Miles Away Remixes

We’ve just received a review/description of the Miles Away remixes commisioned for the single and we’re happy to share these exclusive details with the MadonnaTribe.com readers. While it is yet not clear if all of the following mixes will end up on the US commercial release or if some will stay promo only, it has been confirmed that only three of them will end up on the European singles and they are:

Miles Away – Thin White Duke Remix
The long awaited return of Stuart Price putting his touch to a “new Madonna track” he didn’t originally produce was something expected with quite a curiosity by most of the fans. But if some people expected this to be a hint of how the “Hard Candy” album was about to become if Stuart were involved they might be disappointed.
Miles Away by Stuart Price is one of his classic club remixes that gives energy to the song and presents Madonna’s vocals in a very clear and sharp way. The remix is very good but it is not clear why Stuart seems to have an issue with the chorus as it is never left in it’s full glory during the whole mix. The chorus is completely skipped between the first and second verse and later presented many times without the “Miles Away” words (You Always Love Me More … I Hear It In Your Voice …). A Good Mix, worth getting the single.

Miles Away – Demo Rebirth
This version of the song is an average club version that will work well on the dance floor even if it doesn not rank among the best work by Rebirth or the best remixes created for this particular song.

Miles Away – Johnny Vicious Club
The Johnny Vicious Club mix is one of the two mixes he did for this song, the other being the Johnny Vicious Warehouse Mix. It’s a very good dance version of Miles Away that also re-uses some of the guitar elements of the original track and a bit of electronica

As previously said more remixes were commissioned and some may end up on the US Maxi out on November 24th or on promos. Among them we find:

Miles Away – Aaron LaCrate Mix
A Tribal sound remix that uses Madonna’s vocals many times almost as a percapella. It’s basically percussions, voice and very few more elements.

Miles Away – Headcleanr Mix
Without any doubt it’s the best remix of the whole bunch. It gives the song the right treatment with a mixture of pop and dance that really makes you want to sing along. Let’s hope it’s going to be out on some releases. It would be a sin if it wouldn’t.

Miles Away – Lost Daze Mix
Another average club mix that works well on the dance floor but that doesn’t add anything to the song.

Miles Away – Kaskade Mix
A good dance remix which can be described as a classic club anthem. It’s build very well and it reminds of some of the stuff by Calderone and Ralphi Rosario.

Miles Away – Morgan Page Mix
Very electonica oriented, and somehow very Stuart Price-ish. It samples the “beep beep” effect you hear at the end of the original song in the intro and some original guitar elements too.

Miles Away – Peter Rauhofer Mix
Last but not least comes the Peter Rauhofer mix which is a classic Peter remix with a touch of techno/rave, which means it’s good! Peter has added to the song a sort of dreamy atmospheare which is quite
enjoyable. He presented the mix at the “Black & Blue Festival”, a rave party held in Montreal on October 12.

As a conclusive thought, all these remixes will work extremely well on dance floors of various type of
dancing nights, from hard techno to pop parties there’s a version that might fit there like a glove. It’s a long time we don’t see this “diversity” in remixes for a Madonna single but most of all it’s great that Miles Away, unlike previous attempts, works well as a dance song just as good as the original “ballad” version (without Madonna having to re-sing it).
