(image by Kenny Scharf)yay. i have found time on the weekend to post...anyhoo the theme for this post are remixes, edits, covers etc of old tunes. Everyone has there personal favourites and although i will never state a cover better then the original as its still after all a cover they are sometimes dang gooood.
The first is a cover (with some lyric changes) of the classic Golden Brown by The Stranglers which in itself it a cranking tune. You may have heard this song in the film 'Snatch' which is also a cracker of a movie like all Guy Richie films it has a great soundtrack. This song was quite highly placed in JJJ's Hottest 100 of all time and if my memory serves me well (rarely does it) it may have made it into the top ten. The cover of this track is by Frankmusik who i did an earlier post about ....i think. You will notice he changed the lyrics to When You're Around but still the same melody etc. So this is Boys Noize remix of his cover. You decide.
Golden Brown - The Stranglers
When You're Around (Boys Noize Remix) - Frankmusik
Secondly. One of my all time favourite old-school tunes that had a moment with Arty Ziff on the Simpsons is Sweet Dreams. The synth line is classic as is the whole tune....cheers Eurythmics. So a couple of Edits of this one the first is from ChewFu and with some new beats and Diplo-like dropping of a rap-appella really makes it a wicked tune. The other is from a man who the scene knows to well Erol Alkan...his stuff is good i just think he rekons he is too good and in some spots ruins the vocal romance....o well its your call enjoy.
Sweet Dreams (ChewFu Remix) - Eurythmics
