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

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

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

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.

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:

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:

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:
