Hmm... I dunno. Must EVERYTHING be remixed? What next? deep house remixes
of Benny Goodman and His Orchestra? Covering songs is one thing, and most
modern music warrants remixing due to its "now" factor, but leave these
older songs alone, they were made in an era where there was no such thing
as remixes, they are a reflection of their time. I've also heard recent
house remixes of The Police's "When The World Is Running Down" and the
Talking Heads' "Once In A Lifetime." Yes, remixes were around back in the
'80s, but they were more of muting tracks and tape splicing edit effects
(i.e. "The Re-Flex...Fle-Fle-Fle-Fle-Flex!") -- again a reflection of their
time and technology.
I don't mind the 2,364 white label remixes of Sade's "By Your Side" that
are out there at the moment, but if a song's been out for a number of
years, just leave it alone.

Yeah, look out for the e:trinity remix of "Mr. Roboto" b/w "Pac Man Fever"...
