remixes that are better than the original

Burial's remix of 'Wayfaring Stranger'; I personally find the Jamie Woon version to be nearly unlistenable but the level that Burial takes it to is just mindblowing...

YES. The track list could just be copy-pasted to this thread.

considering how much i love the original - this is amazing.

One of my favorite remixes ever.

Sometimes bloops+beeps turn me off, but here it works really well.

Shame the Chems don't remix much anymore...

Nothing too special, but shows Soulwax can pretty much flip anything into a decent dance song

The Orb has done some great remixes of pop songs:

seconded, it's by "Jackson and his computer band" right?

Yes same guy. Came to a realize eventually when I heard Smash. Wish he'd put another album out. It appears he still remixes as "Jackson" though.

It's great to finally know what this track is! I have a random mp3 from the old days called 'Pussy Licker' which is a mash-up of this, Windowlicker and Lil-Kim!

Yes I know that one! So it's an AFX remix of Aphex + Lil Kim + M83 remixed by Jackson...whew!

cross post, but this is a beat that contains that grizzly bear song that everyone knows. so good.

No disrespect to Madlib but I always kinda preferred the Four Tet mix of Doom's "Great Day"

All the Four Tet remixes were top notch. Koushik's were pleasant but just not different enough...or really memorable.
