The name says it all...

U2 has a lot of remixes and a lot of them are... well... bad. Let's separate the good from the bad here.
So say what's your favorite remixes... offical or unofficial.
Here's my list of remixes that need to be heard (I only know official remixes):

Desire (Hollywood Remix)
God Part II (Hard Metal Dance Remix)
When Love Comes to Town (Live from the Kingdom Mix)
Night and Day (Twilight Remix)
Even Better Than the Real Thing (The Perfecto Mix)
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses (The Temple Bar Remix)
Lady with the Spinning Head (Exteneded Dance Mix)
Can't Help Falling In Love (Triple Peaks Remix)
Lemon (The Perfecto Mix)
Lemon (Oakenfold "Jeep" Mix)
Discothèque (Hexadecimal Mix)
Dirty Day (Junk Day Mix)
Dirty Day (Bitter Kiss Mix)
Happiness Is a Warm Gun (The Gun Mix)
Beautiful Day (Quincey and Sonance Remix)
Elevation (Tomb Raider Remix)
Elevation (Influx Remix)
Gone (New Mix)
Numb (New Mix)
Electrical Storm (William Orbit Remix)
Vertigo (Redanka Power Mix)

I don't know...things like "Single version" counts? Well, if you want you can list those two.

Probably a thread like this has been made before but I don't want to bring back from the dead another thread.
 
I LOVE dance/house music so I really love U2 remixes. I have a billion of them.

A few of my favs:

City of Blinding Lights (Paul Epworth Phones PDA in NYC)
In Gods Country (Positronic Mix)
U2 Mofo (Matthew Roberts Explicit Mix)
Dirty Day (Junk Mix)
Night and Day (Twilight Remix)
Lady with the Spinning Head (Extended Dance Mix)
In the Name of the Father (I.T.N.O.T.F. Beats Mix)
Vertigo (Jacknife Remix)
New York (Nasty Mix)
 
Excellent choice. Pretty obscure too.

In God's Country is one of my favorite U2 songs of all time and that is the only remix of the song that I know of. Would be interested to see anyone knows of any others.
 
The first one sounds a lot like the Positronic Mix. I love the BOOOOM bassline in it. :combust:

The second one makes me want to rip my ears off my head.
 
Some are already listed above, mainly these came to mind:
Vertigo (Redanka Power Mix)
U2 Mofo (Matthew Roberts Explicit Mix)
Desire (Hollywood Remix)
Elevation (Influx Remix)


and I'll add

Staring At The Sun (Brothers In Rhythm Ambient Mix) :drool:
and
New Year's Day (Ferry Corsten Vocal Radio Mix)


:hmm: and an honorable mention for:

Wire Re-Wired [Jeep Grrlz Wise Ass Remix]
 
MrMac, I love you! :bow:

I absolutely adore remixes, especially those the 90s. LWTSH (extended :love:), EBTTRT (Perfecto), Dirty Day (Junk Day Mix), Happiness Is A Warm Gun (Gun Mix)...Ooh, and don't forget ones like Mysterious Ways (Solar Plexis Club Mix), and Salome (Zooromancer).

Mmm, my keyboard is covered in :drool: :drool:
 
Do you have/want the Wire NME Dub Mix? That one retains a bit more of the original song, actually a lot more than the Wise Ass Mix :lol:

It sounds like it would be more useful to use in mix CDs or whatever, if the other is a complete novelty. Thanks.

I will send the DYFL mix in the morning, I promise. It's 4:30 AM here right now. :crack:
 
Let me take a look at some I have here on the PC...

Elevation (Biffco mix)
Happiness Is A Warm Gun (Danny Sabre mix)
Elevation (Influx Mix)
Mysterious Ways (Perfecto Mix)
God Part II (have no idea on this name, it was on a promo cd)
Desire (Hollywood remix, both versions)
Pop Muzik (POPMart Mix)
Vertigo (Trent Renzor remix, very cool)
Miracle Drug (Redanka Miracle Dub)
All Because Of You (Redanka's Indian Summer Vocal Mix Edit)
All Because Of You (Redanka's Indian Summer Vocal Mix Full Length)
A bunch of Mission Impossible mixes
Lemon (Lemonade Mix, better than album version IMO)
Even Better (Perfecto, V16 Exit Wound Mix aghh! etc etc)
Paul Van Dyk Elevation mixes
Numb (Perfecto Mix)
THE LOUNGE FLY MIX
Daddy's Gonna Pay (Perfecto Mix, rare as hell - only been broadcast ONCE on Triple J)

Plus more I wont list, but these are mostly good.

There was a time when I really hated remixes but they have grown on me.

Desire (Hollywood remix, both versions)

The God Part II is called Hard Metal Dance Mix :D

Is there any way you could send me the longer version of the Hollywood Remix and that Daddy's remix, please? :wave:
Feel free to PM me or e-mail me: veio91vzc@gmail.com
 
For me it doesn't get better than the perfecto remixes, Lemon(perfecto mix) should have been a single, it was very popular in clubs at the time.
 
I love that In Gods Country remix! I think I mentioned on a separate thread about the Paul Oakenfold remix of Streets that is just incredible. As far as I'm aware there isn't a decent recording of it, if anyone manages to dig one out that would be great.

Could someone PM me the Do You Feel Loved remix? I've always thought that song was crying out for a decent remix. Thanks in advance!
 
I'm a remix junkie, so I love most of U2's remixes.

The remixes of Even Better and Salome that were used on the Best Of 90-00 are some of my favorites off the top of my head.

I also dug the 10 minute Discoteque remix. I used to cruise along to that one a lot.

One of my first favorite U2 remixes was the Hollywood remix of Desire. Awesome shit! :hyper:
