Can we have the UW bootleg synth version that was played before the release of Barking?

Or a b-side.

Disclaimer: I don't like the original. Generic beat, generic guitar, generic vocals = generic vocal house (with "vocal house" being the most insulting genre label an electronic-music song may attain).

This is the one titled "Klaxon Handclap Cheapster Mix", right?

As they say, it barely resembles the original. Drones out like an endless buildup. At least it's interesting.

As annoying as Mr. Plant's "normal" remix (cf. above), albeit in an infinitesimally different way.

Handclap time again. Unbearable on first listen. Now, comparing it to the alternatives, it's comparatively enjoyable as well as more appealing than the original.

Where do I buy the single?

seriously how many remixes, original or not, are liked by fans of the band or any band, they are there to serve a purpose, but really not worth assessing each one, people like to add their own remixes - and play them out so that the track fits in a set, and in all honesty most dj's rarely play the original, as its usually too radio - hence millions of dodgy mixes.

whatever mixes do officially surface - one or two might please one or two fans, but thats about it. i love remixes, more music and variations, but are they better than the original - almost never... compare and judge away, but don't expect enjoyment from the experience

remixes in the internet age are meaningless megabytes in the system, use them wisely, i say

I think I see what you're getting at BSS...

There absolutely has (in this day and age) been a glut of too many remixes of tracks, where QUANTITY outweighs QUALITY

having said that - there are some bands that seem to still overtly try to 'seek out' certain producers who can/will remix tracks to a level that are "at least as good" / "better" than the original... Depeche Mode springs to mind for example.

on the flip side - UNKLE (in recent years) seem to just try to get as many remixes as possible out of a single track (and most of them are crap)

what's so disappointing about the remixes off of the "Barking" tracks - is that:

A) We KNOW that there are unreleased tracks from the album, or at least songs from sessions that led up to the album.

B) I always thought the point of "Barking" was that it was supposed to be a 'dialogue' between UW and the other producers, where UW would give a track to someone, they'd give it back, and then UW would do "a version of their version" (which I don't really think happened)

C) Actually decent remixes of the "Barking" singles have been few and far between... Like SBTRKT's "Bird1" Breakage's "Always Loved a Film" ... but beyond that... not so much...

Evan? Is that you?

I fell in love with DiaJig (my nickname for it) with this video, i love the vibe of it:

I think the closest thing released so far is the demo.

On other fantasies: I think they should beg Steve Reich to do a remix of DiaJig... I think it would be brilliant to hear a pulsed out version, but don't get me wrong they really should release vanhalenvanhalen version(synth version)
