For a great carl craig remix, check out his remix of spacetime's Kairo on remit recaps. While the truly beautiful original kairo is hardly anymore recognizable in the remix, it's still a slammin' detroit track with relaxed, warm synths that is no way monotonous. Do remixes _have_ to improve the original? IMO, if a remix improved the original, the original usually was weak. Remixes should be listened to as new, seperate tracks that allow you to draw paralleles to the original, and if a remix comes close in quality to the original, the remixer did his job. --tom
