Remember When U2 Remixes Were Great?
« on: August 23, 2024, 08:41:35 AM »
Who can forget the good old 80s and 90s u2 remixes. Back then, there were some really cool remixes going on, from Desire Hollywood Remix Up till the remixes done on the tunes from POP album.

Then, the quality of the remixes took a horrendous downward turn, when all those Deluxue Remastered albums all came out. And to this day, not one semi decent remix has appeared, since the late 90s....NOT ONE!!!
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

I disagree.

One prominent example is the Boots remix « Fish out of Water ». Brings the song to a decent level of quality.

Only a boots remix with none of those godawful lyrics would be even remotely listenable.

Some of the Magnificent remixes were really good as well.

Short answer to the original post: no.
I never saw the point of remixes and rarely listened to any.  I bought singles on CD if there was new songs that were left off the album.  When i saw singles with multiple versions of remixes of the same song, i stayed clear.

There are rare examples that support the idea of the remix. The William orbit version of Electrical Storm, for example, is excellent
