Nothing will beat the original, hard floor mix is probably the best. However, although when I saw dig weed name as the remixer I did not expect much but this is ok

Anybody else bothered to make a remix now? Bland remix that edits out the beats and adds some boring downtempo new age cliches... I must admit few would think of doing that, for good reason. That new one isn't even worth the bother of trying to steal the mp3.



The Hardfloor remix is my favorite from the past also. They obviously had some reverence for the song, remaking it well with their acid machinery.


The 808 State "So Hot" Blue Monday acid house homage is always worth a listen.

Utter shit. Once upon a time the names of Digweed and Muir meant you were getting some quality. That mix is toss, and misses the point completely. Should have let Richard X have a go.

The bit from 2.37 to about 3.10 is nicely done (mostly coz it sounds like the original), but overall it is a bit of a snooze. On the upside, at least there don't seem to be any Calvin Harris or David Guetta mixes as suggested by Hooky. Small mercies...

while it's nice to recognize this version,
and being ambient doesn't really click with me.

i did like this dubstep version from awhile ago:

This may be vaguely entertaining if you have the time to go through 30 clips.
Scroll sideways through the photos for each clip. The Lee Coombs mix (well, crappy re-edit) is google-able even though they have the link wrong on here.

I listened to it and I thought it was horrible....Dead . I'm usually very open minded about remixes and covers (regardless of genre; I listen to a lot of remixes and covers of many songs, both NO and other genres) but I have to admit I like the original version from 1983 the best. Regarding 'Blue Monday', no remix comes close to the original.

i agree with your thoughts.

the original is the way to go, due to it's influence.
i like the beach also as the b-side.

awhile ago, i had fun mixing the two together.

also:

30 years is a very significant mark for this song.

Maybe only one: "Blue Monday 1988". Almost as good as the original.

I said almost...

Guess they've gone for a down tempo mix as that's about the only way it hasn't been done before. And there's a reason for that....this is dreadful, they've sucked all the life out of it.

You may not be surprised to learn that only a minority of the original members were involved in arranging this.

Nah, one of the '95 mixes was slow. I kinda liked it at the time, but that was 18 years ago.

This one is dreadful.

I always thought that the BM Hardfloor remix was pretty cool.

New Order themselves must have liked it, since they played a live version of Blue Monday that was mixed with the Hardlfoor Mix at the Alexandra Palace show in 1998. I think it's the only time that they ever played BM in that fashion.....

That's the "Andrea mix" by Jam & Spoon. Just had another listen. It still sounds good, even with its' generic dubby stylings.

On the same disc, I always appreciated the Sunkist lyrics used on the "Brain mix".

Call me old-fashioned Tongue but if I ever feel the need to hear a remix of Blue Monday I simply flip on the B side of the original 12"..

I wonder will the upcoming 20th anniversary or Regret be marked by new mixes....
And Confusion is almost 30 years old also..I could go on..

this is far better. guy is a real synth whiz, seems to have recreated most of the sounds himself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yewr1DNS5-g

his other stuff is well worth a listen if you like synth stuff, especially vangelis (take a look at his blade runner blues recording. better than the original IMO). his albums are great too.

I have to say this new 'official' 73-13 mix is beyond crap.

But then, I always enjoy my Neworder "up and at 'em" and "in yer face" not "falling asleep at the wheel".

Hadn't heard the BOB State mix before, which was a nice surprise, as was that guy linked by Spang.

I might track down my '?Rest of' BM bonus disc later, for old times sake...

Not terribly cool but loads of energy, which that new one lacks.
