The best remixes evah?

I'm a sucker for Alec Empire remixes of anything, but his retake on Bjork's "State of Emergency" is one of my favorites, a perfect combination of sounds & lyric.

Amon Tobin's remix of Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Grief"

Fercryinoutloud I need to here this!

Everything I've ever heard Cornelius remix has been nothing short of astounding & lovely. I want him to do at least one disgusting dirty-ass remix of something eventually.

Dan, that TS is easy for me - they're on the same single and I'll play the hell out of the Chem remixes (vocal and instro-edit) and occasionally neglect the Prodigy one.

The Dust Brothers have some grate ones - Len - 'Feelin' Alright', Money Mark - 'Cry', Sukia - 'Gary Super Macho', Beck - 'Dark And Lovely', They Might Be Giants - 'Snail Shell', Squirrel Nut Zipper's 'The Suits Are Picking Up The Bill', the excellent April March mixes, the *classic* two from the Paul's Boutique singles. I even liked their No Doubt remix.

On that note, I also recommend Portishead's 'Revenge Of The Number', an in-house remix of 'Numb' that is as sublime as it is hip hopping. This and the abovementioned are sonic cousins. Badly Drawn Boy - 'Once Around The Block' (Nick Faber mix) is another of my favourite 'post-trip hop' songs, but the way the lead melodies andbacking vocals have been rearranged to fit the hip hop break and bassline, it sounds a lot like 80s romo.

Cornelius from '97 - 01 is king remixer.

Middleton (Jedis) mix of Underworld's 'Jumbo' my second fav - narrowly beating the aforementioned Goldfrapp mix for Middleton's best imo

actually a lot of these i like the original perfectly fine, but the remixes make the songs certifiably classic

also... there's like a million more, but these sprang to mind instantly

System 7 -- Alphawave (Plastikman). Probably my all-time fave.
Saint Etienne -- Like a Motorway (Autechre).
Datach'i -- Memorandum (Mogwai)
New Order -- Round and Round (Kevin Saunderson's Detroit Mix)
PWOG -- Kraak (Mark Broom)
Torture -- (I forget the track name, I'm not with my music collection at the moment) (Kevin Martin)

This is what you need, fools.

Alfred's list is really good but it's heavy on the 80s and 90s. I'm interested in putting together a playlist of pop/indie remixes from the past 10-15 years or so. stuff like:

Florence + the Machine - What Kind of Man (Nicolas Jaar Remix)
Empire of the Sun - Walking on a Dream (Sam La More 12" Remix)
Delorean - Seasun (John Talabot's Kids + Drums Remix)
The xx - Violent Noise (Four Tet Remix)
The Knife - Heartbeats (Rex the Dog Remix)
CHVRCHES - Leave a Trace (Four Tet Remix)

Suggestions welcome!

slam - visions (ewan pearson mix)

David Bowie - Love is Lost (James Murphy Remix)
