Pjanoo is great still, classic 90's piano line and I think most of the Pryda project has a 90's design brief.
I really love this remix by High Contrast:
This is also excellent:
but the Original 7min version is better. The Axwell remix is decent too http://www.youtube.c...h?v=2AVD9GLf3EQ

I don´t get all the Eric Prydz hate. I´ve liked a lot of his stuff but the Call on me stigma seems to be a heavy cross for him. It has become annoying with the time but it happens with many songs,no? *cough* Daft Punk´s One more time *cough*
Well it's just music snobbery, many users here, including myself will identify with this trait even though it's just plain stupid. If something becomes popular it's no longer good, is how the rule goes. This does have some merit, take for instance Rage Against the Machine: Killing in the Name, which was a brilliant powerful song but then there was the X-Factor-who should be at Number One-sharade which was a great earner for the record company who owned rights to both competing singles and now I have to share my love of a track with 13 year old girls shouting "FUCK YOU, I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME!" when they have to do their homework. Now the track is tarnished for me, like a beautiful French model named Nicolé who I love and cherish but she has a smear of horse shit on her face and nobody has the guts to tell her, so I sit and talk, but I can no longer make sweet love to her.

It's true, there is some of this, but isn't it safe to say that much of the stuff that becomes popular is so because it has catered to the lowest common denominator? Perhaps a lot of the stuff that is popular just isn't very good. Songs like Call On me remain a huge commercial crossover success while the album Further is a relatively unknown work of art rarely discussed outside of our circle.
That's not to say that everything popular is bad or everything underground is good. But, the masses do tend to gravitate to dumb ass stuff and only stumble on integrity every once in a while, even if by accident.
Gonna work it out...

Oh fo sho! is the kind of thing they say, and I detest them too.

So...the Vince Clarke and Alan Wilder tracks are up.
The soundcloud videos are available via www.slicingupeyeballs.com
http://www.slicingup...emixes-2-81-11/
Fans of The Pixies might recognize the website's name. The site covers the genre of 80's college rock, which was essentially the alternative of the alternative that became the retro mainstream of today. Anyone a fan back in the day? Whirly perhaps? Anyway, the site is not too shaby in covering some artists of the time. Check it out.
Back on topic, the Clarke and Wilder tracks are cool. The intro is a bit long for me on Wilder's mix, but overall these are pretty good and what most fans were waiting for.
I'll be buying this album for sure.
