Most of the mix's are definetly top notch, but there's one that sticks out for me... my choice has been made! I just had to pick it, as it sounded beter than the original which was already a masterpiece. But there's all good for the most part, the cd-r will be a great addition to my collection! |

I dunno about the chosen remixes, either :?/ they don't meet my tastes then of course disasemble it's possible that we have different tastes than the judges and a bunch of people here. I dunno about the value of "catchiness"... and honestly, I put a lot of work into my track, but I see how it may have not made it (it's actually a cover) so that's my story. |
||||||||

|

let's face it, the remixes can't be any worse than the originals... ;) |

arent you a bit repetitive? just my opinion though |

ya know what, BALLS to all of you These mixes were some of the most uninspired piles of crap i have ever heard. Most of them were sampled right of the CD's. and the rest were elevator music. P.S. give me loess's address so i can send them back the albums of theirs i bought. they all blow. |

just like autechre then |

i agree with Disasemble 100 percent, 109 was the biggest load of crap ive ever heard. Ive heard Dis's and think its way better than mine (thanks for the complement though (nate tarrant = tony)) Dis's was really good, and it doesnt need a friggin hook, if by hook, you mean some jerk sampling a bong hit. And if by hook you mean melody, his had really good melody, i dont know what evolume is talking about. As for the positive side, the person who made 96 is a pimp. |

i thought only one mix was unquestionably sub par, though most of the mixes at some point incorporate elements that undermined whatever good they had done. i admit i was genuinely surprised at some of the choices, since some tracks seemed to offer so little. i don't think it's necessarily sour grapes to say that you are disappointed with the top fifteen. the individuals who selected these tracks happen to have different taste in music, so i have no complaints. i note that none of the 15 are similar in style to the mixes i submitted. the track i thought was sub par has not been mentioned at all, positive or negative... |

<- shrugs nothing very innovative here having said that i dig #143.. what a friendly song :D |
||||||||
|

|
|
143 is my fav so far...just a simple happy cheesy track....whoda thunk to remix autechre this way? 10000000000 for creativity(or lack of?) |
||||||||
|
|

|

I REEEAAALLLYYY Enjoy # 023 So far its my fav |

no offense fellas, but some of the selected mixes really were quite shite. what bothered me a fair bit about a number of them was the fact that the original source tracks were in some cases so blatantly incorporated into the mix, without even being altered all too much - so much for originality and effort. =( generally speaking, i am rather disappointed with the selection and expected the all of the chosen mixes to be of a superior quality of the sort which would make it quite difficult to choose a particular favourite, but oh well, no matter. that said, granted, there is some quality work among the 15, but it was few and far between. stylistically, all too often the rmxs relied on "tried, tested & true" idm cliches - i mean, come on, do we really need to hear squarepusher ripoffs among the bunch? unless of course it was submitted by tom jenkinson himself, in which case, my sincere apologies. now let us wait and see what sean & rob will pick from the lot. |

hehe my mix was so fscked in the head... im totally unsurprised its not in the top 15 :D but yes i was only trying to please myself with what i did... you can figure :] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i cant stop playing #143 its found a place on my permanent playlist! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it is good, yeh.. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I've listened to all of them,......I like a couple of them. Agree with the general consensus -> no goosebump submissions. Maybe all the cool artists were remixing goon and tta ;-) hehe,...who chose the final 15? where can I hear the other 100 entries? When does jesus enlight us again? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I have to agree on #143 :-) What a lovely track! When i first heard it, i already found it very nice, but i thought i would quickly become bored with it. The opposite has happened :-p I's starting to like it more and more. What ae-track is this a remix of? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I have to agree with those who said that the general quality was a bit disappointing. I listened to them in sequence as I downloaded them and after the disappointment of the first three I got bored. But then #23 made me listen again. That was the first one I liked enough to give a repeat listen. Most of the rest were kinda dull. I mean none of them were badly done so much as just not interesting. Samey. For me it's a toss up between #23, #110 and #116. btw, I didn't take part in the vote cos I submitted remixes. Didn't qualify. Didn't expect to :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was TOTALLY supriced by #136, but #096 would be a good winner to... I think #110 is a little to loud at some points, but it has great mood. It just isn't all that well produced IMO |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I made my final choice and I already voted... yesterday I only listened to the mixes all the time, till I made up my mind |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
still playing-all top tunes,hard to pick as yet |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can't believe people keep saying that some tracks are completely shit... That's real nasty. These tracks were made by people in this community and some guys are just putting them down. meanies Well done to everyone... I like 013 the best. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well said-but still havent picked one yet,really hard me thinks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
#23 got my vote. Some great tunes there. /me bows -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as I ve already stated... I am really impressed for ythe great level of those 15 remixes... of course I have my favourites, but the cdr I made with all of them is really delicious to listen to... I am sure I will play it lots of times from now on |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

well ive gave them a listen 3 times over so far. I feel disappointed by a few only because i have heard 6 remixes by other people that i really think are MUCH better (and they are not mates just people i know online). I will be interested to know who the 15 remixers are :) i thought the mc one was very disappointing. to be fair i not a big fan of rap/mc-ing but even the music was not exactly cut up/remixed much. i still want to listen to them a few more times before i pass comment on the rest but there are already a few that have grabbed me more than others. I have a question about how the 15 were chosen. If the "crew" (he says in a Tim Westwood way!) chose the 15 then how did that work. Did every judge submit his/her 15 and then there was some point system or was there an overall judge ? |

woofer and me did the countings... dont worry joking of course |

when you put forth a work to be judged, shouldn't you be prepared for criticism? granted, people tend to exaggerate and rely on profanity to express themselves, but if you think track is shit, it's shit. imagine sean and rob wiping away a tear after reading a negative review in the nme saying "don't they realize that we are people? this negativity is just mean!" ; ) |

this is too tough to choose just one track, i am going to have to make myself a cd, take a day off work and listen to in on repeat until i come to a decision. I wonder if all the other remixes will be made available to listen to once the site is up? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i've chosen for #22 because it really was obvious which track he/she remixed and the other entries which i like, i don't know which song they remixed. that's all thank you for your attention, bye. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, they will. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm... i voted for 023, but it seems that 096 has got a firm grip on me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

There's some serriously kickass songs in it. My immediate favourite was 003 but I fear it might be a bit too DnB for the IDM crowd. I reckon it's all down to 022, the bouncier than bucephalus 023, 096, 110, and 114. I also appreciated the BOCness of 007, but is it liscenced to kill? Dunno. Big ups to the person that had two qualify. You guys who are dis'n tracks... sounds like sour grapes to me. But hey lets just reserve the remix bashing til the artist in question is able to stand up for themselves. You gotta remember it's your love of unconventional music that brought you to this board in the first place, so you gotta expect your definition of whats good and bad music to be different to other people's. I'm all for 109. For a hiphop track to make it to finals at a IDM remix contest... Shit, think you'd see an IDM track in the final 15 of a hiphop board's remix contest? Oh and 143, nice utilization of what must have been limited audio toolz at your disposal. Overall I was suprised at the quality of nearly all song that made it thru. Only a couple I thougth were weak. But I think even the least inspired song is more interesting than anything on the billboard top 50 at the moment. Speaking of which..."Kid Rock Featuring Sheryl Crow Or Allison Moorer"?!. Are they not sure who it actually is or something? I hope noone bases their vote on just listening to the streams, because the sound quality is terrible. Now the stardards has been set bring on remix contest number 2! |

im glad at least a few people agree with me. all in all, its just my opinion. you can get angry with it if you want. im not meaning for people to take offense, but i dont think stating my opinion on the topic "15 selected remixes - opinions" is bad. asked for opinions, and im giving this topic mine. no need to get nasty calling people "cunts" and what have you. i think most of the remixes are bland. most of them are the same length and follow the same formula. most of them, to me, arent vibrant and colorful. technically, i think about 75 percent of the remixes are good at just that, being technical. but you can still be technical and get nowhere near colorful and interesting. i wish some of the remixes focused on more elements, mixing them together to create something more full, yet still made it interesting. this is the quality i was looking for, and expecting. i didnt get it. thats why im disappointed. also, some of the remixes that didnt make it, have these qualities. making me even more confused. i dont think its unreasonable according to how i feel. im not bashing people for liking these tracks. if they like them, thats fine. i dont have a problem with that. im merely stating my opinion on the whole thing. in any case, seeing as i DO like some of the remixes, i think 96 is the most standout track, for me. this is one ill probably vote for. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm. this is tough. i must say i was a little surprised at some of the songs that made it, yes. i'm not quite sure what i expected, but it must not have been what we got. *shrugs* it's come down to 013, 096, and 136. dunno what to do here. maybe i'll vote for 013 since it's gettin' less votes. heh. and rotar. what a great track. =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
all are good IMO, way better than I ever could have done( I actually thought about entering). Cheers to ALL those who's mixes made it to the "15"...Ill buy all of ya's a round!! But I do have a couple favs to decide between...as to which gets my vote.=) |

rmx #003 absolutely owns! i'm awfully surprised that not all too many of you seem to express a similar sentiment towards this track, but i reckon -spent is right in his assertion that it's simply not "IDM" enough for the lot of you. but only 1% of the overall votes so far? that's just downright absurd! this track is one of only a handful which really deserve the listener's attention. |

#136 IS my new "listen to this in the morning"-track ...i rawks so hard...best squarepusher-style... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i agree with you, i really like that mix. i guess most of the autechre fans aren't particulary into tech-step. too simplistic beats for them maybe? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that was "it rawks..." ...damn my morning-spelling.... #096 is fucking A too |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
02 22 23 and a couple overs, I think 96 too, need to listen to them all over again, and nacmat is dead on, this makes a killer fucking driving CD. |
