Makke - Crazy Comets (Komet Non Stop 2022 re-remix)
Listening back, I wouldn’t change most tunes I have released over the years. Some have flaws, but those flaws are part of what makes them the unique pieces they are. And listening back to my earlier remixes, you can hear my learning curve in action.
However, realizing that my Crazy Comets remix was turning 20 (!) this year, I decided to revisit it. I always thought the idea deserved a better execution than the one I originally gave it. It sounds a little rushed and sparse.
I understand that the original remix is considered something of a classic by some. So I wanted to retain the same feel and atmosphere, going through quite an ordeal trying to recreate the original track as faithfully as possible. The percussion is pretty meticulous! Then I started to expand on the sound, while keeping the arrangement and flow intact. Doing as much as I could not to change the feel of the track.
I may have made a horrible mistake by doing this, as I am generally not a fan of artists meddling with their past like this, but I feel this idea has been dressed in a much more fitting sound suit this time around. If you don’t like it, there’s always the 20 year old version, and we can forget this re-remix ever happened.😉
Some interesting stuff I discovered was, for example, that the Speak & Spell voice doesn’t say C. Sixty. Four.
It says C. Sixty. Floor.
because I liked how Speak & Spell said Floor better than the way it said Four.
