Xymox - Winning Mix From Xymox Phoenix Of My Heart Remix Contest download free

Tiv

I remember finding this record in a bin someplace and I loved the original track, so I bought it. I knew it was the winning mix of a remix contest, so I didn't expect a whole lot from it. It's odd because I do like the mix very much. It's a solid groove, although it suffers from one problem: the vocals. Having no access to the master tapes, the remixers simply pitched up the track to where the vocals start going into Mickey Mouse territory. I am also not exactly sure which speed the record is intended to be played on, it's not listed anywhere on the item. You can't play it on 33 1/3 though, because then everything sounds seriously distorted, so I think they intended for you to play it on 45 rpm and just deal with the vocals being pitched up too high. I know this was a long long time ago, there was no digital technology available that would allow a DJ to adjust the tempo of the vocals without pitching up or down, so these guys were creative in that they pulled it off. Crazily enough, the mix still works with this liability. The funky groove was of its time, and it still sounds good to me in 2009. It's just odd that this was the winning mix. I wonder what the other entries sounded like???
