DPS: Remixes and Reflections - The NIN Edition, is up!

This episode features two Dead Poets Society remixes of songs by Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, our 2005 remix of “Only”, and a fresh remix of “Survivalism” that is only available in this podcast! I also de-lurk and say hello. The podcast is now available on iTunes! Please let us know what you think!

Enjoy it. Save it. Spread it around.  Everyone needs a little R and R once in awhile, right?

Cylon #6 by John Anealio

John Anealio has a great blog full of Geek, Sci-fi, and Fantasy songs. He posted “Cylon #6” in June of 2009 after being inspired by Battlestar Galactica and particularly Tricia Helfer.  I enjoyed the song, but felt I could bring out his inner Jimmy Buffett a bit more with some small mix changes. The structure is nearly identical, but the pacing is slightly slower and I reworked the levels to give it a bit more of a Pop feel. I also brought out his vocals a bit more.  The result was this mix. 

 

Hope you enjoy it.

:)

Remixes and Reflections

We’ve done some remixes over the years for other bands. Many of them have been, or still are available on sites like mp3.com, soundclick.com, etc. We figured it was about time that we collect them all in one place, and furthermore to make them available as a podcast,  and RSS Feed to anyone who would like to keep up with them. Occasionally, we may add our recollections and reflections to the feed, which should spice things up once in awhile. We also may provide you with previews of new, or other previously unheard tracks, as well.

 

Enjoy the first one we’ve posted. It is our extremely popular remix of Depeche Mode’s “I Feel Loved (dead poets society)” mix.

Moving Hands reviews Decomposition: Reinventing Minefield.

MovingHands.net

   ” …I haven’t heard the original versions so I have no idea how this sounds compared to that, but this sounds great. The vocals performed by Tamara Kent are great, a clear and crisp voice, at times invincible, indestructible, at times terribly fragile, as if she could break any second. Tamara’s voice reminds me a lot of Tori Amos, especially on “It’s too late”, where the piano treatment resembles the sound of Amos as well, only the surroundings here are a bit more industrial.
    The remix provided by Dead Poets Society is truly magnificent, ever growing, ever changing, the vocals layered over simple electronics and great noisy beats with the piano floating on top…”

Decomposing Composers!

We now have copies of Decomposition: Re-Inventing Minefield available. The mixes are taken from MINEFIELD’s 2001 5 song ep entitled `After The Ball” and feature the work of 10 international artists of the Electronic/Goth genre. The compilation was conceived by music publicist Jett Black of Nocturnal Movements. DECOMPOSITION features a wide palette of sound skillfully woven together to form an exquisite 55+ minute musical tapestry. Trance, Industrial, Trip-hop, Ambient, Punk and Techno treatments are all on the menu. Fans of Dead Poets Society, Soy Futura, Soviet Radio, Karl Mohr , Spectre VII, Cryptomnesia, Blue Mars, Bytet, Ingrown and The Synthetic Dream Foundation will delight at these new interpretations of Minefield classics. `The mixes on this disc really do underscore our electronic influences and push the envelope as far as experimentation goes’ claims Tamara Kent, vocalist and lyricist for MINEFIELD.

If you are interested in picking up a copy for yourself keep an eye on CDbaby.com. The album is scheduled to be available there later this month. We will be certain to let everyone know once it is up.
