I just hope you're joking

I listened to this remix and while it's not the worst piece of music I've ever heard, I would not call it a good remix.
BLD, yes hypothetically he could have made all the sounds from underworld source material, but you know as well as I do that that is highly unlikely. It seems more likely that it really is pretty much just the vocal sample that got used.
The track itself has some good bits but ultimately (imo) it's nothing more than a run-of-the-mill house track with an underworld sample in it.

to suggest that the only reason someone likes it is because it has an Underworld sample in it is insulting the intelligence of the people who do like it.

[devil's advocate]
not sure how that is different from suggesting that if you don't like the track, you probably have preconceived hatred for the dj etc...

If this is a leaked track and not meant for release, I'd have serious second thoughts about giving it an official release. I think the reason why this remix is getting singled out is because Ring Road is one of the most interesting and different tracks that Underworld have ever released. It has so many great little loops and layers and the vocals are like nothing before. So, to hear it used this way is such a disappointment. Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh. Maybe I need to go through the other remixes to give this some perspective. But whatever, I don't think it will make me like this remix any more than I do now.

i think it must be a dutch thing going on here,whats laidback done to you?

[cacophony]

why does it have to be a personal thing against LL? maybe tastes are different from person to person. it's okay not to like stuff, you know.

how much expierence of the dutch do you have? are you aware of the tribal lines the country is divided by and the conflict that rages in the land of orange?

That's what i've been saying, too!

-1 raises a good point that UW's glory days of remixing other artists did radically change the songs ( Chems' "Leave Home" both mixes come to mind). I missed that irony as i'm predisposed to love UW!

what on god's green earth does that have to do with anything? specifically, and in particular, ring road?

if you want to get all creepy and nationalistic, take it to the world forum, bub.

Preconceived hatred of LL was expressed in this thread quite early on, which is why I referred to it specifically. And I didn't say that if you didn't like it, it was because you had a preconceived hatred. That is the wrong way round. I suggested that if you DO have a preconceived hatred for LL, you prolly won't like the track.

You stick to your day job (which you do so well, I might add) and I'll stick to mine...

I don't think its anything against him in particular. If I'd have come across it without a name then i would have been equally unimpressed. I am surprised about the level of hostility towards it but I suppose that we here at the dirty forums have pretty high standards when it comes to our favourite band.
