also, i think that if the baxendale vocals in the mayer mix were sung in german instead of english, we'd all be like 'ooh that sounds so cool and dark and mysterious!' etc etc instead of hating it, ha.

the over-egged amateur dramatic vocals less so, but I can certainly see my opinion changing in the right circumstances (ie what Ronan and Geeta said).

If anything the remix is yet another example of how effortlessly good Mayer's music sounds when he has a vocal to frame. This reminds me a lot of the "Happiness" remix with its insistent pulse. Everyone who says that the falsetto bit should last longer is spot-on though; I think he could have looped it for ages and ages and ages. It's not as good as his mix of Nathan Fake's "Coheed" though.
Of the (standalone) Mayer remixes i've heard I'd rank them as follows:
The Modernist - Protest SongFrank Martiniq - AdrianoSuperpitcher - HappinessNathan Fake - CoheedAntonelli Electr - The VogueMiss Kittin - Happy ViolentineBaxter - I Built This CityPaul Nazca - EmotionEgoexpress - TelefunkenAgoria - Sky Is ClearP.W.O.G. - Kind Of PrayerDonna Regina - Star FerrySven Vath - Face ItMatthias Schaffhauser - Nice To Meet You
... Time for a compilation I reckon.

At the risk of sounding ignorant for not knowing why, is this produced by the same guy? I couldn't find any information on discogs.

On my walk between the tram stop and my house on the way home from work it sounded AWESOME. So much so that I played it again when going to get some ice cream and it was merely VERY GOOD. I fully expect it to be AWESOME next time though. It's one of those tunes.

It sounds a bit like some of the people who've made Superpitcher style records, Richard Davis or Lawrence etc, or like what an English person would sound like trying to copy Superpitcher! Did Ewan Pearson or someone actually make this tune?
(haha just kidding that was mean)

MRI's "Blue", which is a quasi-cover of "Try Again".
On first listen (which is unreliable) "Tell Me About It" isn't as good as the "Je Regrette Everything" remix though, or "Heroin" (the other track it's a bit like). Still nice though, and it might well grow on me heaps. It loops that opening piano chord and ghostly "ohhh no" sigh from the intro of "I Can Be" and adds some lightly simmering acid sounds.

Although hearing the speak-and-spell bits always just reminds me of how great the Paul Rutherford track on Ivan Smagghe's Death Disco is.
