The best mix since Listen to your heart by DHT. Good to hear more Roxette on the dancefloor!

It´s not so bad, but PLEASE, COME BACK ROXETTE!!!!
We need new sound from you, before they cover your hole stuff!!!!!

If this starts to remind people of Roxette, I think that’s good. Of course these remixes can’t compare to the original, but those silly rave-heads don’t care about real music, do they? :)

Well, I wonder if this will see the light of day in the charts. Recently there’s been loads of 80’s/90’s pop rock dance remix’s doing big business in the charts so, it might have a chance at doing well. Then causing new interest in the “original artist”. I can but hope............

Is that true that Eric Prydz made cover of FLAF? Was it released as single?

Hey!
The Alex K. Bouce remix is already on the internet, if i’m not mistaken.
I found it on DC++. The file name is Fading Like A Flower (Alex K Remix). Just not sure if it’s the same one.
Take care!

I prefered the other version ... Too much noise in here, it’s sad that such a good song is “destroyed”. You’re right Mikalek, Roxette HAS TO COME BACK for, at least, their 20 th anniversary next year. May be sth new ?
Please, Marie, Per, tell us ...

I’m surprised, it’s really not bad! would love to hear it on the dancefloor. but still, bring some new stuff, please!

I hate the way the UK music scene has gone. Toss like this just goes to show that there are NO ORIGINAL IDEAS left. Eric Prydz’ Call On Me? Ripped wholesale from Stevie Winwood’s classic Valerie. Cabin Crew? All I can say is that Boy Meets Girl want to be getting a hefty slice of the royalties with that.
For crying out LOUD, Per, Marie, come back to the UK and SAVE US!!!

sure, this flaf-remix sounds good => it’s Roxette in it ;-))
i’m really longing so much for new Roxette-stuff, i miss Per and especially Marie. just imagine: seeing both of them live on stage... how wonderful would that be?!

Hello Roxers!
I came to think of one thing..
Does Per get any royalties for those remixes?
Do the people who do the remixes have to ask mr G for permission? If that is so I dont understand why Per gives the permission? Can anyone explain that to me? Or is it cash that is talking here? If that is so the question is, does our good Per need more money? ?
Rox on!

Wow! Definetely a great mix!!! I love it! The vocals are great, if you pay attention.
AURYTE said on April 17, 2005 06:21:
I am a bit confused... Did all those DJ’s, included in the list, make a (re)mix of Fading Like A Flower?
CRIZ said on April 17, 2005 12:44:
mz mz mz mz...sorry..not my taste..cheapest mix I ’ve ever heard. Reminds me on Scooter and Scooter makes me sick.......

SilverBloo: Well, Eric Prydz comes from Sweden...

Since I don’t go to discos/clubs, I really don’t care about this kind of stuff. I’ve listened to the snippet and I can say it’s not my cup of tea... The original song is good enough for me, I don’t need this “remixes”. Even the original “Gatica remix” was very poor. Original version, the best one!

Dancing DJ’s... these *#^% guys ripped/ stole our track which was released almost a year ago on Secret Service Records (can be listened to at : www.call-a-record.com) The original Artist is : 2-4 Grooves and the tilte was : Rock Set.
We are very angry!
purplemedusa said on April 20, 2005 17:41:
Urm Secret Service... very professional of you to use such language! But just for your information... Dancing DJ’s have actually used the ORIGINAL track by Roxette to create those mixes!! It’s NOT a cover version!!

Well, for a techno or dance track it is quite good. It has got the right BOOM in it, so you can feel the music in your whole body.
But I still prefer the old-fashioned songs. I don’t like too much Equalizers and too fast music.
Guitars, Bass and Drums are my favorites.
Well, of course the DJs will get Per’s Permission or how will he get so much money to be treaten to pay a million euros for taxes?
And as I remember, one group (groove coverage) already tried to use the melody of a Gessle song (Jefferson) without permission and nearly all money goes to Mr Gessle.
Don’t be so childish to think, Per is doing everything for the music. He is one of the best moneymakers in showbiz. He is human and so it is a natural behaviour.

For those of you who are interested: the song is on
a CD called Fresh Funky House Anthems (2CD)
its trach 15 on the 2nd CD Dancing DJ’s vs Roxette - Fading Like A Flower
I bought the CD at ASDA, and it’s available in all record shops and online stores in the UK.
personally I think it’s quite good (I have bought the CD as I am into funky house music) I haven’t heard it out and about clubbing though. But if I do I let you know.
Is it worth buying? Well try to get the single, as judging from the comments I take it that the CD wouldn’t really be to your tastes. No point of wasting all that money for just one song.

if you wanna hear a snippet, found this file http://mp3.juno.co.uk/MP3/SF172583-01-02-15.mp3 on this
website http://www.juno.co.uk/products/172583-01.htm
to be honest: it sounds very much like a remix called “fading like a flower 2004”
bring the guitars back!!! Roxette, come back!!!
