I listened to the "Love Kills (Rank 1 Remix)", thanks for the link, fairydandy. This is enough for me to not buy this double CD: I like Queen music because I don't enjoy listening to music like the "Rank 1 Remix". If I want to hear such material, I buy some techno CDs by DJ somebody. Mainly the second mix is truly awful. It looks like I already own the original Freddie music on the CDs and I won't spend my hard earned money on some recycling.

I fully understand that viewpoint. For me, this is of far more value than PR doing his Karaoke Queen versions....but then I like dance music too...so..;-)

Absolutely - it's matter of taste. If you like trance, it's perfect for you. I prefer old fashioned Rock music. I don't see the connection to PR but if it's only an example - I prefer PR, who is a living artist with a soul, to any dance remix any time:)

Yeah, sorry, I'm trying to forget PR..it was an unnecessary point.

Wow, what a tracklist. This is bloody marvellous. I must be dreaming. Finally, I can die peacefully.
"CD 1 ends with a stunningly moving version of Mercury’s Guide Me Home performed by Swiss jazz pianist and Blue Note artist Thierry Lang"
Yawn.
Yawn.

On that matter, isn't it about time Richard updated this board so that you can have PM's? Are you a member of QOL? PM me there if you are.

Ok.
I'm gutted - tons of new dance remixes by a bunch of artists who (outside that genre) no-one has heard of, and who more than likely didn't give a shit about Freddie or his music but have been given loads of cash to do a mix. If Brian has been overseeing the project (as he states on his soapbox) I thought at least we may get some mixes/new versions with extra new stuff on from him and/or Roger.
In addition, we get a few tracks plucked from the Mr Bad Guy and Barcelona albums which we all have already. I wouldn't bet against the audio book thing just being the David Wigg interviews from the FM Box Set with nothing new added, and the 2 DVD just being the solo videos and The Untold Story too - i.e. nothing new of any note whatsoever.
Let's hope at least that the mooted ITV documentary features brand new interviews with all the important players in Freddie's life as promised. Although I haven't watched it for ages, am I right in remebering that Roger and John don't feature at all, and Brian only briefly in The Untold Story? Pretty crap for a documentary about Freddie to miss out what could be argued to be the three most important people in his life!!

Thanks for that link fairydandy :)
I think the vocal version is almost good.. if it were structured a little better and not so long, but nearly all techno-type remixes suffer this problem.
The dub... well, dub versions are never too great on their own. I think the idea is for them to be extra stuff for club DJs to play around with mixing.
Heck, maybe one of these new mixes (not just of these two) will result in a club hit for Freddie this year.. that can't be bad, right? :)
