In my last video, I explored the controversy surrounding the remix of Queen I, including the decision to pitch correct Freddie Mercury’s vocals—and the bigger question of whether classic albums should be changed at all.
But that raises another question:
Why do we remix classic albums in the first place?
In this follow-up, I take a closer look at the different reasons behind remixing—and when those choices actually make sense.
From the stereo remix projects of The Beatles, to modern reinterpretations by artists like Steven Wilson, to controversial misfires and overlooked successes, this video breaks down the different types of remixes and what they aim to achieve.
If you haven’t seen the first video in this series, I highly recommend starting there for the full context.
