1 Internal Faith Relation /remix/January/January_internalfaithrelation.mp3 /playlistimages/ifr.jpg http://www.intnernalfaithrelation.com CS 18.10.08: More evocative synthy wonder from IFR! 2 Carsone /remix/January/January_carosone.mp3 /playlistimages/carosone.jpg http://www.carosone.eu CS 11.10.08: Another lush, beautiful mix from Carosone. He says: I wanted to start glacial and freezing, as Max Planck did, but in the refrain I took the same lyrical approach as Doghouse Riley. The rythm is so slow that I was tempted to work to a techno version in parallel, but the "slowliness" has something of lust in the end, and enhances your superb interpretation. Bass has an important part and is played by Jurgen Attig. The small guitar solo is again by Andreas Jaeger. Second voices (also male) are yourself melodyned. Wonderful! Thank you C! Love from CGx 3 MyXair /remix/January/January_myxair.mp3 /playlistimages/myxair.jpg http://graphipub.free.fr CS 2.7.08: Moody strings and swells here in this dark electronic mix of the January song. Very nice! 4 Subliminal /remix/January/January_subliminal.mp3 /playlistimages/subliminal.jpg http://www.subliminal-music.com CS 15.03.08: A very atmospheric mix from Subliminal. Guitar by Edwin van Buuringen. Thank you! CGx 5 Lanzerote /remix/January/January_lanzerote.mp3 /playlistimages/lanzerote.jpg CS 06.02.08: The first of three remixes that arrived today from Lanzerote (!). I really like how totally dry every sound in this mix has stayed. I upload my a cappellas without any compression or anything like that for remixers to do their thing with but this vocal still sounds like the room I recorded it in. I think this is a first for CSongs, and I love firsts. And then the mix itself moves very fast from mimimal to almost lush to blossomy, delicate. This is really amazing and strange, I enjoyed it very much! Thank you L., are you actually IN Lanzerote as well? Lots of love from CGx 6 Crystal Palace /remix/January/January_kabanowster.mp3 /playlistimages/.jpg http://myspace.com/crystalpalace CS 04.01.08: A very sophisticated DNB take on the January song from CP in Poland. Very nice indeed! Thank you & best from CGx 7 Loveshadow /remix/January/January_loveshadow.mp3 /playlistimages/loveshadow.jpg http://myspace.com/loveshadow247 CS 22.11.07: OK, Anne Rice, anybody? I love this scary mix. I was talking about the January song with someone very nice just now and they said how they reckoned the lyrics to the Jan song are actually pretty psychadelic, as in, it reminds them of a psychadelic experience. In that context, this 'Old Nursery' mix is creepy and totally introverted - i.e., a nasty dose; and the next 'White Stiletto' mix is all enchanced, warm shivers, a good trip if ever there was. But you know children you don't need any trips at all, just yr nice ears. Thanks L! These mixes have made my day. xxx 8 Loveshadow /remix/January/January_loveshadow2.mp3 /playlistimages/loveshadow.jpg http://myspace.com/loveshadow247 CS 22.11.07: A big fat melodic trancey take on the January song. Big synthy washes and stabs. You might need a white handbag to go with the stilettos! Hugs x 9 Doghouse Riley /remix/January/January_doghouse.mp3 /playlistimages/doghouse.jpg http://dangtastic.com CS 13.11.07: This is an awesome take on the January song. There's an off-beat rhythmic thing going on here that is so cool and crazy, I love it. Doghouse says his mum thinks I'm up to know good, but he knows best, I'm as klean as can be. Now that we're coming up to January again (where DOES the time go!) I can honestly say I'm through with new years resolutions and have resolved to resolute myself before the holiday season even starts whispering at me. Ho Ho Ho. Thanks for this D-R, you are the best. x 10 moondub /remix/January/January_moondub.mp3 /playlistimages/moondub.jpg http://www.indiestore.com/moondub CS 11.09.07: An excellent, sophisicated dub of the January song full of cut-up vox, falling chords, the sound of dead telephones and electric percussion. Brilliant, thanks for this! CGx 11 ditto-ditto /remix/January/January_dittoditto.mp3 /playlistimages/ditto-ditto.jpg http://ccmixter.org/media/people/ditto/profile CS 06.09.07: This is a gorgeous pop rock January, very influenced by Blondie, those guitars, ah me! Most special for me is the way ditto-ditto has taken the hardest phrase to sing (at least it was at the time for me) and turned it into something that sounds triumphant. 'It was really dazzling!' Merci Merci xxx 12 axisone /remix/January/January_axisone.mp3 /playlistimages/axisone.jpg http://cathayistrecords.awardspace.com CS 29.08.07: A dirty, gravely, mix of 'January' from the prolific axisone in Hong Kong. I love the hard-edged distortion on the vocals, and the lovely spacey outro. Thanks D from CGx 13 sgrunt /remix/January/January_sgrunt.mp3 /playlistimages/sgrunt.jpg http://ccmixter.org/media/people/sgrunt/profile CS 13.06.07: sgrunt from Roma mixes Jan with a touch of Mr. Reznor I feel. No bad thing in my book (Trent looks out for the little guy in all of us). I like the drive in this mix, the feeling of undoing a very tight knot. Thank you S-G from C-G! x 14 fourstones /remix/January/January_victor.mp3 /playlistimages/victor.png http://fourstones.net/ www.ccmixter.org. He is also a very smart programmer and not too shy of the guitar either as this rocky, funky mix amply demonstrates. Thanks again for this V from CGx]]> 15 Gabriele Magurno /remix/January/January_gabriele_magurno.mp3 /playlistimages/Gab.png http://www.magurno.com/ CS 23.04.07: From Gabriele Magurno in Italy here is a high energy remix with nice changes and nice vocals saying 'January' a lot! How fun is this? So much fun! Thanks GM from CSx 16 Vidian /remix/January/January_vidian.mp3 /playlistimages/vidian.jpg http://ccmixter.org/media/people/Vidian/profile CS 07.04.07: This track has a fantastic otherworldly quality to it. Ancient courtly rituals in space, that kind of 'Dune' thing - so it all made sense when I saw that Vidian was making films. This would be very fine without vocals at all, I am so happy that January is alongside it. Thank you! Very best from csongsx 17 Doom Patrol /remix/January/January_doompatrol.mp3 CS 07.04.07: This remix has harpsichord sounds and synthy strings that remind me of Mercury Rev. Yay. I love it. Thank you doom patrol from csongs x 18 ACD /remix/January/January_ACD.mp3 /playlistimages/ACD.jpg http://altcontroldelete.multiply.com/ CS 20.03.07: A very fun mix from AltControlDelete who has pitched the vocal way up and made a big exciting playtime mix! Thank you Alt! 19 Max Plank /remix/January/January_max_plank.mp3 /playlistimages/max_plank.jpg http://www.myspace.com/maxplank CS 19.03.07: I call this ‘stalactite’ because of its cave-like atmosphere. I’m thinking a lot about massive 20-ton crystal houses underground, singing quietly to themselves in the dark. Thank you Max Plank from Barcelona for this. Are you related to Max Planck? If you are, these crystals have remained unseen till now. Lots of love from CGirl xxx. 20 IMT /remix/January/January_imt.mp3 /playlistimages/imt.jpg http://www.reverbnation.com/incoherentmumbletrain ccmixter, but there aren’t any other samples used apart from the vocal. There’s a guitar bridge which makes me smile a lot a lot a lot. This is one of the best mixes so far for CSongs I reckon. It makes the song feel brand new to me, and has all the right lifts in all the right places. Many thanks to Incoherent Mumble Train for this!]]> 21 Darkroom /remix/January/January_mactonite.mp3 /playlistimages/darkroom.jpg http://ccmixter.org/media/people/mactonite/profile CS 03.03.07: An amazing mix of the January song with a strange arhythmic feeling and very atmospheric instrumentation. A landmark mix for Calendar Songs this, an interpretation of the weirdness and introversion in my odd, unfinished lyrics that makes them seems much better than they are. Thanks Darkroom! CGx 22 14h34m /remix/January/January_14h30.mp3 /playlistimages/14h30.jpg http://www.myspace.com/14h34m www.jamglue.com, and the result is a very nice ride into the forest! They call this the 'Ice covered moon mix when January is the Monday of the year'. I like to think of January as a Monday. Thank you M from CG]]> 23 KCentric /remix/January/January_kcentric.mp3 /playlistimages/kcentric.jpg http://www.kcentricity.com/page/page/2491885.htm CS 11.02.07: From K-Centric, a mix that makes me feel like I am in high school in New Jersey again. Thanks KC from CGxx 24 Briareus /remix/January/January_briareus.mp3 /playlistimages/briareus.jpg http://www.myspace.com/briareusmusic ccmixter, where I posted the a cappella of January and Briareus did a remix with his own instrumentation and another a cappella from omni_vista. Briareus calls it a Non-carbon emissons mix, which I think is ironic, because when I listen to it I think about Michael Mann’s 'Miami Vice' and driving around in a Ferrari. It just has that feeling. I love this mix, let me know what you reckon to it in the comments section.]]>
