This is the one titled "Klaxon Handclap Cheapster Mix", right?

As they say, it barely resembles the original. Drones out like an endless buildup. At least it's interesting.

As annoying as Mr. Plant's "normal" remix (cf. above), albeit in an infinitesimally different way.
This one has a big advantage: It's shorter than the original.

Handclap time again. Unbearable on first listen. Now, comparing it to the alternatives, it's comparatively enjoyable as well as more appealing than the original.

Where do I buy the single?

Evan? Is that you?

Another remix, probably on the single:

Diamond Jigsaw (Wagon Cookin Remix)

[Dirty0900]

Can we have the UW bootleg synth version that was played before the release of Barking?

Or a b-side.

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...

I fell in love with DiaJig (my nickname for it) with this video, i love the vibe of it:

I think the closest thing released so far is the demo.

On other fantasies: I think they should beg Steve Reich to do a remix of DiaJig... I think it would be brilliant to hear a pulsed out version, but don't get me wrong they really should release vanhalenvanhalen version(synth version)

Wagon Cooking mix starts off good but then when the disco shit starts up its really terrible and my brain recoils in horror.

Jacob Plant version is super duper horrible, made even worse by his Soundcloud comments on every single user's comment in the track along the lines of...."Great bass!" <-- "Glad you like it, more like this on the way! :-) "

Amazon has a 3-track digital single with a new mix: James Dean Bradfield / Loz Williams Remix. More rocky, big beat mix.

Longer sample of JDB Loz Williams mix here:

I want to like this, because I love Manics, but it just ain't working for me...

wait? so that thing on amazon is the exact single??? If so, its kinda a crappy in my opinion. I the remixes are a bit mediocre, and i was hoping for that demo or more interesting stuff...
