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.

goddamn, more ideas for the mix i'm working on gone.

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!

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'

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".

If there are any charming moustache-parading French wags, I'd expect them to be all over Jean-Jacques Goldman:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEJ9EXx3Wtg

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kg51gGOOqRs

Bow Wow Wow - Jungle Boy

no YouTube! :-(

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
