I know I'm not exactly of your geberation benny, but i like to think I know a bit about music and have a wide variety of tastes from Paloma Faith and Elbow to Pink Floyd and Elvis.

The mix is appaling. I hate that screechy clubby keyboard sound and whoever's mixed it has the keyboards drowining out her singing. It's just someone trying to cash in on someone elses success.

'generation'

No, it isn't very good. The synth stabs are obstructive.

Maybe Squarebear could do us an AB mix which is less offensive? And more interesting I'd wager.

Dear God, what a bloody racket

I agree with you count - a - strong, that remix is cr@p but alot of remixes of didos songs are pretty good. i like remixes of general pop songs because you still get the song that you love but it is a bit jazzed up at the same time, something with a good beat. im not a chav or anything, i like all sorts of music, just some remixes wow me. :-)

(Count makes a note to refer to keyboards as 'synth stabs' to appear down wiv d' kids)

[benny3008]

This one for example is brilliant!

That is like farting in a lift. Wrong on so many levels.

benny - I like some remixes - the ones which are done sympathetically but a lot of them are just poor attempts to make a quick buck off the back of other peoples talent.

I used to listen to a rock and roll band from the 70's called Mud and had a few albums which i loved. It wasn't until years later that I realised all the tracks (or most of them) were remakes of old 50's songs (which true R&R fans probably hated). Nothing changes, see!

[benny3008]

I think you would probably have a different opinion if it came on when you were in a club having a few drinks, i bet this would perk you up!

[Count-A-Strong]

Yep. I quite like that one.
