I can ...Hi Vinny, The mixes of BP are really sweet. I can hear the respect you have for the group. This is as big a Christmas present as the Christmas EP. Anyway just discovered your blog and it's fantastic hearing your insights. I still have the import Tori Amos Cd single with your great mixes of "In The Springtime Of His Voodoo" which I adored as a teenager. I would love to hear the process and story behind those mixes.<br /><br />Also - I hope you get the opportunity to work with Bananarama again, Viva is a great album but a little overcooked - It'd be interesting to see what direction you could take a few of the songs. Merry Christmas!<br /><br />JohnnyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-68803012652876584612009-12-06T13:30:56.679-05:002009-12-06T13:30:56.679-05:00@Daddy or Chips - Thanks for the kind words.

Seems they have had the desired effect!<br /><br />At this point, PSB are a heritage act. It's unlikely they will have success beyond their fanbase. But anything is possible, especially with the internet. You never know when something will resonate with the public.<br /><br />I'm really thrilled about the transparency of the internet. Blogging puts me in touch with so many people in ways we couldn't have imagined. And I really enjoy getting immediate feedback on creative endeavors. <br /><br />Ten years ago, I would work on a project and the reactions to it could be delayed for up to a year if a record didn't come out right away.Vinny Verohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11167457760151973169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-5979522212122217052009-12-06T13:09:54.693-05:002009-12-06T13:09:54.693-05:00@Minge - Happy to hear the mixes are to your likin...@Minge - Happy to hear the mixes are to your liking.

It's an important part of the process when I'm producing a remix.<br /><br />I'm always amazed anyone remembers any of the projects I've produced. "Prove You Love" is one of my favorites.

You always have such a knack for retaining the essence of the original songs yet elevating it and creating something altogether uplifting. All three are terrific and it would have been a shame for these to not have seen the light of day. (I love the artwork too!

Thanks for...Vinny- you're the best brother man. Thanks for the zip. We all know that EMI handled this release like shit but here's who I would have went with the remixes; I'm going to toss a few names out there...<br /><br />1. Danny Tenaglia (US)<br />2. Kaskade (US)<br />3. Ben Watt (UK)<br />4. Eric Prydz (Sweden)<br />5. Joris Voorn (Holland)<br />6. Lindstrom (Norway)<br />7. Josh Gabriel (US)<br />8. Serge Santiago (UK)<br /><br />EMI should know their target audience- fans of PSB want something better than some generic remix from some middle of the road producer. The same sounds, percs, arrangements, etc. get really old after a while. On the contrary, this is something Depeche Mode (Capitol) does EXTREMELY well. One can tell when labels truly have their ear to the ground and finger on the pulse. We are in the midst of an italo/synth pop/80s (hipster) reemergence and EMI has done a poor job capitalizing on this. Take a look at the labels, players and publishing companies cannibalizing the market place right now- Ultra Records (Patrick Moxey), V2 (Richard Branson), Interscope (Lyor Cohen) and David Geffen (as always). Similiar if not identical labels who carved up the sounds in the 80s (Warner, Geffen, Sony, Elektra, Capitol). No small coincidence. The average music consumer, especially fans of PSB, are certainly able to consume and digest these sounds again. Take a look at the US Top 40- ALL dance music. EMI dropped the ball on this one from an objective business point of view, but I take it personal because it's PSB. One of my professors always says, "Don't get too close to the music." Regardless, one has to be pissed off whether you're a fan of PSB or not because of the potential amount of revenue that could've been earned in this particular scenario. Shame on EMI and Parlophone- I expect better from them. Nothing is to be taken for granted, not even a successful duo PSB and that's exactly what happened. <br /><br />-DanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-36659081709792900462009-12-03T09:04:58.251-05:002009-12-03T09:04:58.251-05:00Thank you.

You were very kind to post them here. I also agree with your comments about the Yes project--fabulous album, not really handled all that well. It was EMI's chance to prove that they were worthy of getting them back in America, only to suffer under the bad timing of recessionary disarray. I don't think I saw or heard a single PSB song or video anywhere in the US this year other than in my store and at their concert.countpopulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14353668830179023892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558055401220732192.post-49889190313483995442009-12-02T21:57:33.515-05:002009-12-02T21:57:33.515-05:00Thank You!!
