What are you feelings on remixes? You don't seem to do as many for your songs as other people do.
RHYS: "People over do it. The odd remix is cool, but people go way overboard. They microscope on songs and do 20 remixes and it's not necessary. The odd remix is ok, but not 200 for one song. I think there should be a limit of 2 per song."
Has anyone remixed one of your songs in an unexpected way?
RHYS: "This guy did a remix for 'The Blade' in England. His name is Justin Robertson. he's like a really trendy DJ and he did a remix that was a dub, almost reggae thing, we couldn't use it for Front Line at all, people would totally freak out. It was really dub and happy sounding with all this rasta stuff, pretty weird. It wasn't that it was bad or anything, it just wasn't suitable for Front Line. We had some guys to some Delerium remixes but we didn't like them so we didn't use any of them. They were alright, but really house music and I can't really relate to it."
Are there any particular bands you'd like to do remix work for?
RHYS: "I don't really think about it. There's bands I like, but unless it sounds like shit and you can hear there's a cool song, then usually it's like 'yeah, that would be nice but I'm not going to worry about it.' Sometimes I get records, where I think it's really cool but sounds horrible, that happens. I usually just don't think like that. Usually I think, good songs, they're fine, unless people want to change it. I did that for a banded called Machine Hear. I didn't change the songs that much just because they were fine, and it was metal so it's not like I was going to do techno breaks. Usually I try to do remixes to suit what the band is, while some people do the remixes the same no matter who it is. Like the Orb, for instance, will just mutilate stuff and a lot of times I like to do mixes to suit the band."
