There was the previously unreleased "I Hear Music" that came out about a year ago. Now the stepper's version of "Let's Get It On" and the mash-up of "Sexual Healing/Waiting in Vain." Really top notch. It's great to hear these timeless vocals over not-so-familiar music.

No Ming.
Even though I thought the Motown Remixed version of "Let's Get It On" was passable, for the most part, some artists don't need to be updated, reinterprated, remixed or anything. I guess it depends on how much you like mash-ups but seriously, tinkering can't improve on genius.
so this means it cant be fun to listen to anyway? or interesting? i dont think anybody doing a remix or a mash-up is necessarily always trying to "improve" the music.
then again, that pet sounds remix album sounded like the most god-awful idea of all time. maybe i dont disagree after all.
this remix is solid!
link?
I think I'm mostly quibbling with this statement:
Some of the other reedit 12s are dope, but I'm talking reworked OGs, not 'different music'
imo.. so clever....one of the best examples of a mash up. who ever did this had to fuck with shit to correct the key.
great idea, sounds perfect. As far as this being "not so familiar music" who the FUCK never heard BOB MARLEY waiting in vain ? Its all very familiar...and the steppers version jax the drums right from zhane
the other mash ups are boring to me..theres about 3 mash ups i like
1. nas vs ozzy ( captures the same vibe)
2. healing in vein( above)
3.killers vs gwen stefani ( dj riz murdered that shit..ive had this since may)
beautiful.
This one indeed is ill. Mash-ups overall (i think we covered that a few months back) but there's quite a few re-edits I'm feelin... That Danny Krivit re-edit of "Rock Steady" by Aretha kills me everytime---------> dope!
The Stone Roses: Fool's Gold vs. Air: La Femme D'Argent vs. Marvin Gaye: Sexual Healing

And to address a previous post: yes, "Waiting in Vain" is super-familiar, I know. I guess what I was trying to get at was that I've heard both of these songs so many times that they have both become interesting again when mashed together.
For many of our favorite songs, we know every vocal inflection, every grunt, and every other vocal nuance. But when you take the vocal track away from its original music, it helps different moments stand out in different ways. For me, it allows the genius of Marvin Gaye to shine from a different perspective.
Sadly, we're not going to get to hear anymore new songs from this artist, so I have to be thankful for these reworked classics. At least for the good ones.
The version i have of this is only 1:30, theres gotta be a full length right? Anybody?
