The Genocidal Pacifist: That is not what I said. I did not say that remixes should sound almost exactly like the original. What I said is that remixes should be hard to be spotted as remixes.

Here's two remixes of the same song, plus the original:
 * Ayumi Hamasaki - evolution (Original Mix)
 * Ayumi Hamasaki - evolution (Goldenscan Remix)
 * Ayumi Hamasaki - evoluton (Time Is Pop Mix)

Now, both remixes are very obviously remixes if you compare them to the original mix. However, if you had people who'd never heard the original mix listen to the Goldenscan and Time Is Pop remixes, which remix do you think most people would peg as a remix right off the bat and which remix would be able to "trick" more people into thinking it's the original mix or a cover and of a remix of the original?

My money, hands down, is on the Time Is Pop Mix. The Goldenscan Remix is just so very obviously a remix. It starts out well enough, but once the verse kicks in, the way the vocals are layered with the instrumentals, especially in the bridge with the repeating lines, it's just so very obviously a remix.

Meanwhile, the Time Is Pop Mix is much subtler. It's much harder to tell it's a remix. If you'd never heard Ayumi Hamasaki's "evolution" before and I showed you either of the mixes, would you be able to peg both as a remix? Only one? Neither? My money's on most if not all of you pegging the Goldenscan Remix as a remix but having a much more difficult time with the Time Is Pop Mix. Heck, if I didn't tell you it was a remix, would you even be able to tell?

That's what I meant. The remix of "All You Wanna Do (Is Just Dance)" is just so very obviously a remix. A pretty bland one at that. I don't like it. It doesn't sound good to me. By all means, give us a good remix. A good remix of the song, one that doesn't just scream remix from the very first note. But not that one, please. That one you can keep on Youtube.
