Hi Mark, The Polka track in the remix contest is another example. I can't hear anything in it except Dieter's vocals from the original Soul on Ice. Another example is De Phazz's remix of Squeeze Please. To me it's a different song, except that the vocals from the original track were preserved, allowing the composer to claim that it's a remix. I like the track, though. Must come down to what the market is willing to bear. - RF -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com]On Behalf Of Mark Pulley Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 3:45 PM To: yello@mailman.xmission.com Subject: RE: [Yello] snapshot On 3/7/04 10:10 PM, rfiler@SierraWireless.com wrote:
I am happy if a remix track contains at least one recognizable element from the original song, but the rest is up to the composer.
But if it only contains one recogisable idea, is it still Yello, or is it someone else's track with a Yello sample in it? One dire example I can think of is To The Sea (TSWL Mix) that may as well be a completely different song. That's not to say that these 'remixes' are always bad - it all depends on whether the composer says anything new, or just turns the song into a carbon copy of the latest musical style.
