    Remixed Viva wow! i was so excited when i saw you were going to put one out.I love it,but the only thing that disapointed me was the vocals on “love comes”,”love don’t live here” were alittle to slow and didn’t sound like the girls.The vocals on “extraordinary” we’re a little to fast.(to mini mouse).Over all the remixed album is great.Hopefully you can do a remix of “sounds Of Silence” & the side “here comes the rain”. That would be cool.Even if you didn’t A remix album of Drama & Exotica would be awsome as well.

      Thanks for your feedback…

      It’s hard working with non-acapella vocals – I had to play with the pitch of the vocals to match the key of the other track. In most cases the tempo is actually faster, but the pitch moves up or down to fit. In the case of Love Comes and Love don’t Live Here I thought they still retained the girls’ sound pretty well. I knew Extraordinary was pushing it, but figured it still sounded OK on this hi-nrg track, so went with it.

      More remixes to come definitely.

    I’m Loving this set, as you know I’m a big fan of LeeJ’s mixing, there hasn’t been one I haven’t liked :-)

    I LOVE the ‘Rapture’ mix, the iiO version is one of my all time favourite records, so am thrilled Bananarama did it..this mix ramps it right up!! I think Lee used the same base for the ‘Do Not Disturb’ remix, which is stomping!

    I’m a bit late to this … but fantastic job! I like all of them, but my favourite is Rapture Disco Heartache … I loved it when it was mixed with Do Not Disturb!

    Fantastic all around!
