hits from the eighties or whenever that have yet to been turned in to brand-spanking psychedelic "edits" by Todd Terje or some other charming moustach-parading Scandanavian wag filling in fo

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.

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.

^^ 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.

not psychedelic or even disco but this is a really sweet edit of 50 ways to leave your lover

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.

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.

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