Well, I've seen, borrowed and spun a 12" of Paradise with a brilliant
re-mix on it. and that was a major label release (not a white label.)

As far as Sade hating "dance music" how could that be so... her music IS
dance music. However if by "dance music" you meant "house" music I could
imagine that she hates it (house) and wouldn't want any house remixes done
(I haven't heard any at least.)

Now I have a question for the more music-biz minded (mr fliz?)...
Does Sade have to approve a remix? As far as I understand it, usually the
artist has little or no input as to how his/her music is remixed. I believe
that the label usually has the right to re-process and re-release waht ever
it wants. Is this so?

On a related topic... I have been mercilessly spinning the hell out of a
white label Red Snapper remix of .... (I'm really ashamed of this) STUPID
GIRL by Garbage! I mean I hate Garbage and I hate the song, but the red
snapper remix has almost NOTHING to do with the original except for a
distorted, manipulated sample of the words, "stupid girl" thrown in a few
times. Well worth your money if you spot this, and I'd be curious if anyone
else has seen it.

Peace,
