Makes sense, if you despise remixes that much. But what do you do when the first time you hear a theme you are actually listening to a remix? Do you then dig up the original and say "Yes, that's how it's supposed to be.", or do you think of the remix as the standard by which other remixes and the original are judged? |
It's not the track I have the problem with, it's the waste of a musician's time doing it. Like you put Kenji Yamamoto on DKCR and three years later he's done what anyone with a piano and a computer could do in recreating the DKC soundtrack. I value the melody of a track far more than its implementation.
To your question: Sometimes remixes can be better, sometimes they can be the real version of the track for me, yes. But I'd just rather they didn't 99% of the time. I do go and find the original mostly.
I have found out certain tracks are remixes and never listened to them again. It's probably irrational at this point.
