Scritti at SoundCloud
Remix time again:
Faithless:
And Green on Marx:
Found at the excellent music hosting service of SoundCloud.
a few Perfect Ways
Sound-wise Perfect Way has that typical 80’s sound. And sure, Scritti is responsible for that :)
The thing that still does it for me is the way the song modulates from the intro into the verse and then finally into the refrain. My head is still popping off when I hear it and I am sure the same thing happened to Miles Davis. Miles did a cover of Perfect Way on his album Tutu.

Lots of effects and remixing tricks, typical 80’s stuff, but still a cool mix.

Perfect Way Remix
An interesting remix, monoish sounding (maybe caused by a ‘not so Perfect’ file-conversion?), but with a few interesting twists.

This is a very interesting one. It fooled me. At first I thought it was the original version but it’s not. The mix is different. I have not A/B compared it to the original version yet. Would be something for an interesting discussion I guess. Just leave your comments below!
Miles’ Perfect Way
I have seen Miles Davis perform Perfect Way many times here in The Hague, Holland, at the North Sea Jazz Festival. The best gigs for me were those with John Scofield on guitar. But this speedy version is also right on the money I must say!
Free Moral Agent VS. The Word Girl (edit)
Bibbly recieved this intricate remix of The Word Girl from Free Moral Agent.
Free Moral Agent VS. The Word Girl (edit)
An explanation from Free Moral Agent:
I’ll give you some clues on this mix as far as samples. All of the musical elements in this mix is derived from sounds from the song “The Word Girl”, just manipulated in certain ways: The main keyboard sounds are sampled from the end of the song, before the piano ending: I also used the vocoder at the end also for more displacement of format from the original tune: The only instrument not directly from the song is the sub-bass and a patch I created with FabFilter. Guitar is sampled from the song as well.
