Fine Young Cannibals ~ She Drives Me Crazy {David Z Remix}

 
Just cuz of the title, I was drawn to mention that remixes originally started off being simply longer versions of songs.. When a song was hot they would "remix" a song to be longer so people could dance to them longer at discos.

Not necessarily.

Take, for example, Duran Duran. Instead of remixing their songs (in order for people to dance to them longer at discos/nightclubs), they decided to adopt a different approach from the very beginning of their career since the early 80’s.

So, what they have always been doing is to get back to the studio & re-record (!) longer versions of their songs incorporating for that reason also more instrumental breaks.

I must admit this is a rather innovative strategy on their part.

Billy Idol's mid-'80s album Vital Idol was a rarity in the rock world: a collection of dance floor-friendly remixes.Now he's revisiting the concept with Vital Idol: Revitalized, which is coming out on Sept. 28.

Idol isn't reissuing the original LP; instead, he's giving a 21st century touch to some of his best-loved songs through remixes by various EDM producers.

He's also changed around the track listing. There's no "Love Calling," and "Mony Mony" is available only as a digital bonus track in a new version by Idol and longtime collaborator Steve Stevens.

Those tracks have been replaced by a Moby remix of "(Do Not) Stand in the Shadows," Paul Oakenfold's take on "One Breath Away," Tropkillaz's reworking of "Eyes Without a Face and Shiba San's remix of "Don't Need a Gun."

Another bonus track, the Lost Dog remix of "Save Me Now," was created by a team that includes Idol's son Willem Wolfe. You can listen to RAC's remix of "Dancing With Myself" below.
