Wow, but here's the real question: who will do the remixes? -Andrew -- Propecia: Are you taking enough? http://www.calvin.edu/~asmith89/

Gotta have RDJ's "Come to Daddy" playing softly in the background (the church paraphrases that song in practice as it is; why not take it to the next level?). Make a video! Have little kids with pope-faces chasing people around with rosaries. Put some life back into the Vatican. They haven't had any real fun since the renaissance (an unfounded accusation of witchcraft and heresy used to MEAN something, dammit!). Those were the days, Edith! --Andy Wells, CTA (=Catholic-turned-agnostic)

Hmm, that's one for the books. The artists involved could risk excommunication! But yeah, I say 2xCDs or 4xLPs. One disc should be mellow ambient/IDM remixes and the other disc should be hard, pounding dancefloor fodder, and it must be DJ friendly. "Abba Pater: The Sanctified Remixes Pt.1&2" Yeah, I can see it. -Andrew -- Propecia: Are you taking enough? http://www.calvin.edu/~asmith89/

Moby, Marilyn Manson, Madonna (or whoever she hires) and Kirk Franklin.

I vote Brinkmann, Kenny Larkin, AFX, Alec Empire, Andrew Weatherall, µ-ziq, Luke Vibert, The Orb, and Coldcut. Some of the most consistently excellent remixers in my experience... Hell, do a 2CD/4x12" set. Surgeon needs to be on there too, for what he did with Mogwai's "Fear Satan." This could be a great record, my God. Si Begg. Global Communication. A Guy Called Gerald. Ian O' Brien. Dave Angel. Plastikman. Mark Bell. Will Web. The possibilities are endless with spoken (Holy) word. Bedouin Ascent! blah blah blah etc. etc.... Would remixing the Pope be blasphemy? Tom
