Mark Reeder DM'd me again (should I be concerned?) regarding his mix. "my NO remix wont be in this package. it comes later. meanwhile heres a link to my album as a consolation prize. hope you like it. m" I thanked him. "you‘re welcome andrew. if you like it, please feel free to share the link (in a tweet :) btw there will be two NO remix bundles. mine will be in bundle nr 2 (whenever that is). m" I bought his LP and then told him I'd share the link even if I didn't like the LP! Fortunately, what I heard sounds good so: BandCamp

Liking a lot the Paul Woolford and Maceo Plex mixes on more listening. The first 20 seconds or so of the Maceo Plex full length mix at first reminded me a little of As You Said by JD. Then later it goes a bit Born Slippy beat but slower. Born Slippy meets that Kraftwerk/BM choral sound . Edited by user 16 December 2020 11:03:26(UTC)

I didn’t like the remixes at all. |

You can't polish a turd can you? OK, I'm exagerating, Be a Rebel is a decent song not a turd but it isn't great. The Maceo Plex remix is really bad to my ears. Won't listen to it twice for sure. I'll probably give Paul Woolford's a second chance but I don't expect it to charm me. In the end Bernard's Outlaw mix is the most interesting but not great either.

I'm just listening. The Paul Woolford mix is just basically "Looking For Me" vs "Be A Rebel" with a bit of mixing with a few sound alike samples from BLT thrown in. Doesn't seem like much effort was put into it. The Maceo Plex remix is almost bordering on an industrial dance version with tinges of Blue Monday. Not sure how good it would work on the dancefloor though. Going to have to listen to these a few times but the original is still my favourite, but again that's the one I've listened to most. Not sure these mixes are going to sway my opinion though. Edited by user 18 December 2020 14:26:01(UTC)

Just read this on the Mute Records site: "Bernard Sumner has revisited his earlier ‘Be A Rebel’ remixes and combined the best into his Outlaw mix." So, I'm guessing Barney's just been a bit indecisive on this remix and kept tweaking after it was sent for vinyl press, and again after its first digital release. Does that mean he considers the Outlaw mix the final, definitive version? I actually like the second of the three variants best (i.e. the Renegade mix on the first digital release), as the "Hooky" guitar is a nice addition, and it has more space in the mix than the Outlaw version, which is beginning to sound more crowded now - although the Outlaw mix does have a warmer bottom end/bass to it than the digital Renegade Mix. Wonder which of Bernard's mixes will feature on any CD single that might eventually get released? Edited by user 21 December 2020 02:16:54(UTC)

Is this one of the fan-made mixes, which has a 'Hooky-style' bass-line?
Hence the term 'parallel universe', i.e. if Hooky was still in the band.

Completist request: The "Maceo Plex Remix Edit" seems to be YouTube-only right now.
Anyone found a legit digital source for purchase? Ripping from YouTube is a last resort for me.
No guarantees this would make it onto any CD release - if that ever sees the light of day.

Wow last Friday’s Pete Tong show on BBC Radio 1 which is probably one of the biggest dance shows which people listen to all over the world, the first song he played was the Be A Rebel (Paul Woolford Remix) Hope the remix and the song gets good exposure https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000q87j |
