounds like something that someone just sat down one afternoon and banged out for kicks, but put no real thought into. And to be totally fair, it sounds to me as if it was done by someone who's capable of much better, but who instead took a bunch of cheesy shortcuts and diced up vocals, slapped them together and called it a mix.
It reminds me of when I'm working on a track and am having trouble thinking of something good to do next with it, so I find some pre-made loop and drop it in as a cheap way out.....and inevitably, when I play it for my wife, she'll pinpoint that exact loop and say "that doesn't sound as good as what you usually do".
Yes it's subjective, but Underworld has always maintained a certain level of inventiveness and originality, and this remix displays neither. It sounds like something that should go on one of those "club hits 2008" type of CD compilations that are jam-packed with mediocre, soulless, filler music.
