Check out Paul Mac's excellent "Get High, Then Go to the Beach" mix Dominique, it's on there - downloadable at anothernightonearth.blogspot.com I think.

goddamn, more ideas for the mix i'm working on gone.

Shock The Monkey?

The meaning of "edit" is a bit hazy even with a single, um, editor - some of Terje's edits are very respectful and hardly change the original at all, others are quite radical transformations.

Terje's edit of "Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes" strikes me as being the ideal.

Tim F, Monday, 20 August 2007 00:34 (sixteen years ago) link

i love that one.

everyone seems to recognize it but he fucks with it just enough that they can't place what it is.

gr8080, Monday, 20 August 2007 02:23 (sixteen years ago) link

my fave Terje is still the MJ "Can't Help It" edit. also if anyone liked the first track (alf emil eik) on the lindstrom latenighttales, terje is doing that one soon

Thanks, Tim. On Hype Machine, I found Terje's edits of the Bee Gees'You Should Be Dancin', Paul Simon's Diamonds On The Soles Of her Shoes, and MJ's Can't Help It. Dancin' falls on the "very respectful" side, even though it removes the vocals (mostly) and adds echo. It was pleasant, but not terribly interesting. But he "radically transformed" the other two songs. Those make me want to hear more from Terje.

Daniel, Esq., Monday, 20 August 2007 03:17 (sixteen years ago) link

Another seemingly respectful but brilliant one is Dee Dee's "Easy Money" which he did in 2005. I haven't heard the original so I'm not sure who to attribute what to.

dood did an edit of pour some sugar on me. yeah, by def leppard. haven't heard it though.

jaime, Saturday, 25 August 2007 04:06 (sixteen years ago) link

hi jaime where u been?

gr8080, Saturday, 25 August 2007 04:08 (sixteen years ago) link

couchsurfing. dividing my time between djh and ilx when i have internet at my disposal.

i have to say that i've never been happy with the edits of 'how long' by lipps, inc that i've heard. i understand that the impulse is to remove that am radio female vocal and preserve 'the cool parts' ... but it kinda just ends up removing the dynamics of the song ...

i know pilooski's gotten a bit of flack around here but there is a very tasteful edit of john miles' 'stranger in the city' that just lengthens the intro and takes out the am radio-ish bit, but it works. and that edit of 'beggin' seems to be really popular right now (but those aren't 80's whoops!)

jaime, Saturday, 25 August 2007 05:09 (sixteen years ago) link

i play the betty botox edit of "how long" all the time. mixes well into "miss you" (which i wouldn't mind an edit of just to have in perfect time).

gr8080, Saturday, 25 August 2007 05:16 (sixteen years ago) link

rolling stones 'miss you'? i like playing the og with roxy music's 'the main thing'

jaime, Saturday, 25 August 2007 05:24 (sixteen years ago) link

yeah i have the OG dutch pink vinyl version. looks exactly like the reissue from 2 yrs ago. :/

max, Saturday, 25 August 2007 07:49 (sixteen years ago) link

Gah; can’t sleep. From what I can tell by reading this thread, songs that are prime candidates for re-editing are those that were at least somewhat popular, are danceable (or that have/could use a “big beat”) and have a high “kitsch-factor” and/or are guilty pleasures. So:

• Adam & The Ants – Antmusic
• Asia – Only Time Will Tell
• Asia – The Smile Has Left Your Eyes
• Big Country – In A Big Country
• Boston – Amanda
• David Bowie – Let’s Dance
• Jackson Browne – Somebody’s Baby
• Climax Blues Band – I Love You
• Christopher Cross – Sailing
• Culture Club – Time (Clock Of The Heart)
• Cutting Crew – (I Just) Died In Your Arms
• Duran Duran – New Moon On Monday
• INXS – Don’t Change
• Men At Work – Overkill
• Outfield – Your Love
• Robert Plant – Big Log
• Billy Squier – Everybody Wants You
• Styx – Babe
• Grover Washington, Jr. – Just The Two Of Us

Looking back, a lot of these are hardly “danceable,” but I guess I’d like to see them re-edited and I think they could use a stronger beat. So, for selfish reasons, I included them.

"the way it is" is crying out for a really commercial edit that catapults said moustache-bearer to fleeting euro-stardom for the length of one summer.

Terje is weak, this whole fad pretty much sucks ass. one of the few exceptions i can think of: that Editions Disco edit of Paul Simon "Late In The Evening". other than that, just play the 80's jam if you wanna play the 80's jam.

The "On the Road Again" on the new 'un is good. The "Horse with No Name" doesn't do much.

Raw Patrick, Thursday, 3 July 2008 08:24 (fifteen years ago) link

plz plz plz somebody re-edit "Money Changes Everything" by the Smiths into a 15 minute tremelo'd out swamp disco epic

well, the 12" to bryan ferry's 'the right stuff' has a 7min mostly instrumental dub that's pretty great. so you can just play that twice.

jaxon, Thursday, 14 April 2011 01:44 (thirteen years ago) link

for real? i don't have the 12". kinda feel like the guitars are too low on the album version tho. thanks for the tip!!

there's also a "the balearic sound of fleetwood mac" but I heard the pressing of that was of very poor quality.
