Stu Mountain offered to make a video for my remix of the Buggles. I reckon he did a pretty damn awesome job. Remix was made from the original stems. Stu worked wonders with the original video and has knocked it out of the park!
I was just 5 then, 48 now. Original was so great. I stumbled across this remix recently. It is very very well done. Make it hard to believe the original song from way back in our younger happy days is very same song!
i remember camping out in the living room to watch a legend come to life! Mtv was born...and it's very first video was the Buggles: Vudeo killed the radio star! Needless to say it has always been a favorite of mine and I Love this remix!
Brilliant! My only critique is that you have Debi Doss image in the TV when it is actually Linda Allan singing. Linda deserves full credit for her angelic voice.
The brilliant innovative Trevor Horn created the original I wonder what what he would think of this,Trevor is the guy in white horn rimmed glasses playing guitar
And then the Lawyers killed the video and MTV turned into a 24 hour a day social services welfare office with a lot of fastfood and weight loss commercials .
(Speed it up a little?), then start at 2m. 08 secs. (or even 2m. 25 s.) , end on 4m. 54 s. or just listen to the original! I understand there might be a market for people who can't dance to the original version, but this completely kills the brilliant piece of pop that the original is. NO offence meant to the excellent remixer, technically it is very nicely done, but, what's the point? Surely no one would listen to this at home or in the car, etc. So, just DJs who think their audience won't be able to dance to the original? Party pooper review, apologies, but really, you can't improve a slice of genius. Maybe I should have subscribed to the "If you don't like it, don't comment" way of life, but I'd already listened twice and written this before I thought that maybe I shouldn't be so negative! I'm just one voice in a crowd, though.
I get that it’s not for everyone. I made it so I could drop it into my sets when djing as the og is 132ish bpm. Longer intro and outro is so I can mix it in. I love the original - I’ve always been of the try and capture the essence/groove of the track school.
