The same piano loops over and over
I wonder if any human intervention is required to produce an Almighty remix? 4/4 drum track, a synth bass line, loop the first line of the song a couple of times, and an instant classic. It has to be said, it’s unusual for an Almighty remix to be worse than the original track – take their splendid version of ‘Torn’, for example. Their ‘sister label’ Euphoric, meanwhile, has just released a CD containing a number of gay dance remixes, including Nickelback’s ‘How I remind you’ and ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ by Deep Blue Something.
Away from their faceless remixer robots, though, they’re a bit less impressive. Listening to some of their original records brought to mind the old homophobic cliche that catwalk fashion looks so wierd because gay designers want to humiliate women. At least, ‘Funky G’, who’s responsible for getting Candi Staton to sing a DJ Otzi-style cover of ‘Suspicious Minds’ clearly had a deep subconscious hatred of soul divas. Better stick with her version of ‘Stand by your man’, I think.
