Extended mixes worth listening

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Usually ext mixes are just a waste of time, especially anything by Depeche mode is a real challenge to test one person's patience.
Of course there are exeptions :

sisters : tol - lucretia obviously

echo and the bunnymen : killing moon (it could go on for another 9 min and still be great, what a version)

Jamc : sidewalking (what a beat, what a bass!!!!)

New order : sub culture (guilty pleasures)

all you good people will know a few more..

Oh, I can't agree with you there! DM were the absolute masters of the 12" remix. The Hands and Feet Mix of Enjoy The Silence is just heaven and Never Let Me Down Again (Split Mix) is one of the most godlike noises ever committed to vinyl :notworthy:

Other greats? Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order, Situation by Yazoo, and the ten minute glory from on high that is the "Wally MacDonald Disco Mix" of Follow Me by Amanda Lear. True, she couldn't sing for toffee and everything else she ever did was rubbish (apart from appear on the front of For Your Pleasure and go out with Bryan Ferry) but this is wonderful, OTT '70s Eurodisco In Excelsis. With great bastard crashing gongs for good measure.

seconded.
:urff:

& let's not even go near Bring On The Dancing Horses.

I kind of feel Lucretia extended is a bit too much really. A bit like Long Train. Totally loses its impact in the format.

Monsoon's Ever So Lonely was a belter of a 12" extended version though
Cheers.

I've always had a soft spot for the extended versions of Frankie Goes To Hollywood's "Two Tribes" :oops:

I did like the New York mix of Heartbeat by the Furs on the B side of the Heaven 12"
Cheers.

And cost more to record than the whole of Elizium by all accounts. :lol:

Sticking with FGTH, the 15 Minute version of Rage Hard that Annie Nightingale used to play back in the day :D Especially the "God-like Bass Guitar" bit...

Also a fan of Depeche Mode's Hands and Feet mix of Enjoy The Silence (Japanese Promo Only copy I acquired!)

Can I mention Spacemen 3 here? That 17 minute Rollercoaster - sheer bliss.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Thompson Twins b-sides.
