sir cumference Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 It`s not April 1st already is it? Dear oh dear.Maybe it`s me? You did ask for opinions! I`m going back into hibernation!
TheBigO Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 That was fun, not sure you want to spin it out at a Northern do, although slightly better than some of Levines recent efforts! I liked it but then again my kids do say I have no taste in music and listen to R-Soul music (that old chestnut again)
Ted Massey Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 you just wrecked 2 fantastic bits of music . how ever long it took to do you will never get the time back 2
Dave Pinch Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 you just wrecked 2 fantastic bits of music . how ever long it took to do you will never get the time back same for me ted. i like both tunes but they just dont go together
Jaco Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Definitely did not work for me, but hey-ho there might be worse things to spend your time doing.
Staceys Dad Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 would rather listen to x-factor ..... ......

Cunnie Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Suppose it's better than that 'Soul In The Sun' abomination that Tommy Hunt did to 'The Champion'.
barney Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 come on chaps give it a chance we cant get stuck now ,,we have to move on
Russoul1 Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 wow this will fly if put up for sale on ebay.......i bet theres a few who will be playing this in the near future with a rammed dancefloor of pristine dressed baggy trouser/full circle brigade showing how crap they are at shuffling to it...... how fookin sad roll on 2014 2
Shinehead Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) Noticed this was your first post , don,t give up but thats f**king Sh*t Edited January 2, 2013 by shinehead
arnie j Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 as has already been said they are two great records in their own right,im not saying i like this mash up but the poster made the two records fit together quite well and must have took a fair bit of time to get it right so i applaud the poster for his time and effort,although its not really my thing to be honest jason 1
Cover-up Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 come on chaps give it a chance we cant get stuck now ,,we have to move on I don't even think this has anything to do with tailor-mades versus original vinyl only versus what will move the scene forward etc. This is simply two pieces of music which don't fit together, they're in the wrong key and it sounds terrible. That Kylie Minogue Blue Monday thing is an example of two well known existing tunes fitting together like a jigsaw. This Adele thing is just dreadful. Sorry! 1
Guest Matt Male Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 (edited) I thought we'd seen the back of these crazy mash ups. I've never heard one that worked. Just noticed it's called a refix. Were both songs broken then? Edited January 2, 2013 by Matt Male
Guest gibber Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 wow this will fly if put up for sale on ebay.......i bet theres a few who will be playing this in the near future with a rammed dancefloor of pristine dressed baggy trouser/full circle brigade showing how crap they are at shuffling to it...... how fookin sad roll on 2014 You think Russ is joking Remember the time Russ played a great set to a empty floor when the guy following him filled it with Duffy’s Mercy .
Guest GARV Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 As my grandfather would of said,....................... " boy , thats pure dung ".
Mark S Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I want to kill someone now First post go back and have a rethink .
Autumnstoned Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I think you can improve it. Remix it and take the vocals off. 2
Duke Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 It's not easy to create something transformative in this way. I agree with others that your attempt hasn't worked. Good luck with any future attempts you may make.
Markw Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 Noticed this was your first post , don,t give up but thats f**king Sh*t Shinehead's wrong. Give up. 1

Guest giant Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 thats embarrassing sure is very embarrassing .
Guest giant Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Wheres James Corden when you need him?.... :lol:
Spacehopper Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) nah...two tracks with two completely different attitudes,or whatever the musical term is!...surley the mash up thing is old hat now anyway??...a few lines sampled on a 'danced' up remix (fat boy slim etc) will always be about depending on the 'new' dance style but think mash ups are just a gimmic that is way past its sell buy date IMO dean Edited January 3, 2013 by spacehopper
Shinehead Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Shinehead's wrong. Give up. I meant posting on here defo give up the mash ups ,cock ups whatever they are called . 1
Pete S Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 The first minute or so fits ok then it goes a bit astray. I quite like mashups. Especially that Althia & Donna meet We Will Rock You one. Not heard a good Northern one yet though.
paultp Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I think it is pretty good, very clever. I think if a slightly lesser well known (and loved) backing had been used it wouldn't have been subjected to so many derisory comments. Maybe a less well know vocal too
Guest Nick Harrison Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 I like it, its fresh and full of youthful energy, not one to be played or accepted on the current northern soul scene. Ignore the narrow minded shackled short sightedness of some of the establishment on here !! Although there opinions you asked for !! Putting aside the fact that you have stolen and inter feared with there soul property is rewarding. Good luck with it.
Cover-up Posted January 3, 2013 Posted January 3, 2013 Ignore the narrow minded shackled short sightedness of some of the establishment on here !! There's nothing narrow-minded about not liking a record which is out of tune - sorry, it's not meant to be ironic or avant garde, it's a pop mash-up. When two pieces of music go out of key, it's just wrong. End of... I don't think the problem is using a backing track which is too well known - the whole point of a successful mash-up is to take two equally popular songs, sling them together and hopefully come up with a whole which is greater than the sum of its parts. Which is not easy, which is why so few of them are successful. Candi Staton "You Got The Love" is an example of a bootleg mash-up which works - although, by my logic the vocal was pretty obscure at the time... so it doesn't really qualify!
Guest GARV Posted January 4, 2013 Posted January 4, 2013 Ignore the narrow minded shackled short sightedness of some of the establishment on here !! Although there opinions you asked for !! Yes, he did , and peoples are giving there opinions. On the narrow minded part, i collect, house, modern , trad NS , Soulful house, jazz funk , neo soul [ i don`t know either ] ... in fact all the colours of the soul rainbow are bought & enjoyed by myself , i`m sure others on here are just as passionate & eclectic in their buying & listening choices. Its not that i don`t like mash ups, i do ,........................... its just, this is shite.
Funky 4 Corners Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 All I know is that both tracks are far better than self styled Soul singer Mick Hucknall.
Guest turntableterra Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 i once heard a balinese jumbo band do a doo wop / thai version of "i cant get no satisfaction",
Ernie Andrews Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 Try Listening to a Japanse band doing Black Dog by Led Zeppelin - You will be in stiches!
Guest lofthope Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 This isn't quite set right, but with a bit of work it could be really good. You just need to chop the vocals around the sax breaks for example. My 21 year old daughter thought it was really good (apart from the point above) and has just rushed upstairs to tweet it to her friends. The champion is my all time favourite Northern tune, so I'm not overly happy about vocals plastered all over it, but that doesn't stop me standing back and seeing that this is a really good idea that just needs a little refining. Get on a sequencer and cut the vocals around the bridge and the breaks. Well done and good luck mate. PS Jeez, was just about to post this and your mash came booming out of my daughter's bedroom at full volume, guess I'll be hearing that a few times this evening then!.
