Your Favourite Remix Albums/CDs

1)Chapterhouse Retranslated By Global Communication - Blood Music: Pentamerous Metamorphosis is probably my favorite. This is not a traditional "remix" album at all though. An entire album by the band Chapterhouse(I never even heard the original album) is remixed into an ambient masterpiece by one of my favorites Global Communication. The idiot George Lucas had them pull it for a 5 second C3-PO sample. I mean come on...this thing sold like 1,000 copies. Here are a few examples:

2)Remotion: The Global Communication Remix Album. This has 2 tracks from Blood Music but includes other very hard to find mixes and is also one of my favorites. They even remix a Jon Anderson(yes of YES) track into this gorgeous piece:

3)The Orb-Auntie Aubrey's Excursion Beyond The Call Of Duty Volumes 1 & 2. 4 discs of extremely rare Orb remixes. Everyone from Erasure, Depeche Mode and Lisa Stansfield to Tangerine Dream, Yello and Wendy & Lisa. For Orb fans this may be way more upbeat than you'd imagine.

Synthfreek,

Did you ever play Myst (the game)- I listened to the links you gave and it immediately made me thing of the Myst soundtrack. Awesome sound.

Check out remasters of Elton John's 'Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy' and 'Madman Across the Water'. Both from Rocket Records back in '95(?). Cap Fan was remastered by the original engineer and it sounds great! The soundstage/image/instrument separation is outstanding and everything just sounds very natural and "right".

Remixes and remasters are two completely different things.

Mix Up - Patrick O'Hearn.

Awesome sound and mixes!

Most O' Hearn New Age fans despise it.
