>Why does it seem that the Remixes are often better sounding it's the same reason why great reggae bands were flocking to King Tubby's mixing desk, there is an element of musical production that happens in the studio that is greatly underapreciated and somewhat unrecognized because i htink people are reluctant to admit that music made in the studio could somehow be bettyer that that created live. now ofcourse the dub greats did both, live remixes through their desks, and we all know especially good dj's know that improvisation has a lot to do with the quality of any production, but man, some people have studio skills and a sound that is just a force to be reckoned with. look at Ian Pooley's remix of CHASER on Soma. also, the word REMIX is really open for interpretation. for an absolutley amazing example of remixing at what I see as remixing at its best go out and buy : MAD PROFESSOR VS. MASSIVE ATTACK : UNPROTECTED another fine example of a great band remixed by a mad mad mad dub professor, the remix is only a remnant of the original, but damn, that is in my opinion one of the hottest pieces of electronic music ever composed.
