Beck, no question. Best of both artists.

For sheer melodic joy Poppy Seed (reprise) and for utter brilliance Broken Drum.


Incidently, when people say Poppy Seed, do they mean the reprise or the first part? Having both is fine but I just want to know what they mean.


I like the reprise a little more than the original remix they did only because of the, as you called it, "sheer melodic joy". Beautiful beautiful song. Reminds me of running in fields at 6 years old.

it's a difficult one, I think the Dead Dogs 2 remix is superb, especially compared to the original - there is so many great little sequences and details in there..... However BoC mixed with Becks vocals has got to edge it, especially given the tremendous ending, it just builds up and up with more and more detailed drumming.... fantastic!

I prefer the Poppy Seed remix over the reprise because the flute sounds are so mysterious, when I first heard it, it made my hairs stand up!

I havent heard half of these. Infact I've only heard Poppy Seed and Broken Drum. where can I find the rest?

trapped on old-tunes, and the poppy-seeds :D

really? i would have thought the newer mix is better and a lot more detailed. the old tunes one sounds like they're taking the piss. just my opinion though.

Ha ha yeah, I was just about to mention the Hell Interface version of Trapped as my other favourite remix. Both that and Midas Touch are pure gold. :wink:

1 poppy seed reprise
2 two dead dogs - Clouddead
3 Midas touch /trapped
4 broken drum - beck


poppy seed reprise is just magical i really don't know else how to describe it


The two dead dogs remix makes the song . the song was merely ok before .. but it just gave it a breath of life .


Midas touch was sooo sooo improved from the original im surprised why this song isn't played in clubs . who knew a borads of canada song you could dance too .

nova scotia robots by ciaran byrne. definitely the best BoC remix ive ever heard. just because its not pressed and under a label doesnt mean is doesnt count.

EDIT: lol, oops. remixes BY BoC! poppy seed reprise then. love that melody, classic boards.

Have to agree with this. It's awesome.
I wonder what the Sandison boys would think if they heard some of the really cool remixes that have gone around this board.

EDIT: actually i was thinking of Ciaran's Olson remix, which i think is even better.

Wow, hard to pick one. But here's things I like from a few;

The fatness of the beat in the dirty Great Mable mix

The scariness of Sandsings

but
Broken Drum is just about perfect in every way
