Should be "...but really should be."

I have been asking for a dancefloor-primed version of "Tinseltown in the Rain" for years, but I can't get no satisfaction.

Rene & Angela - Bangin' the Boogie
Odyssey - Inside Out

More psychedlic boogie edits pls

I can't believe no one has done a re-edit of Toto's "Africa"

Lindbaek did, although it probably stretches the meaning of the term "edit". But yes it was crying out for one.

Aside: does U&K mean Urgent and Know?

Seriously.

Check out Paul Mac's excellent "Get High, Then Go to the Beach" mix Dominique, it's on there - downloadable at anothernightonearth.blogspot.com I think.

Matt, "U&K" means "urgent and key".

I still want an epic re-edit of 'Born Under Punches'.

Recently did an edit of 'I Can't Go For That' just looping bars at the beginning for longer, so there's a 2 minute build up before Hall chimes in. I heard a v good edit of this track a few years back altho it was quite heavy on blatant fx.

actually now that you say that steve have I asked this question before? Needless to say i've been consuming this evening.

I also want a spacey version of "Boys of Summer" which just loops that guitar for ages. In line with a spacey extended version of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" which I once heard while half-asleep and thought that the assembled choirs of heaven had arrived to fly me home.

actually now that you say that steve have I asked this question before?

ha i feel like i posted my previous post before also.

'Boys Of Summer' is more a 'John B should've reworked this 'trance n' bass' style 5 years ago for me.

surely something with 'rebel yell'

Check out Paul Mac's excellent "Get High, Then Go to the Beach" mix

cool thx! also, how come nobody does ABBA re-edits? the visitors? day before you came? every single they ever did?? surely they are out there, but perhaps they are also kind of impenetrable as far as trying to "edit" anything more into them.

i was thinking about this a while back while listening to ...spoonful of leather and immediately thought of "life in tokyo" by japan, but it turns out there was already a slo-mo edit of it called "life in tokyo theme" on the 1982 single reissue!

Everybody Wants To Rule The World
was one that popped up in my head when I opened this

also I'm thinking something off of Murmur but I haven't heard in a long time and I'm bad at remembering song titles...

How about Simple Minds "The King is White and in the Crowd"? It needs to be even longer methinks.

There was a Hall and Oates re-edit thing called "Haulin' Oats" that I think the Broker/Dealer dudes did on a Sentrall a few years ago . . . .

I can't believe no one has done a re-edit of Toto's "Africa"

Have you heard the Quiet Village remix of Toby Tobias' "Dave's Sex Bits" on Rekids? It's in the spirit of...

pls mashup:

Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F
Yazoo - Situation
Company B - Fascinated

Disco Juice is from the 70's and it IS fucking perfect, but some Scandinavian producer should still do something with it.

He could loop it for 2 hours straight and it would still sound good.

I have of all things a Nena/Eminem mashup that works scarily well.

I have been asking for a dancefloor-primed version of "Tinseltown in the Rain" for years, but I can't get no satisfaction.

weirdly enough i heard one the other week but its not been released yet, the artist & label are "in talks". i don't know if this means theres some problems in clearance or what. sounded great though!

Exciting!

The original actually gets very dancefloor-friendly at the very end when the stronger 4X4 beat comes in, but I'm imagining long sections of that plus strings = bliss.

Something from Jane Siberry's The Walking album could be worked into a marvellous edit, if you used sections selectively. The album's got that perfect shimmering late eighties sound to it. Perhaps parts of "The Walking" or "Red High Heels"? I just used "The Lobby" on a pretty balearic compilation for a friend but it wouldn't work on the dancefloor.

Would it be gauche to do an edit of "Life in a Northern Town" post-Dario G?

I'm not sure I understand the notion of re-editing the 80s songs, even after listening to some songs on what I think is Todd Terje's MySpace page. If it's re-contextualizing and modernizing 80s songs, then I guess I didn't see enough of the original source material in Terje's work.

But if I'm right about what the whole thing is about, then I love the idea. Girl Talk and Jason Forrest do something like this -- and I can actually spot the 80s songs they sample when I listen to their work -- but they're both so hyperactive that it's hard to appreciate their music (although I like them both, especially Girl Talk). Put differently, I prefer to hear the main riff from some of those 80s songs used as a centerpiece in the new work.

Oh, I'd love to hear Asia's Heat Of The Moment, The Smile Has Left Your Eyes and/or Toto's 99 or Africa "re-edited." Sorry for the longwinded, rambling post. I'm overtired this morning.

i just played le jete, "la cage aux folles", the instrumental b-side, at 33 and it's a slo-mo burner. would sound great next to the slower force of nature stuff from the past year. i think it fits the thread idea just right.

don't know anything about this tune. bought on a whim. megatone records from '83. very fast. too fast for my blood. a bit corny. google reveals all of 3 references to it on-line.

discogs lists it but has no info. anyone know anything?

I still want an epic re-edit of 'Born Under Punches'.

blueski have you heard the Fuzz Against Junk cover from 1999? not a re-edit, but it might scratch the itch. One of my most listened to tracks this year.

Shock The Monkey?

The meaning of "edit" is a bit hazy even with a single, um, editor - some of Terje's edits are very respectful and hardly change the original at all, others are quite radical transformations.

Terje's edit of "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes" strikes me as being the ideal.

i love that one.

everyone seems to recognize it but he fucks with it just enough that they can't place what it is.

my fave Terje is still the MJ "Can't Help It" edit. also if anyone liked the first track (alf emil eik) on the lindstrom latenighttales, terje is doing that one soon

The meaning of "edit" is a bit hazy even with a single, um, editor - some of Terje's edits are very respectful and hardly change the original at all, others are quite radical transformations

Thanks, Tim. On Hype Machine, I found Terje's edits of the Bee Gees'You Should Be Dancin', Paul Simon's Diamonds On The Soles Of her Shoes, and MJ's Can't Help It. Dancin' falls on the "very respectful" side, even though it removes the vocals (mostly) and adds echo. It was pleasant, but not terribly interesting. But he "radically transformed" the other two songs. Those make me want to hear more from Terje.

Another seemingly respectful but brilliant one is Dee Dee's "Easy Money" which he did in 2005. I haven't heard the original so I'm not sure who to attribute what to.

As long as this thread is turning into the essential edits thread:

ALL BETTY BOTOX.

the bee gees dub is awesome, it sounds like filter house!

terje djing tmrw night in LA

Queen - Another One Bites The Dust

dood did an edit of pour some sugar on me. yeah, by def leppard. haven't heard it though.

hi jaime where u been?

couchsurfing. dividing my time between djh and ilx when i have internet at my disposal.

i have to say that i've never been happy with the edits of 'how long' by lipps, inc that i've heard. i understand that the impulse is to remove that am radio female vocal and preserve 'the cool parts' ... but it kinda just ends up removing the dynamics of the song ...

i know pilooski's gotten a bit of flack around here but there is a very tasteful edit of john miles' 'stranger in the city' that just lengthens the intro and takes out the am radio-ish bit, but it works. and that edit of 'beggin' seems to be really popular right now (but those aren't 80's whoops!)

i play the betty botox edit of "how long" all the time. mixes well into "miss you" (which i wouldn't mind an edit of just to have in perfect time).

rolling stones 'miss you'? i like playing the og with roxy music's 'the main thing'

yeah i have the OG dutch pink vinyl version. looks exactly like the reissue from 2 yrs ago. :/

hall & oates - "private eyes"

Gah; can’t sleep. From what I can tell by reading this thread, songs that are prime candidates for re-editing are those that were at least somewhat popular, are danceable (or that have/could use a “big beat”) and have a high “kitsch-factor” and/or are guilty pleasures. So:

• Adam & The Ants – Antmusic
• Asia – Only Time Will Tell
• Asia – The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
• Big Country – In A Big Country
• Boston – Amanda
• David Bowie – Let’s Dance
• Jackson Browne – Somebody’s Baby
• Climax Blues Band – I Love You
• Christopher Cross – Sailing
• Culture Club – Time (Clock Of The Heart)
• Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died In Your Arms
• Duran Duran – New Moon On Monday
• INXS – Don’t Change
• Men At Work – Overkill
• Outfield – Your Love
• Robert Plant – Big Log
• Billy Squier – Everybody Wants You
• Styx – Babe
• Grover Washington, Jr. – Just The Two Of Us

Looking back, a lot of these are hardly “danceable,” but I guess I’d like to see them re-edited and I think they could use a stronger beat. So, for selfish reasons, I included them.

Perhaps the world may finally be ready to hear my dubs of Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "You Got Lucky"

"too shy" by kajagoogoo. the intro with that chorused bass noise goes on forever in my head.

ZZ Top - Cheap Sunglasses

this is one of my favorite thread titles

charming moustach-parading Scandanavian wag << o 4 the dayz of changeable usernames

check out justus kohncke's dub of the human league's "the things that dreams are made of".

"thug" off eliminator is so hot, i'd love to hear that out

"the way it is" is crying out for a really commercial edit that catapults said moustache-bearer to fleeting euro-stardom for the length of one summer.

HEART - love alive

good drums

Golden Earring-Twilight Zone.

well it deserves some kind of edit.

"I'm Not in Love" by 10CC

Terje is weak, this whole fad pretty much sucks ass. one of the few exceptions i can think of: that Editions Disco edit of Paul Simon "Late In The Evening". other than that, just play the 80's jam if you wanna play the 80's jam.

get out of my thread.

haha

"get out of my thread.

-- Tim F"

get off of my jock

has anyone done ON THE BEACH / chris rea?

his new thing has an edit of 'horse with no name'

under the alias WADE NICHOLS which is dennis parkers real name

My everlasting favorite is stil Terje's edit of Roxy Music 'Avalon'. Sublime

The "On the Road Again" on the new 'un is good. The "Horse with No Name" doesn't do much.

If I was on that horse I would have given it a name, just for something to do.

If part of the purpose of the edit is recontextualising hideously uncool records for the modern hipster, then someone should really do Warm Wet Circles by Marillion, (possibly editing out all the vocals). Gorgeous sparkling chorused guitars, great big 80s drums, crisp lovely production, perfect!

Also, not '80s, but I would die for an edit of the LP version of Art for Art's Sake. It's got so many cool parts that are just begging to be looped, and that intro! Beautiful!

"Chalk Dust (The Umpire Strikes Back)" by the Brat.

Pretenders - Mystery Achievement

wow, that was bad

Anyone else heard Terje's edit of M's Pop Muzik?

It's about 35 minutes into this mix that he did for Faith Fanzine recently.

The original's a great track but I really like what he's done with it. Seems to have a bit of a Mungolian Jet Set vibe about it.

was trying to remember what raer cool disco edit had this incredible instrumental where the bass goes WHAAOW WHAAOW! WHAAOW WHAAOW! at one instrumental section

then i realized i was thinking of thriller lmao

There's a really good edit of Thriller by The Revenge that you can get here

why hasnt anyone done a good balearic edit of human nature yet?

Maybe an instrumental mix of "Right Here" would do the trick.

we need a moustach-parading scandinavian wag

What exactly is Terje's process for his edits? Does he need a 12" with instrumental and a capella versions? I'm wondering how he can process the voices without affecting anything else.

i've seen it suggested that he's playing additional instrumental parts and overdubbing them.

"I'm Not in Love" by 10CC
-- oscar

^^ totally this, wake me up when it happens. Just need to make the swooshy bits last 3 times longer and put some bassdrums in and you're done.

Is there one of 'You Can Go Your Own Way' yet? Needs one that doesn't let you get to the chorus for at least four minutes.

http://soundcloud.com/zambon/i-want-to-know-what-love-is-kukabara-instr-rework

http://anothernightonearth.blogspot.com/2010/05/pollyn-simon.html

http://soundcloud.com/young-edits/tears-for-fears-change-young-edits-version

I would like to hear an edit for Break It Down Again to go along with Change.

also, how do you download those tracks from soundcloud

Can someone either point me to disco edits of the following or create disco edits of same:

Maxi Priest - Close To You
The Travelling Wilburys - Handle Me With Care
Wilson Phillips - Hold On

Also:

Daryl Braithwaite - Horses

^^^^ Check this if you haven't done so before.

tim you have gone TOO FAR this time

A world in which "Horses" is wrong or bad or somehow a bridge too far is a world I don't even know, let alone want to live in.

poor Tim, trapped in a world he couldn't bear ;_;

It's a balearic classic, how can you hate.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smbQh-LCKOw

ive definitely heard an edit of 'handle with care' played out before! i cant remember who was playing it but it wasnt anything special... in the right hands it cd be some real-ass shit tho

Terje's edit of "Stuck In The Middle With You" is decent, I'm imagining something along those lines.

It wasn't intentional but what unites all the songs I listed above is that they have multiple interesting and memorable hooks and vocal parts, I tend to think edits in general haven't done enough with songs in that category in terms of thinking creatively about how to deploy each weapon at the editor's disposal.

Could someone direct me to some Sade edits please?

listening to some simple minds 'before they sold out' comp on ipod the other day and that shimmery start bit of 'new gold dream' just sounded perfect for this.

...then something kept nagging at me from the past, went home and googled for a bit, lo and behold: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sPUpKGI1Z4

I wouldn't mind an edit of Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen.
Seems like something that likely has been done, too.

a spacey extended version of "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" which I once heard while half-asleep and thought that the assembled choirs of heaven had arrived to fly me home.

would love to hear this

Not an edit, but on the Big Chair dlx edition, there is a lovely blissed out instrumental that quotes the guitar solo of EWTRTW

not nec edits, but there are tons of remixes of sade. like this one i heard recently
http://soundcloud.com/vin-sol/g-lite-vin-sol-charles-mccloud

and a bunch of people have sampled her for hip hop albums. specifically e-40's son Droop E's mixtape BLVCK Diamond Life
http://www.thefader.com/2010/09/24/droop-e-blvck-diamond-life-mixtape-aka-the-sade-one/

come on beardos do me proud. you have a LOT to work with here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg7Dud55qlE

I also want a spacey version of "Boys of Summer" which just loops that guitar for ages

http://soundcloud.com/cmjct/seahawks-omega-beach-rubadub-records

xp i think jaxon meant to post *this* sade edit/remix/whatever:

http://soundcloud.com/vin-sol/couldnt-love-you-more-vin-sol-charles-mccloud-remix

and if so, he is right this is awesome. these guys are from sf right?

uh, ya. oops. from sf

and seahawks is prob one of my fave records of last year that i didn't listen to until dec 30

Seahawks are trippy. Are all their releases basically edits?

Didn't mean for that to sound dismissive, just genuinely curious.

one of my favorite albums from last year as well. it can range from ambient noodly synth stuff to edits with added ambient noodly synth stuff (not meant to be dismissive either). pretty spacey vibes throughout, though they do use a ton of recognizable sample material

seahawks is like edits w/ added drums and guitars and effects

SPIRIT IN THE SKY

has anyone done this yet?

prins thomas did an edit on mindless boogie (el toro) that i mistook for "spirit in the sky" for a while because it has a very similar guitar riff, but alas it is not actually "spirit in the sky" it is rudy ventura or something (maybe an instrumental cover version? it really is pretty similar)

Heard this tonight and instantly thought of this thread. Listening to it now though, I'm ready to start a petition to get Todd Terje or some other charming moustache etc. etc. to make a 10 minute epic of this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F8QM3tjkTE&feature=related

Haha yessssss

That song just makes me think of Billy Mitchell

been listening to that cohen album a bunch lately. whole thing's weirdly like that. did he do other synthy albums?

not really although there is this track from 'the future':

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HLF3-vGxsE

I'd buy an album of Cohen re-edits in a shot.

in. a. shot.

I've always wanted to add an electro fizz to "first we take Manhatten..then we take Berlin"

mainly cause the title is already perfect for the electro treatment

90s not 80s, but I think this sound is ripe for the edit treatment, esp. given that current early house into R&B sound popularised by Soul Clap et al:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iF47M3YDlg

Do we need a new thread for hits of the 90s or are we cool to start posting them in here? I can think of far too many that would sound good with just some synth squiggles and quantizing.

^ i don't see why not.

it's technically late '80s but i always thought that an edit of "orinoco flow" would be pretty much the best thing ever

thread title is "hits from the eighties or whenever..." so go for yr life.

I've had so many in my head but I struggle to think of them when I'm on ilm, grr.

Always thought a lot of Lilith Fair-type stuff would be ripe for this treatment:

Also I have a homemade low-quality edit of "Tinseltown In The Rain", it doesn't do much other than have an extended intro/outro and the string part repeated a bit, but if anyone's interested:

http://www.mediafire.com/?3kxz3zpv3p3ga2g

Haha, a friend of mine has a nascent Italians Do It Better type project and i convinced her to cover "Show Me Heaven".

plz plz plz somebody re-edit "Money Changes Everything" by the Smiths into a 15 minute tremelo'd out swamp disco epic

well, the 12" to bryan ferry's 'the right stuff' has a 7min mostly instrumental dub that's pretty great. so you can just play that twice.

for real? i don't have the 12". kinda feel like the guitars are too low on the album version tho. thanks for the tip!!

discogs says it's a Latin Rascals edit -- sweet !!

on the more sun-dappled lazing-on-the-beach tip, i feel good things could be done to this, particular the pre-vocal first half:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD6AYpVVNaQ

leo zero already did an edit of 'bonny' so why not, eh

is there an edit of springsteen's 'secret garden' out there?

WAR - LOWRIDER

I would quite like someone to do something with Rilo Kiley's "Dreamworld".

Is there a version of Men At Work's "Down Under" that's recommended?

Perhaps the world may finally be ready to hear my dubs of Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "You Got Lucky"

STILL WAITING ON THESE

prob not Michel's but this has been around a while
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPOPPt2_HT8

I listened to this a lot this weekend:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVfjJpDbzv0

My older sister loved (this era of) Simply Red so this already has massive childhood resonance, but with added awesome breakdown.

lolololol http://turntablelab.com/collections/daily-arrivals/products/the-cure-the-balearic-sound-of-the-cure-12

(i realize these are official 12" versions, not brand-spanking psychedelic "edits", but still in spirit of the thread IMO)

there's also a "the balearic sound of fleetwood mac" but I heard the pressing of that was of very poor quality.

I'm sure that between the snare fills, strident disco beat, and rich bassline, someone could do something amazing with The Cardigans' "Lovefool"

woah yeah def.

psychemagick should get on that

need a poolside or soul clap edit of "bette davis eyes" before summer comes

Sophie B Hawkins - Right Beside You

A version of All Saints "Black Coffee" that doesn't have the intro/outro parts

Lene Marlin "Sitting Down Here"

I've always wanted to make an hour long edit of Buffalo Stance that meditates heavily on all the different riffs, vamps and vocal snatches in the song. if anyone can source stems I'd be really really grateful

Theres an edit by The Revenge but its actually a bit disappointing given his involvement and the source material
