"New York at Last" - Queens New York demo rebuilt and remixed...

Hmmm.. VERY interesting! I'm still inclined to think it must be positive..

Now that I know they're aware of this thread I'm afraid to say anything else. LOL! Hi guys!

I hope it is positive :)

I think that if the majority of Queen fans actually liking a remix is a good thing. Brian should acknowledge that.

However, if Brian just heard it and replied 'interesting' according to your email Jeffrey, that's a bit ambiguous. Why didn't Brian said 'I like it' or 'I hate it', but for leaving a bit of ambiguity in that snippet for further discussion sounds kind of scary LOL

Let's hope for a good reaction :)

Can you hop into the chat room for a bit Marie?

I think it'll be ok. The only bad could be to do with an unsolicited mix. Who knows? I'm hoping it's good news. I'm sure Brian will get a kick out of the track.

Actually reading it again, I think they may have put a brief mention just to let folks know that they are aware of it and to stop emailing them :-P

Just a theory!

Hi Smash,

We saw your reply only now, and the Cult/Doors "Youth" mix unfortunately isn't there anymore...
Apparently the short while was too sort... :-(
But thanks anyway!

I have the same impression, DF. But, hey, it's going to be discussed, that's great! Can you imagine if they decide to put a Queen + Smash single out? :D

To Queenland:
E aí, Henrique, qualé? Eu peguei as mixes. Qualquer coisa te passo por email. O meu é arnaldosilveiraATuol.com.xx . (Substitua "AT" pelo sinal de arroba e "xx" por "br"). Abraço!

Cheers,

It's not really a Queen remix as it is, as it is just a Freddie demo remixed with Brian's guitar parts from those two other songs mixed in, so it's really a Freddie Mercury & Brian May + Smash project...unless Brian or Greg gives Smash access to mastertapes so he can make a special single remix.

I would like to see this mix released as a single and made into a video somehow :)

Absolutely impressive stuff, and despite the quality I think that it would open a Pandora's box for a Queen + anybody remix market. I can't see Jim Beach and company giving a cent to anyone for using copyrighted Queen material and samples to make their own mix. Having said that, fantastic initiative and I hope to be proven wrong even though I believe Queen lost their way when they went dance/pop-py and this song is in that vein.

* bored *
Yeah, Dark. I certainly know that. I meant an improved version, with better access to files given to Smash. I was not trying to be that precise.
* rushes to hear it once more, to see if there is even a little of bass and drums from Queen there, maybe on the SYW part, just to prove Dark wrong. :) *

Big Black,

"I think that it would open a Pandora's box for a Queen + anybody remix market."

I fully agree. Just dreaming :)

But isn't that exactly what happened with Vanguard's Flash remix, and wasn't there also a remix of Living On My Own done in a similar fashion?

I think money is money, and whatever makes them money, makes them money. (Money is the key factor here). The only floodgate that will be open is a rush of people who think they can produce good remixes. Too many remixes will kill the golden goose, I think, and that may limit QP's willingness.

Impressive impressive work!

I think it's great..better than my version of Another One Bites the Dust...the non-existant version.

Hi Smash/Arnaldo

Got the mix, thank you very much!
No idea why the link did not worked for me yesterday :)
