At least we got a new song remixed. That’s a positive.

Yeah, Where The City Meets The Sky is great. Adds much needed colour and vibrancy to some pretty dour recordings from Chasing Yesterday. The proper treatment in my opinion. There’s some great beats going on in Who Built The Moon, so many of those tracks would be ripe for a remix. I wouldn’t be too displeased at all to hear that... WHO BUILT THE MOON probably lends itself to remixing than either of Noel's previous albums. Noel should just issue a new remix of the entire album - perhaps with a couple of previously unreleased throwaway instrumental interludes that were no doubt recorded during the sessions. Perhaps a second CD that includes a straight instrumental mix of the original album and any previously released remixes. Package that double CD with a bonus DVD/BR that features the video clips and the (still unreleased) longer film that was being assembled. I'd much prefer something like that to these silly vinyl only releases with just one or two new tracks that I can't even play. Come on Noel - throw your starving fans a bone now and then. |

I’d completely forgotten about that! It’s listed as 2019 on IMDb so may come out yet. There’s a poster on there I’ve never seen before too. m.imdb.com/title/tt8932594/ Also a trailer here which I’ve never seen before. Only 113 plays, so don’t think we picked up on this when it was first uploaded by Mike Bruce 6 months ago?? X |

This was The Reflex reply to me a few months ago on Twitter: Notice he states “remixes” so possible he’s done more than one track. I’ve asked Richard Norris if his remix is on this release. If I get a reply I will put it up. Looking at Twitter it looks like we’re going to get that Richard Norris remix too. So that’s at least 3 remixes on this RSD release. Hopefully there’re more and it’s an EP/remix album again. Details released today right? X |

There’s something cheesy and tacky and cheap about every single video he’s done and this looks like it will continue the trend. X |

.... 20 fucking minutes of “Do ya wanna keep a secret?” laid over some boring ass trance beat What a waste.... I laughed  Those two songs are already repetitive enough, they already feel remixed. Maybe the remixer will actually trim down the repetitiveness ? The day Noel thought "what if i did remixes" what a sad day for bsides indeed. Well except for the To Be Where There's Life Richard Fearless remix. |

A lot of remixes are fucking amazing and take songs in imaginative and unexpected directions, which is why it staggers me that anyone who is supposedly passionate about music can get the chance of doing one and come up with the same "What if we loop the verse vocals over a dance beat for seven-and-a-half minutes?" nonsense for the fifth time that week.

Whatever you think of the NGHFB remixes you've got to respect the prestige of remixers Noel brings in.

It's not nonsense, it's 99% of NG remixes. Remixing is fun to do, but less fun to listen to. I've never really been impressed by that side of music. I'd rather have new music anytime of the day, i suppose, as a music enthusiast, you can respect that point of view. I respect the process, because it's real work (ive done some), but i'm not really interested in it. I'm almost never surprised, it's the same formula. No one ever remixed a NG track with say, just acoustic guitars (or if it has been done, i missed it than i apologize). Why remixes are always dance music, computer sound based ? The genre is kinda very close minded and stuck to the 80s, early 90s synths, why just why ? The kinda remixes i would want to hear would be if Noel handed all the tracks he's recorded for Who built the Moon and handed it over to another producer to create an alternate record. Now that would be interesting. I dont think he's ever done that. |

Whether you like remixes or not is besides the point.
The problem is Noel is being completely miserly with his bonus tracks right now.
He releases singles in multiple formats: different colours, limited colours, picture discs etc and uses the exact same bonus tracks across all of them, often using old already available tracks, thereby completely ripping fans off.
He could easily do a remix on one, a new song on another etc. Then everyone would be happy.

The big mooch ;-) X did he ? the AA made him re-record stuff entirely didn't they ? I'm talking no re-recording, just do wild stuff with tracks that have been recorded for the initial session. It's possible to do wild stuff with electric guitar. The Claypool Lennon delirium last record is just that. Whether you like remixes or not is besides the point.

X To me this is the real problem music is facing right now : milking hardcore fans with multiple editions and semi pointless remixes that cost nothing to produce, knowing they will buy anything as long as his name is on it. Most bands do that now. there's a (surprisingly good) article from NME about ticket prices inflation, but it applies to record releases too. www.nme.com/features/why-are-artists-and-concert-promoters-whacking-up-their-ticket-prices-2454221 |

The AA album started out as a normal recording before being rebranded as remixes / alternatives by Noel. Actually he did approach the AA to do a genuine remix version of the CY album, but the project got cancelled when the AA started asking about their writing credits for The Right Stuff and The Mexican. Fun trivia: Gaz claims to have written the original lyrics to The Mexican which included a line ending with “aphrodisiac”. Noel changed this to the “kid on crack line”. Face palm. X |
