Pixels of Tritec Beatles Remixes
by Pixels of Tritec
This is a podcast for my remixes, mostly Beatles. These remixes fall into 2 categories: mixes where I've cleaned up the song, re-eq'd, etc. Then theres mixes where you hear a classic in a different way, and hopefully, you come away appreciating the original piece music even more. I hope you enjoy!

Taxman (Backwardless tape remix)
For such an unwieldy title, its a fun thing to hear. So why do Georges vocals just get wider and wider thru the first verse? It was a mistake I wound up quite liking! This one uses parts of the MFSL copy, the mono and the Anthology take. That said, I'm not sure WHY I tried to use the Anthology…

Come Together (Rickenbacker remix)
Again, we bring the bass to you! And why not? Such is the awesomeness of this mighty bass part, even John Lennon complimented it! (but did Yoko?). We also get John singing this one all by himself, and a slightly less frantic ending... Let me know if you are enjoying these, there's always more.
-
Lady Madonna (Domino Remix)
I don't know, I think I should have been a bass player. I always seem to pick out the bass lines when doing a remix. Maybe it's just because Macca is such a damn good bassist. Either way, this Madonna features bass to the fore, John and Georges twin guitar engine mixed up, and err...lots of...
-
All You Need Is Love (extension remix)
A fairly successful attempt at adding an instrumental verse and chorus to the first of the track; then adding one of my all-time favorite out-takes to this mix as John starts giving us 'the message'. Sounds pretty good, I think!
-
Yesterday (take 1 with strings)
Just an experiment; one that, as with many remixes, works sometimes and doesnt QUITE other times. At least it's a different way of hearing a song we've all heard countless times.
-
Ain't She Sweet (Alpha-Omega mix)
It's always seemed odd to me why The Beatles dug such a corn-pone song. If you've ever wondered the same, feel free now to travel thru time with the boys, first performing the song in Germany at the Tony Sheridan sessions, then (crossfade) during "Abbey Road" recording, and finally in the end…

Magical Mystery Tour (remix)
One some of you may have heard elsewhere, and one of my earlier ones. To quote George Martin, "Very simple, but very effective". I just like it!
-
The Fool On The Hill (Atmosphere Remix)
This is a song that I never really cared for, so I figured, chop 'er up, let's see what happens! Well, what happened is, I now actually appreciate the song! Favorite bit in this mix: Pauls final chorus. Basically, it's just moving things in and out of the mix to get to HEAR more of whats there.
-
"Real Love" (The Whistling Jock Lennon Experiment)
For a lark, I took the backing of the Fabs "RL", and added Johns acoustic guitar demo to it. Its pretty short, and doesnt quite work, but don't tell me YOU haven't thought of it...
-
"Real Love" (Composite Mix)
This is actually a composite of two different (or was it 3?) mixes I did of this one. I was never pleased with the whole things, so finally decided to boil them down to one. You'll notice Johns voice drop out in the last verse slowly; this was so you could better hear Paul and Georges…

Free As A Bird (Next Best Thing mix)
Take some 5.1 extractions, add some original Lennon demo, and voila. You have our "FAAB" remix. Interestingly, you can now hear more clearly how much Paul actually 'boosted' Johns vocals in some parts.
-
When We Was Fab (Beatles mix)
After hearing George claim Paul played the "Walrus" in the video for When We Was Fab (he didn't), I got to thinking....what if not just Paul, not just Ringo (who IS on the record) but also John were on the ultimate Beatle tribute? Well, think no more, I said. So, we end up with Mr. Starr AND John...
-
Got To Get You Into My Life (remix)
A much more experimental-sort of remix. I used 3 different versions here, the UK stereo, the Japanese mono, and the Anthology take. How these all fit together, well. You be the judge.
-
Real Love (Pixels of Tritec remix)
This is one dear to my heart. The last (?) Beatles single, original of which is...umm...well, too damn fast, for one. Who got the stupid idea to speed it up? Well, forget it, we've slowed it back to 'demo' speed, and brought in Johns vocals and piano from the "Working Class Hero" version of the...
-
She Loves You (stereo remix)
Oh man, not ANOTHER remixer doing "SLY"? Well, yes. I've heard a few, and everybody of course uses what I did: the right channel of the German version. Problem is, especially when doing a 'wide' stereo of this one, is that the 2 performances don't quite match. Pauls bass work is much busier, and...
-
Leave My Kitten Alone (stereo remix)
Why DID they leave this off "Beatles For Sale"?. Its one of the great jems of "Anthology"....except for the indifferent mix. So, taking the DVD, getting some extractions from a friend, and voila, a stereo mix. And yes, theres a bit of cheating to make it the full-length song, but so what.
-
Mean Mr Mustard-Her Majesty-Polythene Pam-She Came In Thru the Bathroom Window
This is only part (obviously) of the complete remix I did for the Abbey Road LP. But I've always liked this, especially the "Pam" part. Look out for some buried (yet amazingly perfectly-placed) yeah-yeah-yeahs from another familiar song, and some comments from John mixed out of the final version,...
-
Help! (acoustimix)
"Help!" is one of my favorite songs ever, so this is one of the more 'regular' mixes. Things dropped out here and there that I thought enhance (not BETTER) the song. You be the judge.
-
Revolution (Green Card mix)
This is one I started long before "Love", but added one little bit from the DVD extractions....look out for Ringos "Ahhhh..." after the first chorus ends!
