NME has made a list op 50 best remixes here: http://www.nme.com/p...ever/225665/1/1
In my opion they are a bit too contemperary (is that the right word? What I mean is too much of the recent music genre) with quite a few DFA and Soulwax remixes in there. Chems hold 2 spots with Slow rated higher than Voodoo People. What real strange is that Pendulums remix of Voodoo People is rated higher than the Chemical Brothers one (see above). For myself I'm missing Trentemoller in that top 50. He has made some ace remixes.
What do you guys think of this list?

There were definitely a number of DFA remixes in there. Was there more than one Soulwax remix?
I don't know that they were too contemporary--it's difficult to make a timeless remix, I think, because a lot of time the remixes of the time reflect the certain styles of club music to an exaggerated extent. Just my initial thought, though.
I thought they did a decent job and managed to include a number of remixes from as far back as 1990.

I think that they got about half of this list correct -- I'm really impressed that, e.g., they put "Where Is Home" (Burial remix) on their list, but some others I just don't get, like "Animal" (Fake Blood remix)
You know what, I could put a much better list of 50 remixes together, and I am! Look for my post soon. Anyone else up for the challenge?

Can somebody please post the list here? My shitty connection doesn´t let me see it
I think Soulwax are the best remixers of the last years, or a least they have delivered a good bunch of vertiginous ones. I´d say Holy Ghost are the best of this decade we have started. Check out the Moby and LCD Soundsystem ones. Amazing!

the list is okay - some crap in there, some epic remixes, some fails good to see soulwax in there a number of times, however not with what their best mixes are IMO (gosspi? klaxons? c'mon...) and amongst the top 3 some massive hit singles which were made famous not as original but remix (justive vs simian, tori amos, cornershop). however - no mbv remixes in there? kevin shields(mbv is responsible for some of the best remixes ever!
love is all.
