Mother Love (Baboolal mix)

there's some gd remixes of this song goin around now like :-D

Hey Adam...my hard drive crashed about two and a half weeks ago...I don't download alot of the fanmixes, but this one of 'Mother Love' was absolutely one of my favorites!! Could I possibly ask you to re-upload this?? I would be in your debt!! I thank you for your time...and truthfully, and this is my opinion...despite all the negative attention it got, I think I like this mix better than the original. I think Lily said it best when it had a 'atmospheric' tone to it that the orginial lacks. Having said that, the original is awesome too, with Freddie giving one of his best vocal performances ever. Anyway Adam, thank you for your time...once again!!

Righty, I didn't know the download was gone. Well, I luckily have a cd with that mix on it! I'm away from home right now, so you're very lucky indeed!

Dude...Adam...you kick ass!! I totally owe your ass a beer!! If you're ever in Southern California, look me up!!!

Having read the posts I am debating whether or not to comment on Johns response... and OK I will, well to be totally honest I feel the same about fan mixes as he does. I feel that somehow it degrades the original a little like John said, it's like repainting the sky in a constable or adding a small farm scene behind the Mona Lisa.

I do not mean to detract from the skill of doing it, but I would rather hear either original material or a new version of the song played by someone else, not a rehashed version of the original.

Without any axe to grind at all on either side I have read the posts and I really don't feel it's a personal attack on you Adam, I understand where John is coming from which is the reason I don't often come into this section, I don't like fan mixes!

To me the originals are the way I want to hear the tracks, they where created by my favorite band and anyone else playing with them is vandalism (IMO) now if you were playing your own version live that would be another story.

Just my opinion, and certainly not personal, but I will say this, if you do post something up here you have to accept that folk may bash it, after all that's why you post it, to get feedback, just because someone doesn't like it doesn't mean you have to take it personally, I have read twice the posts and I think John was pretty even handed to be honest, but sometime when things are written rather than spoken it can come across more like an attack, which I don't think was his intention here.

Anyway, that's me done.

I don't really remember it all as I tried to forget it. So, I'm not going to go back and read. But here's what I think.

Why would someone listen to something they know they're not going to agree with because they think it's wrong. And why would someone then write silly and sometimes nasty comments that don't help, and merely annoy.
It reminds me of the Brian May soapbox. People get so annoyed at the things he writes. But they still can't help but go and read his views. Now, you could be forgiven for thinking they're just searching for interesting Queen/Brian info. But it has been said here many times before, important or interesting info will be posted here at QZ.

So, here's the kicker. It's like they come here (or effectively Brian's soapbox) to get wound up so they can then post some really weird and annoying things. Gluttons for punishment? (if that's the right phrase) I really don't understand it. Why put yourself through something you know isn't going to be to your liking, only to pass on your ill feeling to the person on the receiving end, i.e. me in this case.

I don't mean you, Togg. Or even JohnSS, I guess. I just mean that people need to sit and think before passing comments on that may offend. We all have our opinions, but sometimes we should choose wisely in what we say.

But I have to ask Togg, when you say, "To me the originals are the way I want to hear the tracks, they where created by my favorite band and anyone else playing with them is vandalism (IMO) now if you were playing your own version live that would be another story." - why have you then chosen to visit this forum? That's what this forum is all about. OUR meddling with Queen related tracks.

Peace,
Adam.

Well said Adam!!!

"Why have you chosen to come to this forum?" well it was only the second time I have for just the reason I gave, and I happened to stumble on your topic so decided to comment as I felt it was something I agreed with and could comment on.

The fact is I don't listen to the fan mixes, never have, and I haven't listened to yours, I was not commenting on your version, just the concept in general.

This mix really sucks. I mean really sucks. I hope (to save yourself from embarrassment) that you DO NOT make any more mixes. You have managed to ruin a complete masterpiece. No wait, that was a understatement. This would be like drawing a picture of a pair of tits on a sheet of A4 lined paper and saying this is the equivilent of the Mona Lisa...

Thanks

O-k-a-y... I see the post I made on this very page has been passed over. Also people, note how this Mantura only has ONE post and it's made here. Sounds like someone from the general forum... Richard's on your tail bud.

If Richard asked money for every troll that is registering here, then he would already be a millionaire.

Adam, I for one think that this is amazing! It relates to the album version much like the 12" mixes relate to the original songs. It sounds really professional. "Mother Love" is one of my favourite songs and I truly enjoyed hearing this mix. Well done!

upload again files are dead

I've had this mix for well over six months, and I think it's probably my favorite one still. This one is just smokin'!!! I've commented on this track a number of times, but damn...this is just beautiful work here my friend!!
