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.

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.

― Tim F, Saturday, 18 August 2007 03:34 (5 years ago) Permalink

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!)
