Your Favourite Remix Albums/CDs

Thank you Shadorne for the info on the Duran Duran remix CD's. I am a casual fan of the band and did not know this album was out. I think I may have to purchase that one on CD.

Try also Classic Alternatives 12" Rare Extended Retro Hits which has such a nice selection of rare extended mixes.

Any anything from Hi-Bias Records Inc. in Canada - these guys have audiophile ears - very nice mastering.

Thanks again Shadorne. I am going to order both of those remix compilations that you recommended from Amazon. Looking forward to hearing these remixes.

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.
