The Trance Remixes
Starting in 1993 with the release of an ambient version of "Wish You Were Here", a number of so-called 'Limited Edition Trance Remixes' started appearing on the bootleg circuit. These releases not only sported professional, attractive covers; but presented unique reinterpretations of most Floyd albums, redone so as to incorporate spacey sound collages and dance beats. Hardcore Floyd fans dislike them (because "Floyd is supposed to be perfect"), and despite the wide-spread awareness of them, Pink Floyd has yet to comment.
The creators have not stepped forward, but fans have speculated about the involvement of many well-known artists, such as Jim Cauty of the KLF, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails, and the Orb.
This remix is by far the best of all the remixes. As one would expect, this album lends itself to ambient interpretation more than any other Floyd release. Both parts of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" are brilliant excursions into the outer limits with samples from The Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" scattered throughout. "Welcome to the Machine" and "Have a Cigar" are powerful interpretations with lots of heavy dance beats. "Wish You Were Here" is beautiful. I know I may be crucified here, but it is even better than the original: nice spacey wind sounds echo on Gilmour's gorgeous vocals. A really pleasant listen. This remix definitely lends itself for headphones. A must have: A+
