Regarding the henrik schwarz and dixon remix. It is mentioned in an interview with Ame ...

Dutch

"We zijn gevraagd door Underworld om de single van hun nieuwe album te remixen, samen met Henrik Schwarz en Dixon. Het origineel is al heel erg goed - een soort discohousekraker - dus dat wordt een leuk project."

English translation

"We are asked by Underworld to remix the single from their new album, together with Henrik Schwarz and Dixon. The original is very good - sort of a discohousestomper - so that will be a nice project."

Source : http://www.djbroadcast.nl/features/f...wantiteit.html

So ... i'm not sure if Ame was talking about HS and Dixon remixing Crocodile. I can not see the disco/house reference to Crocodile.

=== Edit ===
@ big screen satellite 10.33
Quentin is a NYC house producer/DJ (think Erick Morillo-style). I think he is asked especially for the USA market.
Just like Ame he mixed a "Coast2Coast" compilation with deep groovy tunes.
I totally agree with the Ame statement. Best remix so far ...

thanks, i knew the source personally but the people here may also want the link - i'm not sure - but having heard a snippet of the Ame remix it is more stompier than the original (and from the snippet i heard is the best remix!)

likewise, i'm not sure what track Quinetin Harris has mixed as he's classed as hip hop, jazz, electronic according to Discogs...but is classed as Deep House on his myspace page...

it is quite possible that there are some session tracks not on the album that these guys have remixed that will be on future singles / releases - who knows (yet)

[gaborez]

to add to the list:
i believe there is also a pete heller dub mix of crocodile which i'd like to hear...

[lloyd]

it has the tracktimes also. - bonus track that is...
Yeah I've seen the pete heller dub too but it's nowhere to download or buy?

[big screen satellite]

i've updated the original post - thanks for the linky

[big screen satellite]

i'm wondering if there is a heller dub or if the Huntemann dub is confused with it... this is possible

[mark3]

seems to be a mistake, http://trafficjpn.com/underworld/newrelease.html and all other sites list it as the Oliver Huntemann Dub

[mark3]

Sorry if this is old news, but it seems Boy, Boy, Boy will be the next single: http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail/2632360

Anyone got more info? Tracks, etc..

[dubman]

ugh, really...
thats the worst one on there
