I like the remixes that actually bear some resemblance to their original counterparts i.e. both of the "A Little Soul" remixes and the Chocolate Layers remix of "Party Hard".
You know what I love? The End of the line mix of this is hardcore - that orchestral piece (possibly written by Anne Dudley - Art of Noise fame) that kicks in before Nick....just astounding - it soars and soars - brilliant bit of music. Possibly one of my all time favs bits of noise.
I'm the opposite. I like the Scott free remix of sunrise. And I like Harcore end of the line although that's more like a excerpt than remix. And to a 15 year old, that Swedish remix of this is hardcore was the cleverest thing ever!

I love that too! So happy they opened the live arrangement with it for this year's tour!
Favourite b side? Fucking hell half of Pulp's best songs are b sides. Apart from Joking Aside, Looking For Life & There Was are the best songs from the It era. Let's bear in mind Little Girl, Dogs Are Everywhere & The Sister's EP are EPs, so I don't think their tracks count. So I'd say Sex City, although I can't really think of any I don't like. Even Silence has grown on me over the years lol. I also love the TIH-era b sides tho' perhaps not That Boy's Evil (which I liked at the time but have gone off of.)
I quite like the 4Hero remix of Hardcore (for a remix...) and yes! Freek has it spot on, if s/he's referring to the version of Death that is more lyrical with extra synth at the start (I can never remember if it's Town or Disco...)
Hows about Countdown? I heard that first through the Fire compilations as the Rolfed-up version, so I always regard that as the original... whereas I much, much prefer the album version.

Jarvis and Hawley performed This is Hardcore at the Southbank Centre with the BBC orchestra in June for BBC Radio 3 - it has yet to be fully broadcast so look out for it! The orchestra played this sequence as an introduction before the drums kicked in. Well worth a listen. Jarvis seemed a little intimidated vocally by the sedate crowd though. (Part of the "Electronica III" programme).
