There's a huge difference between doing something new and just taking snippets of songs, adding a 4/4 electronic beat and nothing more.

Give me good rock, good jazz, good POP, but don't butcher what it's already great.

Yes.......... a thoughts that I've stumbled upon here quite a few times ... But hey I see no need for this, hell just look at out........ there's plenty of good music out there just waiting for literally anyone, here or anywhere, not just for the specialist, or the eclectic listener, or whoever on this planet might be concerned on music forums. The appreciation of good music doesn't need to attach any label to it, neither any previous estimation , nor any sort of music listening experience..............just think about that Wink

MOST "remastered" versions of old albums sound terrible. Mainly due to overcompression.

Why does everything have to be a dance remix?  Why do we have to dance to music?  Why cant we enjoy music without flailing about to it with our bodies like an idiot?  Seems a little savage and pointless.  Most of the time it's forced into this poor excuse for 4/4 timing that ruins everything anyway.

What's next?  Dance remix of Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon?  King Crimson's Larks Tongues in Aspic?  Henry Cow's War?  Could you even imagine how pointless any of this would be?

Seriously ... Put your Novation Launchpads away and make some of your own original music.

Are there names that go with these remixes albums?  Someone put a lot of time and skill into creating them.  It would be kind of funny if they were not credited to any individuals.

The Yes one was done by Steve Howe's son Dylan. If I remember rightly he did one track and played it to Steve who gave his approval, so he did a whole album.
