This has got to be my favorite remix of Happiness. If I were Goldfrapp, I would approve it in a heartbeat. They're still my number 1 band. I post your remix on Goldfrapp Blog almost every month to remind my readers what an awesome remixer you are. Check it out:
Honestly, this was an amazing remix...and I love Goldfrapp. I really do. But I think your remix didn't get approved because it was TOO good. The Little Loud remix of their recent single "Believer" is in the same league as this...better than the original. Isn't that what a remix is supposed to do? Surpass the original and become the single? This is the way it was in the late 80s/early 90s in the era of Bell Biv Devoe, Bobby Brown, New Edition (New Jack Swing), Teddy Riley, etc. Anyhow, amazing.
Has it ever occurred to you that perhaps a decision to not use a remix, might not entirely be the band's decision. The other thing is, that acts often do put albums or 12"s out at a later time with tracks, remixes and other rarities that never got the approval initially. Many factors play a role in a release... not only wether one party likes a track/re-mix or not.
Perhaps a reason why THIS particular remix was refused, is the fact that its feel was too Black Cherry in terms of rhythm.
I agree with most of these people, how could Goldfrapp not accept this? It certainly sounds better than the other remixes I've heard, A&E was just a mess of remixes.
This remix is absolutely amazing and MUCH MUCH MUCH x2gazillions better than the official (and boring) BTWS one, it's probably the best remix from the Seventh Tree era, such a shame it wasn't released :(
The video is hilarious! Laughed myself to tears... Fantastic WTF-inducing material, haha!!
I think they should have approved this mix! It's really good. Goldfrapp seem to pick remixes where the melodies clash and sound like they've been produced by someone with no clue about music! I've certainly never enjoyed listening to those ones. Great stuff, keep up the good work! :-)
Ok.....after watching the official SHIT video I say this is a MUCH better and more entertaining video. It's cute and not annoying like watching some jumping moron.
Dude, it's me! This is awesome, I love it! Ha ha ha ha ha! And the mix is really cool - I haven't even heard the original. I see what you mean about adding a melody though, cos it sounds like your stuff (from what I've heard). And you can hear someone breath like they're trying not to laugh just for a second at the end. It's so good! Catch you later :D
Fantastic remix. Brings so much more to the song. Would love a studio/MP3 version of it. Come on Rex, even if it is a one song pay/download. This song is wicked.
They're absolute morons for rejecting this mix! I guess that's why the new album sucks so bad. Release it as a bootleg! BTW, making Alison a chimp is brilliant.
