[kj] killing joke rmxd

[B. Oliver Sheppard]

Yeah, if anything, I like to listen to the rougher, demo versions, or 
alternate takes of songs. Rarely remixes. "Remix" to me often seems like 
code for "something we made slick with a techno beat for a night club 
somewhere."

HOWEVER, the "remix" of "We Have Joy" at the end of remastered 
Revelations CD -- that is awesome. It is not a dance club remix. It is 
actually a much harsher version of the song, I think, bringing out Big 
Paul's tribal drumming a lot more and cranking some guitars up. I's not 
techno night clubber fodder at all, but a pretty harsh redaction. I like 
that. But usually gimme a demo instead of a remix.
