"Renegade Spezial Edit" available now... In this neck of the woods anyhow. Don't mind this mix, of course it ends annoyingly soon. Edited by user 13 October 2020 15:24:01(UTC)

So guess this is the edited version of "Bernard's Renegade Mix". Sounds potentially more interesting that the regular single versions, but as Depthcharge stated, it's extremely short - only 3:10, and the beat doesn't kick in until 1:52 - so looking forward to the full length version of this mix for sure!

Listened on Spotify. Not sure about it on first couple listens. There’s a LOT of vocoder.

For those without spotify - it's also on the NO youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZrY0yEb130some nice breakdowns, but not sure what the point of releasing this edit is? Just give us the damn 12" already!

It's whetting our appetite for the 12" and CD single, which is frustratingly still 4 weeks away. Better than nothing at this point, though.
Much prefer the way this mix is headed over the original one. The instrumentation on the original mix is a bit safe and I found it dropped off my daily playlist alarmingly quickly despite liking the vocal line, which I think (credit to Bernard) is the best element of the song hands down.
Really looking forward to hearing Steve's remix and Reeder's too.

Yes, there is nothing available for pre-order but I'm simply going on the band's the official web site. The single is available digitally now and will be followed by 12”, CD and a digital bundle, featuring remixes.Be a shame if that is not happening now, but we'll have to wait and see. I imagine if it does happen it will be like the Music Complete era CD singles I.e. 5 or 6 tracks encompassing everything.

Thanks for the embedded youtube, -1.
I may be the only one but c.30 seconds in, this synth bass reminds me a bit of WIM (Subbuteo) Remix.
I like it. 👍

I'm sure it'll happen. I can't see them backing down now.

Restless added the Agoria Dub. Tutti Frutti added the Tom Rowlands Remix (which was added to the UK Singularity disc) and the Tokkyu Shino Remix. Singularity added the JS Zeiter Remix Instrumental. People on the High Line was released after the box, but I'm not aware of a Japanese issue of that single.

Of course there will be a CD single - this is Mute.
The 12" initially offered up is billed as limited edition on grey vinyl. I'm sure there will be a standard black 12", a CD single, and a bundle of both with possibly something else like a t-shirt available as we get closer to the official November release date. Since this is one-off single - not tied to an album campaign (i.e. several singles to spread things out) - I would imagine all the mixes are available on the CD. It's not even a particularly dancey song, so how many remixes can there be?

What about the Takkyu Ishino remix? I regret my error. Not sure why I messed that up so badly. I have the Japanese box and the 12" with that mix (the last record, barring what's in the Definitive boxes, that I will ever buy).

What a sneaky little track 'Be A Rebel' is.
It's been out for over a month, sounded like a demo when I first heard it and left me indifferent (see my previous post in this thread)... Yet... The bugger has been creeping up on me in the last week or so. I think I actually like it now. Most songs by any artist take no more than three or four listens until i really decide if I like them or not, but there's suddenly something about this after many listens with no reaction. I think the edit of Bernard's remix teases a more sophisticated version that may well be the best version, but I'm now enjoying its positive lyrics and string sounds that reminds me a little bit of 'Regret' - particularly in my favourite few seconds of the song at the "there will come a day" start of the second verse.. In fact, I think the song is evocative of 'Republic', but in a nice, sunny 1993 way.
By no means anywhere near their best song, but I've definitely warmed to it. Looking forward to the twelve inch next month. Definitely a very slow burner.

Still really liking it, maybe even more so.The synths that come in at around 10 seconds on the edit and around 14 seconds on the full are classic NO, up there with their finest moments on record.I'm serious, they really stir the feels as the kids say or might say these days.Bernard's lyrics , despite seeming maybe a bit naff at first, are great and i like his vocal on Be A Rebel.Yeah, some of the sounds elsewhere on the song are a little generic and unimaginative but the upbeat feel and vibe to the song wins you over that.

Perfectly up to standard, but the opening of Ceremony still sends shivers down the spine. Imagine Be A Rebel in 2060....
