Always Loved A Film

[philth]

I've had a chance to listen to all the remixes a good few times now and much as it pains me to say it I don't really like any of them save for the extended mix by UW themselves.

I've been a DJ for 15 years now and remixes are my stock in trade, and usually I can find a place for different mixes in different sets, but these are just bland in different ways.

The Breakage remix is functional dubstep. It sounds quite nice but does nothing really.

The Michael Woods versions are souped up for the big clubs with big building synths only to kick into a stripped down tech beat. It's a bit like crossing Jacques Lu Cont remixes with minimal! They will work for the crowd they're aimed at but I can't see myself playing them.

The Solo remix is trying to be in the Duck Sauce / Fake Blood style but lacks any of the hooks associated with those acts. Again it just feels functional.

I have to say the original has grown on me. I thought it was too polished the first few times I heard it, especially after being used to the Brixton versions, but it's clearly got radio play in its sights, and it deserves to get it.

Still, can't wait to hear the version on CD 2.
