Prog songs given a disco remix?

[Rufus]

Without getting into a debate about whether the songs are prog or not, what songs by a Prog artist/band have been remixed or sampled for the dance floor?

Yes-Owner of a lonely heart & leave it.
Peter Gabriel & Mike Oldfield have had too nany to mention.

Any others?

Yes - Roundabout

Yes - Roundabout (again)

Rush - The Trees (More of a Dub mix, than disco)

Edit: Also, this is something my mate did a few years ago. Based on his experience of listening to The Spirit of Radio where the CD kept skipping right where Geddy sang "bristles with the energy": https://soundcloud.com/infinitedecay...rgy-rush-remix It's an electro mix and he's rather good at it.

Rush - "Tom Sawyer" (remix) from Small Soldiers soundtrack

[Fright Pig]

I did it to one of my songs and slapped it on my website. The concept was if someone in your house didn't like progessive rock, they could listen to it on headphones while you blasted the real deal on the main house stereo.

It's a mild dubstep / house version I whipped up for "The Meaning of Dreams". My son always asks to hear it in the car.

Does this qualify? Buggles remake of "Into The Lens" (retitled "I am a Camera"):

Genesis - Behind The Lines (by Phil Collins, of all people)

Genesis - The Fountain of Salmacis

I've heard that swirling mellotron part in the middle of a dance floor track. No idea who sampled it.

I regard the song MacArthur Park as progressive, hence I would refer to Donna Summer's remake of it as a disco remix.

^^ That's the one.

So let me get this straight, the music industry kills prog (well, as much as they can) and yet between samples being used in rap music and disco remakes, prog songs are being rehashed? WTF? Why not just let prog be resurrected in the mainstream then? Oh yeah, because most "music listeners" have no taste at all. But hey, if you can dance to it, it must be good...

We all remember The Grind Date by De La Soul, which samples Ritual...

Some of these aren't remixes, they're remakes.

[jamesmanzi]

Not really disco, but here's a bunch of Marillion/Beastie Boys mashups I did years ago...

Doesn't ELP have a CD set of re-mixes?

Yeah, my bad, but I got a UN FRIGGIN BELIEVEABLE out of it.

You mean 2002's Re-Works 3CD collection of Fanfare remixes? I haven't pulled this out in ages, but my recollection is that it's very redundant to take in one listen.

There's also the Magna Carta label gem "Sonic Residue From Vapourspace" Volume 1 (I wonder what happened to the others...) which features remixes from Attention Deficit, Niacin, Liquid Tension Experiment, Steve Walsh and a few others.

Steve Howe's son Nigel did an album of Yes remixes a while back too.

Lots of crappy remixes of Fish singles. In retrospect those Marillion remix Christmas CDs seem like they were Ill advised undertakings.

I think a lot of those are just radio edits (his solo stuff) Although I didn't mind the Brother 52 remixes or the Something In The Air remixes.

I like the Fish-Marillion remixes as well except for maybe Lady Nina. That drum machine really kills me as it does on the original mix.

Hawkwind put out a CD single back in the mid 90's where they isolated Robert Calvert's vocal on Spirit Of The Age (I think the live version from the Hawklords Live CD) and built this sort of techno/dance track around it. That was just about the first time I remember hearing someone doing like that, and the time, I thought it sounded amazing.

I have the 12" single of Al DiMeola's Sequencer, which has two different extended mixes of the track.

Re: Lady Nina, are we talking about the version that appears on the Misplaced Childhood remaster, with the superfluous breakdown in the middle? If I remember correctly they put out similarly badly conceived remixes of both Kayleigh and Lavender (I speak of the 12" version of Lavender here). Could the 7" version of Lavender (which was actually really cool) be considered a remix?
