I think the source track should be some bullshit Celine Dion or Bryan Adams song, something so utterly devoid of interestingness that remixing it would be a real challenge. Didn't RDJ once say he only remixes stuff he doesn't like? _Cf

hmm i dont really want to remix hanson as such.... but its probably a better alternative to The Spice Girls because the Spice Girls do have beats and synths and stuff which vaguely resemble stuff on idm rekkids....come on dont flame me! you know what i mean...? i reckon the original Celine Dion/Bryan Adams ideas were better Steve /k/./F/ The Church Of England :- Killing Foreigners for Profit and Jesus

This whole IDM remix chain idea is great, as is the idea of starting with some piece o' crap "pop" song. But why not seperate them into *two* projects? Project 1: A remix chain starting with a track by someone on IDM and continuing with mixes by other IDMers, a la Dot's "Endlessnessism". Project 2: Rather than a remix chain, have all musical IDMers interested in contributing pick some annoying, awful song of their choosing and rework it into something IDM-like. Thoughts? Greg (no musical talent, so I wont be contributing anyway)

Theyre both good ideas, i think the chain remix. / awful song idea is still best though, it would be a lot more fun and less prone to moany IDM criticism! I think it would probably be a lot more motivating as well... plus we could stick them all on a cdr and have a highly illegal disc.....

The whole pop to IDM was already partially done with the Nav Katze's "never mind the distortion" , it's a CD of remixes by The Black dog, Aphex Twin and others based on a japanese pop group; and you know what japanese pop sounds like ! :). mso imagine the results ... At least that was good, and was funny to listen too! I don't think any one can make an IDM remix of ANY celine Dion songs... without turning it into a real parody...

mult: Whoah too many people want to participate? Maybe we should have multiple remix projects. The song I'm suggesting we remix: The Princess Diana Funeral Ceremony Which is on CD for some reason...... I should start a chain. Yeah? Rusty
