Hi,

I'm sure everyone has a number of favourite pairs of tracks that simply seem right together - I know I do. I carry a number of them pre-mixed (which also come in useful when nature calls).

I thought it would be interesting to kick off a thread to find out what other people use - here's a few of mine:

Stones-Honkey Tonk Women - Dandy Warhols-Bohemian Like You
(Mix the first chord of Bohemian over the last of HTW)

Bowie-Jean Genie - Stones-Satisfaction
(The sudden end and oh-so familiar start go very well together)

Groove Armada-I See You - Fear Factory-Cars
(Mix the start of cars to the instrumental break about half-way through ICU)
(b-t-w, I think the fear factory version of Cars is much better than Gary's original)

Adam Ant-Goody Two Shoes - Presley Jailhouse Rock
(Great for a genre change - Two shoes finishes with the same opening as JHR)

Bowie-Let's Dance - Robert Palmer-Addicted to love
(Almost identical beat)

James Brown-Sex Machine - Commitments-Mustang Sally
(get it on the 'One' )

Hmm,

Either this information is treated like the crown jewels, or I'm the only saddo who thinks this way

I thought it was a good and interesting thread and waited patiently for the replies which never seemed to materialise.

Eddie.

billy joel uptown girl - dexy's - come on eileen

Chic "good times" flows into Patrice Rushen "Forget me nots" on the hand claps. Sounds good to me, a non mixer!

"Fresh" by Kool and the gang follows on to this.........

Thanks for the pointer to the other thread(s) - I should have done more digging before I posted
