Apples and oranges, mate. Remixes may as well be different songs nowadays
... I feel kinda ripped off if all they do is add a few effects here and
there and rearrange the sections a little bit and put in a few breaks.

Best example I can think of off the top of my head of a great mix that to
me is better than the original though isn't even AJ. It's Rabbit In The
Moon's remixes of Sarah McLachlan -- "Possession" and "Possessed By Fear."
I'll take those over the originals any day, although Sarah's pretty good
too ....
