Following on from a previous thread of mine regarding a Dub Reggae version of 'Dark Side Of The Moon', I have just bought on E-Bay a Trance re-mix of 'Meddle'.
Have not received it yet, but watch this space for a full review........

Trance, as in a form-genre of electronic dance music - could be interesting........

I'm starting to worry about you, Jim. Do you own a gold bling-bling and have a gold front tooth with your intials on it? My gawd, man. Respect yourself. You probably own the YES remixes by Steve's son, "The Virg." Maybe we could send out a group of attack badgers to re-train your soul.

Mr Danbo
I would have you know I leave that malarky to those educationally challenged youngsters who blight this country with their ill-fitting, yet ridiculously expensive clothes, swanning around under the ludicrous impression that they hail from various 'hoods of south central L.A., whereas in reality, they come from a council estate in Birmingham........ The music (sic) they listen to is universally appalling, yet commercially successful..... however,
The dance music I regularly twist & froog to, and generally get down with my bad self to, is much more of the electronic variety, and altogether more, well, fluffy!
I hope that clarifies this issue to an ample sufficiency.

HHMM, if you wrap some electric tape or duct tape around the fluffy little animal, it won't explode........... Don't forget to de-claw first.

I deal with the "dark side" of humanity. Every type of derranged miscreant, violent, putrid deviants. They all seem to have some vile habit. Anyway, I did not mean to offend. Richard Gere does act as though he's got one in the bum, wot?
Fluffy electronic music, eh? I can't wrap my mind around it, so I lashed out. Sorry, Jim. .

Absolutely no offence taken, sir - are you by any chance a member of the law enforcement community??
How can I define fluffy - Hmmmmm difficult; to put it in it's relevant pidgeonhole, I believe it is referred to as PsyTrance

Yes.
I like Steve Roach, Fonya.... My part of California is more Classic rock and Blues in the clubs. We try to go dancing two or three times a month. I went to a club playing Nine Inch Nails and stuff like that, but ooohhh my, all the stoners kind of made me feel uneasy. I ended up watching vultures all night, rather then enjoying myself. The Blues clubs seem more about trying to get laid instead of making a deal. Ya, know?

I think that's the first time we've had two people debating on the forums, back and forth, at the same time!

why you end up complainig with something totally different? complaining about a song, and then you turn your heads to your private lives... anyway
i think that any kind of remix is a waste of mind, why bother, what is the problem with those "raiders" of originality, burn them and cucifix them , if they want to do some remixes, do it with the nasty, ugly, easy pop music that surronds us everyday, leave prog alone!!!!!

Uh...guys?...
I know some classical purists who have the same reaction to ELP; i.e., "muckin' about" with "proper" classical music, creating the equivalent of musical blasphemy... What makes what you're discussing all that different? Indeed, if memory serves (and I am, after all, an old man... ), a great many people had the same reaction to a little known quartet called The Beatles: that they were "muckin' about" with listenable "pop" music, "making a racket" with "all those guitars and stuff"...
Thoughts?

Many thanks for your support on that one Maani
Well, I've now listened to the remix, and I have to say it's not exactly what I was expecting, but a good album nonetheless.
When you read the words 'Trance Remix' you generally expect the original songs to be recogniseable, but filtered and combined with electronic tomfoolery to create a new dance track with a familiar feel.
This remix isn't so much Trance as 'Euphoric Ambient' - i.e the ideal vibe for chilling to; Meddle, in its way is an ideal chilling album anyway, but the re-mixers have created an electronic chill-out album which drops in the occasional basic element from the original tracks - just enough for you to recognise it, but not so much as to make you think you're listening to a straight remix.
To conclude, I think the title 'Trance Remix' is a misnomer - this is more of a straight electronic chill-out album flavoured with just enough Meddle to create a crossover (and to annoy the more straight-laced prog-holes out there )...

DAMN IT Jim! Now I'm getting curious too! Does 'One Of These Days' still have the same tension?
