  • it's getting kinda hectic.

  • keren habis deh musiknya,xixixi...

    I really liked the arrangements of this song

  • Hmm? Could've been good, but AutoTunes killed it. BMPs don't exactly fit well either.

  • it's well done mate but the breakbeat is not such a good choice other mixes off this track i can't find ;(

  • cool mix

    

  • Heya Mr. Remixer - i'm a major fan of Genesis for many years & i say this is real good work! Really like the vibe, funky drumbeat & the autotune suits this mix. Nice 1! No need to explain why u did it either, to those who just don't get it. ;-)

  • I like this mix but I can't help listening and thinking, "it's gettin' - It's gettin' - it's gettin kinda hectic!" :P

  • This is pretty cool, but it kinda lacks some meat or something in the mix. Still, but props for the effort.

    I hate autotune too, but it's okay in this song because we all know Phil Collins really could sing great.

  • sweet little project.  art is democratic these days and anyone can create. it used to be that only wealthy brats had the free time although they still infect the new environment. I dug it, pure and simple. the jerky movements are creepy in effect its cool almost manic

  • LOL at these people with ate using too much lifetime trolling the internet to find people who are using their lifetime being creative !! ... this gives me the creeps !! it is effective use of art!.. leave the artiste alone.. you can't compare and it's been a long time since the song was out/it's a project and should be understood as such just like Phil did on the first run of the song/nobody was sure of it then!!.. naahhh troll bratts take that!! LOL.. Nathanjay, think you worked with BH!<3U2!

  • As much as i like genesis, and as much as i hate voice over crap they use today because they cant sing and sound like robots, normally i would have hated this done to genesis, but you did really good with it. nice job!

  • very cool work... thanks for sharing your efforts! loved the original but this is a neat spin/update for it.

  • DUDE, FUCKING AWESOME

  • I got the power - sample is used here...

  • Cracks me up the number of people slating this mash up. This is imagination & creativity at it's best! I'm a hardened Genesis fan and think this is superb!

  • The synth bassline doesn't really match the song melody. I've heard better mashups.

  • NICE SO NICE GREAT WORK

  • GOSTEI MUITO PARABÉNS PELO QUE VOCÊ FEZ NA MUSICA FICOU MELHOR E MAIS EMOCIONANTE.

    MAIS UMA FEZ PARABÉNS!

  • Am I crazy or am I hearing Phil Collins mixed with Heavy D and the Boyz??????

  • @Harrisononthesack no it's "I Got The Power" By SNAP, I believe. Nice idea, but lame song to mix. It was lame in 1990 and even more lame now mixed with Genesis. Ruins a good idea and a good song. Sorry to be such a hater...

  • Nice. Very creative and excellent tempo sync. I wonder if it's more productive to use one's time experimenting with and creating music (using other people's work as raw material or otherwise) or trawling the internet to find examples of other people that have done so to tell them they shouldn't have bothered...

    Is it Autotune you're using on Phil's voice? I'm interested to know how you did this - did you managed to isolate the vocal from the rest of the track somehow?

  • @thetaken09 Hi, thanks. Yeah I got the vocal from the central channel on the DVD of their videos, then put it through autotune

  • i feel ashaimed to here this top quality track been destroyed by some idiot with a sampler and and pc program also too much spair time. Leave phil alone and creat your own music if your so creative

  • @djspam80 you should be more ashamed of six spelling mistakes in one comment

  • @djspam80 I think the mixer is just as impressed by Phil Collins as you. We all love the originals. I'm sure Phil favors musical freedom and art. Just relax and keep listening to the original track. I think this mix is a respectful take on the original tune.

  • @djspam80  I agree

  • @djspam80 here you go - ashamed* hear* being* spare* create* you're*

  • i've got to admit i like to hear these genesis remix's theyre fun!

  • Great remix. I love it. Good work out song :)

  • took me about 30 seconds to get past my preconceived notions ... VERY nice !!

  • took me half a minute or so to get into it and cast aside my pre-conceptions ... VERY nice :) :)

  • have to say would be amazing without the vocoder effect

  • this is really sweet, genius!

  • TBH I quite like this. I would like to hear how it sounds without the vocoder but still a good remix :)

  • great remix of a classic song

  • Sorry, but this rocks and I'm bettin' Phil would like it, too.

  • this song wasn't meant to be remixed

  • there's no need for this song to be faster or have "voice mixer crap" but this is pretty sweet.

  • really bad, original had great drums, it sucks

  • Well I quite like it :-)

  • a waste of air space

  • This has got to be the most ridiculous You Tube I have ever heard. If you think you are a producer, don't wuit your day job. This is terrible.

  • OMFG so stupid

  • you look like a monkey ya idiot!..

  • 3.36 phil looks like a monkey!!!!

  • Why the hell the real version is blocked ????

    Can any one tell help me on that

  • like it :):)

  • i actually think this "remix" clowns genesis out a lil bit

  • this is just hilarious..kinda cool but very bad at the same time

  • I love the combined beats, and how the distortion in Phil Collin's voice varies during the song. However, I think that the 6-7 'taking away my last chance' was seriously unnecessary; it borderlines annoying. Still a great remix, though.

  • Sorry but imo it kills the feel and atmosphere of the track. I don't usually like remixes...the original really rocks!

  • Great idea but you can barely hear Phil's vocals.

  • good mix

  • Phil is processed enough... You don't have to help him.....

  • Phil is processed enough,,do you really think so??

  • some songs just dont need to be remixed this is one of them

  • I concur

  • @snowddoogg

    Oh, i forgot to mention that i'm really hoping Tony puts out a new classical album soon. Maybe i'm in the minority on this, but i think i've worn down a few CD players' lasers by listening to "Seven" over and over and over.. ;-)

  • I pretty much went into this video with a pre-packed one star. You my friend beat my every expectation out the window.

  • very good mix ty m8

  • snap the power

  • Backing beat is "Back to life" by "Soul2soul" isn't it?

  • no ..I got the power By SNAP

  • you dont need to put that voice mixer crap in because unlike 90% of todays 'artists' Phil Collins can actually sing!

  • i like that voice mixer crap

  • @888876544

    I too like "that voice mixer crap", which is actually called Autotune!

    It is often used for robotic effect, as in this case, and not to disguise poor singing.

  • So this is what happens when C&C Music Factory meets Genesis! LOL Not a bad remix Nathan. You've definitely got talent but some songs just weren't meant to be bouncy dance tracks. Especially Mama!

  • You should write your own music, instead of messin with others. You'll get alot farther ;]

  • I forgot to ask, is there anywhere i can download/get hold of this remix?

  • great remix, love it. the original is better as you said but is great to hear a great song in a different way, top job mate

  • awful

  • very good

  • Conceptually good but the beat is far too lame..what is that Snap! ? I guess they are both old-school songs so it works on some level. Thanks for sharing!!

  • soooo good ^^

  • This song is great for the clubs but......I like the original better !

  • What a remix! - the video AND the song. I downloaded it and it's been on my MP3 player for MONTHS. EXCELLENT JOB!!

  • were can i download the MP3?

  • un vrai massacre

  • oui

  • i like it

  • to Cher sounding........

  • compleatly ruined the song!!!!

  • Nice...!

  • done well but does not suit it at all

  • I think it ruined the song... sorry

  • Love the vocoder sounds well funny!

  • Awesome beyond words! I can't even notice the flaws you mentioned with syncing Tony. =D

    5+/5 + Fav!

  • love the video and song for a long time

  • Holy fuckn```A....... Glad to see Phil come over to the dark side. This is by far one of their best videos, and I have seen a sh!t load!!

    You rock too`````` Jay!!! Keep blowing peoples minds!!

  • what a bag of shiete!

  • fantastic mixing :-)

  • Now that the "album version" of this song is available in 5.1, will you be making an extended club mix with the verses missing from the single version? I'd love to hear it!

  • I have to say you have done a really good jobs melding these two songs together and I love the vocoder effects to Phil's voice.  I wish you could get this onto ITunes, I'd download it like a shot - nice one. Anth

  • very good the beat is exelent im a hard cor phill fan but god damn that was pretty fucking cool

  • I love the original, and found this version very interesting. You did quite a good job in mixing the 2 songs, and I

    Snap attach, front to back !!!

  • great, you shouldnt have to explain this is a remix or defend yourself.. this 2007, surely people get remixes by now and if they don't that is sad!

  • Those of you who are disappointed because it doesn't sound JUST LIKE the original? You're kind of missing the point. Check out N4's MySpace page (posted in the "about this video" section. This mix got through more than one workout at the gym. Thanks!

  • the vocals lost power and quality...

  • Powered by Snap!

  • Powerd by Mantronix. Snap sampled that beat off a B-side called King of Beats

  • thanks for the data

  • I thought that was brilliant, almost Daft Punk!

    Great Job Nathan...can you release it as a single?

  • Yet another wannabe. The song/video stand on their own merit back in the day. Too bad 'new' or 'hip' so-called artists need to use others creations, then run and crunch them thru a computer program and call it a 'funky re-mix'...kinda like DJs in a club taking all the cred for others music...your paid to spin albums, or more recently, just click your mouse, and say YO-YO...This onez for all da-fine Ladiezzz!...Yo, Drink Specials for all the Ladies gimme a holla...YO-YO !!

  • Yes the song stands on its own merit, it's a classic.

    However I wanted to hear a funkier, breakbeat based version, and I wanted to hear Mikes guitar solo with no other sound to hide it, so I remixed it.  A remix isn't a cover version, its a re-mix. Yes I used a computer, as well as a synth.

    It's not intended to replace the original version, its an added bonus for people who like both dance music and Genesis.

  • I just love this!

  • Brilliant! My fave Genesis song revamped for 2007! Well done!

  • Not bad, wouldn't have thought to mix these two.

  • The original is definitely better, but this did take some work. It's at interesting.

  • This is wack!

  • joli travail bravo !

  • Congratulations! This was probably difficult to make.

  • WOW, I wish I never heard this. The original is way better. Genesis forever!

  • This video is Funky great!!!

  • hey that was pretty awful

  • A little more dance sounding,what makes the original sound so dark is the tempo,it's slow and mysterious,but a good remix.

  • Duuude. this remix makes the song more creepy than it was! I love it! Where can I download your remix at? =)

  • Awful! Very typical of peeps taking classic songs and ruining them. And what is with the "voice box"? Daft Funk this is not so why make it sound that way? Was perfect just like it was. One either makes or breaks classics with a 'remix'...this didnt break it, it shattered it. Terrible.

  • Wow!! I don't know what else to say but well done!!

  • Excellent job.  This is incredible.

  • This is cool.....

    It's a dark song to begin with.

    The vid & the mix make it even darker

    Great job

  • BRILLIANT....

  • Very good, I like it, only that I think you repeat too much the "last chance" thing. The rest perfect! :)

  • This is really cool, but the drum beat is just a little distractingly upbeat -- the sort of bell-ringing noise and the tambourine particularly. Other than that -- vocals and tempo sound great.

  • I really really like it!

    gluck in the future!

  • I don't care for it, the origional is better, and the beat is too fast for the origional drum tempo.

  • GREAT JOB!

  • Now hears an idea - why not try a remix of 'Silver Rainbow' from the same album. That one is crying out for a remix - the beat is almost dance already, the lyrics are sexual, and it's drenched in hooks.

    Go do it!

  • Very good effort, laden with catchy hooks, care of Collins's original vocal.

    The hooks could've been better utilised: 'You're taking away my last chance' should have had a beat brought behind it, but instead the momentum of the track is lost for a while.

    Other hooks such as 'Ha ha!' and 'Don't go' could also be better placed to add excitement.

    Less autotune (cheesey nowadays) and a catchy bassline would also help to make this the classic it has the potential to be. Fine effort.

  • Thanks for the comments NSA, but I really like Autotune - the less human a vocal sounds, the more I like it. Its just my preferencece...in the same way I preferred the bassline of my Aisle Of Plenty remix to have a different final note to the original bassline ;)

  • Aww, but that effort was shite man (and the excuse for a bassline on it was just bullshit!) Mama has real potential though. Just put in the work to take it that extra mile - that's what separates us men from you boys!

    (You'd never guess I was a musician would you).

  • numbskullandy, you're a musician? really??!! I'd thought you were an asshole with that piece of diatribe you call a comment!! I think you need to be sperated from the general population till the doctors get that nasty ego of your under control!! N4TH4NJ4Y, your version just plain rocks!!!! Again kudos to you for putting you own spin on the song!!!

  • Well done! really good!! It's good to see someone willing to put their own spin on a classic song. Kudos to you!!

  • Ok..to begin, i was hesitant to view this video..as a genesis purist i was skeptecal (to say the least) however...HOLY SH*T THAT WAS FANTASTIC! very very surprised and pleased with the outcome..didnt expect the beat of it would do the song such justice, and the sync with the video is impeciable! well done on updating a real classic...I bet if Phil saw this he himself would be impressed...i sure the hell was! Thanks for posting this, adding it to my faves straight away!

  • Thanks. When someone takes the time to type a comment like this, it can really make someone elses day...after so many comments from people who don't get it, or think I'm trying going to go round their house at night and tape over Mama on their original copy of "Shapes" with my remix whilst they're asleep.

  • oh your very welcome....I'm so in awe of this mix that i actually told people at work about it...included a link to in in emails etc...best of luck to you in your future, you are indeed talented, imaginitive, innovative and creative..I'm sure youll go far. Thanks for the experience.

  • ugh. this is.....supposed to be melancholy. Not dance.

  • The original is much much better; you've totally taken away the intended feel of this song.

  • It's kinda cool. But in my opinion, the original is far better. Perhaps because this just feels too darn fast. Still cool that you could do this.

  • I prefer the original

  • NICE FLOW!!!

  • this compromises the original....

  • if only all phils songs could be remixed like and that and keep there amazing performances!!!!

  • excellent! no more comments

  • I loved this. I never saw this before. I'm a huge Phil and Genesis fan. Moreso now then ever. Thanks

  • That was FREAKIN GREAT! But... why can you do all that but have six seconds of nothing at the end? No matter... FREAKIN AWESOME!

  • great job 5/5 love this song ..

  • I thought it was well done, How did you do it? You had to have a diff. time.. let me know...EXcellent.

  • That warbles beginning to grow on me...

  • Awesome job njay. Any takers for ABACAB? Since we're going vintage dance here ala Snap for MAMA, someone bring ABACAB down (from what seems like 13/8 time) to Tupac/Dr.Dre time ala Calfornia Love. "a-BA-CA-AB. a-BA-CA-AA-AB. ". I think it could work...

  • Hey, this is good. Well done! I must say the 'warble' on Phil's voice is a bit too much for me though...

  • this sounds ok I guess I have it on the platimun collection of genesis besides I knew they were having a reunion this year it sux the tickets r so expensive and I can't buy them

  • Hey that's very cool, dude. I like the original alot and you didn't offend at all.

  • Very good remix, send more.

  • Really well done remix. The Cher effect is a bit much at first but it grows on you. "Mama" is an all too often overlooked classic by Genesis. More Genesis remixes to come?

  • damn, snap was my first guess. i wish there were more people reinterpreting genesis like this. maybe i'll have a go someday.

  • uggh, why use the "cher" effect??? and the drum track sounds lifted from c&c music factory. though other than that i'm impressed!

  • I like the Cher Effect!  And close, but the drums from Snap "The Power" :)

  • well done m8!

  • good remix.

  • Really well done, Nathan Jay. That grooves!

    I think Genesis would like it, too.

  • Wow I really like this - very well done!

  • Loved it! Fascinating to hear the Vocoder applied to Phil's voice!

  • kewl mop you stuck on him, but you gauged out his eyes... nice work, thanks.

  • lol d'you mean at about 3:35? I thought it made him look a bit like Peter Gabriel

  • how did you get the tracks apart from eachother?

  • plug the middle channel of your dvd player into your line in on your soundcard and stick your Genesis DVD in

  • haha offcourse! ur the man!

  • allways liked this record,brill now but im bias.momma.

  • yeah thats the beat from The Power. Cheers.

  • Hmm is that Snap! ? I appreciate your hard work...

  • I like it! Good job
