Hi, Smash!
CONGRATS!!! I loved what you did with New York. I think the synths stuff is one of the faces Queen had (has?). I prefer the first records, but I'm still a big fan of electronic music as well as of rock'n roll.
I believe the Brian/Roger composition "Machines", specially the 12" version, to be a lost link between rock and electronics. I think that could've been the path for Queen to date. IMHO Brian and Roger would blend perfectly if they decided to follow that path and then they'd be the future of music for the first half of this century. :D

BTW, you're surrounded with good people. I like most of the other recordings I've heard from your site. Keep on!
Cheers,
Ogre-

Smash, Brian has heard your mix :)
I quietly pointed it out to him.. others probably did too. I wasn't going to say that I did until I just got this reply so I have to brag:
-------------
hmmm ..... VERY interesting !
Love Brian

"Love"? hehe
I hope he has good feelings about it. If he sues you or something I'd feel like shit :-P

Just excellent!
The positive response will inevitably give way to the same dreary tiresome "its not really Queen/Queen was 4 people/there is no Queen without our dear angel Freddie/I haven't liked a Queen record since 1978" negativity that a lot of Queen fans seem to thrive on (especially when anything that deviates from their preconceptions appears), but I just wanted to say (and in fact I bothered to register just to post this) that you've created a great track. It may not be 'Queen' but its Queen enough for me. Its got a great spirit and vibe about it, the vocal is well respected, the Brian samples are very nice, and even the dancier synth aspect can be seen as a nice tip of the hat to "Radio Ga Ga" and some of Queen's other diversions into dance music and synthetic sound. I've been a Queen fan for ages and ages, and your mix has really put a smile on my face. If your target audience was the average Queen fan, then you've hit a bullseye with me. I have no idea what kind of hoops you might have to jump through to do a proper version and get Queen's endorsement or support, and I won't hold my breath on that lovely idea happening, but if it strikes Brian's fancy, I'd say its an outside possibility. If that Janis Jpolin remix can be a hit, then this definitely could and deservedly so. So fingers crossed, terrific work, and best of luck with the mix.
WOW, f**** amazing!!!!
Wow! this is quite a rollercoaster so far - continued thanks for feedback.
Armaldo - thanks for checking out some of my other stuff.
Deacon Fan - "I hope he has good feelings about it. If he sues you or something I'd feel like shit :-P"
He-He....LMAO! (nervously). I have failed miserably to get Brian's address to send a proper package to - not without want of trying though!
Dr Zoidberg - I'm quite overwhelmed that you registered purely to give feedback on the mix - what can I say? :o)
El Shileno - f***** thank you!!!! :oP

Smash, I've sent you an email with additional information :)
Hey this is really brilliant what you've done, it would be really cool when this song gets a release. you've got the talent to fit different parts of music fluently intogether.
I also liked what you've done with a Doors and The Who song.

Hi Smash! Just downloaded the "Under Pressure"-plus-Jacko-Mix. Stunning how this totally different pieces of music fit together.
As for the "New York"-work: I keep my fingers crossed that our blessings might be heard and Brian (or Queen Prod.) might find a way to release it officially. May it be...

Just one question: Where did you get the vocals for this remix?? I want those vocal tracks!
Nice question, Inu. EQ-ing tricks on the original piano n vocal? Or is it phase inverting stuff?
Peace,
Adam.
Peace,
Adam.
May i ask something else? Where are the samples from Save Me and Spread your Wings? I feel really disoriented and shamed but i didn't find them!
Thanx
Thanx
Where is the Under Pressure with Jacko mix? I can't find it on your site Smash....please let me know. I absolutly LOVE LOVE LOVE the Freddie mix....it's just amazingg man.!
If you listen to 'Spread Your Wings', at around 3:22 there's an echoey guitar sustain (am I using the right term?) which is used a few times in the remix.
As for 'Save Me', I'm assuming it's the other guitar stuff you hear though I can't pinpoint a specific riff.
I find this whole thing very exciting. Brian has definitely heard it, and Greg Brooks has heard it, said he was 'quite impressed' and asked me about it so I gave him Smash's email addy so there should be contact between them all soon enough.
Of course I ran the risk of putting myself into the middle of something that has nothing to do with me, but I felt this was really worthy of being heard on a wider scale so I used a previous reply from Brian to mention it.
