Michael Cretu:
First of all i would like to compliment all contestants on their great work. The overall level of the recieved remixes was very strong. I was never awaiting so many great mixes to be sent in. Nearly all songs we recieved we´re of a very high standard. That`s why our decision was not made easy. The remixes we listened to were all very different in style and it was interesting to see what can be done with just a few original tracks.
 
Xound: Do you think that the remixers understand the essence of Enigma?

Michael Cretu: Definitely, i even heard samples from Enigma pt.1 in the remixes.
 
Xound: On which criteria were the remixes judged?
 
Michael Cretu: I must state that it turned out to be more work than i had originally planned, because it was very important to me that the decision was made wisely and fairly.
Different criteria came into play while listening to the mixes. First originality, then sensibility meaning: the arrangement, overall build up of the song and the transitions inbetween and so on. Another major part was the sound quality. First i listened to the mixes on my studio monitors and then i sent them through my real time analyzer. The tracks were all very well done. There were only a few contestants that only used the original tracks. Most of the remixers were very inspired and created a totally new song.
On of my aims was to let the contestant be imaginative. A good example is our third prize winner „Crybaby“ by Uwe Griggel from Berlin. There is nearly nothing left of the original except the pizzicato strings.

Xound: How was the contest for you and would you do something similar in the future?
 
Michael Cretu: I enjoyed it alot and i would love to anytime.

Bon et bien pas de français dans les gagnants, tant pis

Edit :  j'ai rajouté les remixes des gagnants, enfin ceux que j'avais.

[Dou²]

Ah pas de bol ^^ lol!

On peut même pas écouter les gagnants c'est un peu frustrant ^^

[Eurasien]

Pour ma part, je préfère le 2ème et 4ème titres.

[nanounet2]

Dans le 1er, ce que j'apprécie... C'est le départ doux qui devient bien plus violent en fin...
Dans le 2nd, un bon medley...
Le 3è : http://www.cycast.co.uk/mp3.php?par=Yj0xNTA2Nw==
Relax... Mais bof... une voix bien déformée... Dommage... Son relaxant...
Le 4è : http://fatodjs.promodj.ru/remixes/460403/ENIGMA_Downtown_Silence_Fato_DeeJays_Remix.html
J'aime... Pas trop d'arguments...
Et pour le 5è : Très oriental... Mon préféré, je crois...

Merci Nanou pour le lien du 3e.
Tu l'as trouvé comment ce lien ?

Bah en faite, tout simple... Dans  "Gogole", j'ai tapé : "Crybaby (Houie D.)" Et voiloù !

[Eurasien]

Je vais rester avec le 2ème et le 4ème...

Je n'aime pas le 3ème titre, ça fait trop blues... le crooner : "BABY (...)" (dit avec une voix grave) lol

[studioreine]

Bravo à tous pour le concours de remix. Je suis ravi mon préféré termine en deuxième position.

[Sébalauviah]

C'est vrai le deuxième reste mon favori aussi. Mais je suis un peu déçu qu'il n'y ait pas de français... Peut-être pour une prochaine fois, qui sait ?
