@izzyworld There are sooo many remixes by Shep Pettibone that it's difficult to name a favorite one, but for example New Order's 'True Faith' mix by Pettibone is UNBELIEVABLE, I mean that can nearly make a grown woman like myself cry it's such a fantastic mix... positively legendary!!!!
love Shep's mixes i have a large collection of them - he often crossed various riffs to other artist's mixes so they sounded similar - this one has the same sequencer effect that was taken from Duran Duran's 'I Don't Want Your Love'(at about 0:18) which he mixed before this - the DD mix had the same bass line as Shep's remix of Prince's 'Hot Thing' The thing that i miss in this remix is the melodic part where Debbie sings 'Lost inside..' before the 'oo ooh woah oh' on the original track
Even tho Shep was an established producer already, it was the Pet Shop Boys West End Girls Remix he did that really threw him in 2the remix spotlight with everyone else.
@littleitalykid For me I'm into Pettibone, Jellybean Benitez, Stock/Aitken/Waterman, Italo Disco like Koto and Radiorama, Italo House, and some very early 90s early house like 808 State... also, my favorite Italo House being all of the 49ers songs, and much much more obscure groups that no one has heard of, especially in the US! I typed in Latin Rascals, and am digging their stuff too, so far I like their radio station mixes, that's totally my cup of tea!
@littleitalykid I'm not very familiar with the Latin Rascals work, are they more freestyle? I started collecting/purchasing vinyl at literally 8 years old when my parents would drop me off at the record stores here in Seattle... I just turned 32. I like Shep Pettibone's percussion in his remixes, specifically his 85-90 era work...
@WiiGeee When I rushed out and bought the remix album, I LOVED the "buildup". My disappointments were that: a) It never went anywhere; b) They took the actual music out of it. c) This sounds like a remix OF the remix.
@SuchAPrettyMess You can't be serious not even close to the'' LATIN RASCAL'S" I understand people have preference,but this isn't close,where did u grow up, i grew up in Manhattan,you had to grow up somewhere in the tri-state if you know ''SHEP'' and they played 92ktu( LATIN RASCAL'S) in the eartly 80's they had a remix show check em' out then if you still think ''Shep'' is better than o.k.
@huffnpuff2 that would be because madonna used shep pettibone to remix some of the songs she sang on. i might also add, as usual, madonna caught on to the hip producers after they did their best work.
Caught on AFTER? Lol that’s why she has over 45 top 40 hits. Far more than MJ and Prince combined. She’s known to use producers not many people have heard of. So Mirwais was a hugely popular producer before Music? lol
excuse me, but.... i think it`s too "bouncy" now and not that "funky" anymore.... technically very well done, no question, but i really prefer the original.

yeah totally shep reminds me along the lines of madonnas vogue

Yes I guess you could mix "Vougue" with this! :)
time to Bump. Bump.
@huffnpuff2 I think it's because Pettibone was Madonna's producer and remixer (i.e. 'Like a Prayer' or 'Vogue').
I wish this had chorus part.
LOL too right - that was rather a geeky posting
@Martywt43 This is NOT the version as recorded on that album. It's actually better.
Or Express Yourself. Oh, Shep.
Or Like A Prayer.
You should get out more.
song like a madonna song

@SuchAPrettyMess
if you dont like buildup, dont listen to house remixes
Ah shame!
