*K & D use a small horn bit and a two-second line of the vocals ("smoking lot of weed and reefer") in the remix, but that's it.

Only collected edition for his total remake style.
91. UNKLE - 'Ape Shall Never Kill Ape'The melody is replayed via thrash guitars. Thematically bound to the original via Planet of The Apes samples and an old school hip hop breakdown (but not the same beats), but otherwise nada.
90. Money Mark - Maybe I'm Dead'The lyrics remain in pitched up form.
89. Buffalo Daughter - 'Great Five Lakes'The vocals again. And scratches.
88. Coldcut - 'Atomic Moog 2000'The sampled rapper hook and the jazz influence.
87. The Pastels - 'Windy Hill'The vocals.
86. The High Llamas - 'Homespin Rerun'The vocals and the string section.
85. Salon Music - 'Galaxie Express' 69 MixVocals and rock influence.
Obviously, as a pop remixer he tends to keep a lot of vocals, but the backing is always different and stranger than before.

79. Badly Drawn Boy - 'Pissing In The Wind' Lemon Jelly RemixThe title lyrics.
Tuomas, I don't think ones that keep the vocals should be discounted. As examples, the Chemical Brothers dispense with Method Man's rapping halfway through on 'Bring The Pain' (that's 78) and someone like Cornelius sometimes rearranges the verses and key lyrics or messes with the singer's voice etc.

ROCnelius will fight him. He often treats remixes of other people as an opportunity to remix (and devlop) himself (as do Plus-Tech).

Sounds nothing like the original -- different and faster drum'n'bass beat, no vocals, not the slightest hint of familiarity that would link it to the original at all. I'm baffled about how they made it from that song.

Apart from the repeated 'I Luv U's, this has basically nothing to do with the original. It's not even thematically similar.

ditches all but the glockenspiely pattern for some moody bass and quite chilling electric guitar. Great in a 'late night paranoia' sense.

55. Natural Calamity - 'Home' Prince Paul ReMix feat. Paul BarmanNot so much exclusive of the original (because the vocals and rhythm remain) as just very subversive of it, via Paul building on the childlike innocence of the original's lyrics, changing the entire thing form a dinky exotica pop song into a slow burning, keyboard hip hop rework of beauty, then getting Paul Barman to rhyme about (bad) sex and himself in what is maybe the biggest "um, that's not what we were talking about" rap cameo over. As a bonus, it totally proves that Paul doesn't need Automator to do his own Handsome Boy thing.

Both remixed by Brian Eno, neither of which sound like the original, one of them sounds like he took the very end from Get Right With Me from their Songs of Faith & Devotion album and looped it for about 8 minutes.
― Mike Prouten, Thursday, 11 May 2006 13:37 (seventeen years ago) link
as for Bjork i'd pick:
36. "Possibly Maybe" Lucy Mix- Mark Bell's production, vocal heavily distorted and vocoded (is it even a real word?) or possibly re-recorded for the remix.
37. "Anchor Song" Black Dog Mix
xpostWasn't there some story about Richard D. James missing a deadline and when whoever he was supposed to remix showed up he just handed them one of his early demo tapes stating that there is "very little left from the original"?
