Just saw this could be a great combo. Original is quite spacious so plenty of room for Tom.

Whoa, cool/unexpected.  Robert Smith remix, hmmm.  interesting.

White Pony would have been my most listened to album of that year; and i still listen to Deftones occasionally now - but i have very low expectations for this set of remixes.

Yeah, but you have to admit that it is a good lineup.

[Richie Sombrero]

The Purity Ring Knife Party one is quite good. I think this suits the idea of a remix album, it's a very early 00's thing.

Hmm not what I was expecting, not hugely into it.

Push back the square

[beerwolf]

Very nice indeed 

[phudoshin]

yeh i like it!

[Kennylogg Bubblebath]

was expecting/hoping he'd lock into full mental breakbeat mode near the end, but it's still a delicious as hell remix!

 

one for the EKT heads... how is that vocal effect achieved? granular fukkery?

[Richie Sombrero]

Yeah wish he had micro-edited and chopped ala Go Plastic but it's def growing on me.

Props to both, like two of my fave 5 artists probably so fantasy stuff.

Amazing to hear a track from my teen years remixed by someone else I was listening to but considered part of a totally disparate world.

Makes me question if life is a simulation, etc.

The vocal treatment (especially "transpose......" getting pulled apart around 2:15) is very tasty, and the chugging/spacey mid-section accentuates a note that the original song hit for me, with a sense of being swept away by waves of something overwhelming. climaxing into some classic tom splashy-but-clipped kit sounds about 3/4 through. and Finally re-emerging with the original feel mostly intact, but from "behind bars" as I'd call it.

It feels like Tom understands the song, which makes me happy in a way I didn't expect.

Or maybe I'm just hearing what I want.

Got damn this is good! The part at 4:33 is af

The whole remix album is surprisingly ace. I could be mistaken but I don’t think there is a bad track on it. Been a great year for Deftones.

yep. as far as remix albums go, it's pretty good. but that isn't much of an accolade considering how unfathomably wank most of them are,

Never heard the original track but Tom's remix is HAWT

100% agree. When I heard there was a ‘remix album’ of one of my favourite albums of all time, my blood turned cold. Christ. It wasn’t a case of of good will it be, but a case of how shit it would be. Not so here. Super excellent tracks 

The mythical classic White Pony remains intact
