I made my own Court of the Crimson King Dance Mix Version including spoken word bt Mr Fripp.
A year or two back, Kanye West did a song, Power, built around a sample of the riff from KC's 21st Century Schizoid Man - its not as bad as it sounds actually.
Oh! I'm fond of prog rock, but I like and disco music as well...
Here are the amasing disc-prog things:
Banco "Capolinea" - the whole album of smashing live mix of dico-funk-prog!
Morse Code - Cocktail - good disco mix
Abedul "Nostoros" 1979 Spanish band, though not mix but fusion of disco-prog.
Minimum Vital - Esprit d'amor - simply great dance-prog song!
Anyone remember the "Yes Remixes" album from 2003?

That's very similar to Mark Twain's oft-cited description of Wagner's music. (Which he apparently never actually said)
Confirmed Bachelors: the dramedy hit of 1883...
I remember having seen in the late 70s a disco album containing entirely covers of Pink Floyd songs. Can't remember the title or band name either, just that they were French.
Back in the '80s, I ran a record store - we sold a ton of this Michael Jackson/Yes mashup to DJs:

Never heard that one before, but it works surprisingly well.
I must admit the first thing that came to mind when I saw this thread was the Yes remixes CD from Virgil Howe. I bought it but I have not played it in ages.
I like to think I am open to the concept of such remixes, remakes and re imaginings, I will always give them a try. Granted not all of them work though.
I only clicked on it because I thought it was going to be something more interesting...
