Dalboz 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Short and sweet: just wondering whether anyone knows of a techno remix / electronica / techno version of the 'theme from Jaws' exists?My boyfriend's trying to assemble a Halloween mix-disc and I wasn't able to find many Williams-remixes. Blasphemy that they may be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Why on hell would someone like to ruin a perfect theme?Nevertheless, you may want to check Lalo Schifrin's take on it, with a somewhat disco sound to it, on his 70's album Black Widow.

Damo 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Sorry but hey I don't think you gonna find any jaws or any John Williams techno remix here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futuremartymcfly 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 There better not be any Jaws remixes, and that Star Wars Party remix should be banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsp3studio 1 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 As much as it seems like people here hate remixes of classical themes, I have done quite a bit of this, with a jazz version of the E.T. Flying Theme and an electronica version of Harry Potter. If you would like to commission a remix of the Jaws theme, I'd be happy to do it... let me know if you're interested.

Melisande 0 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 My favorite is the Imperial March/Haddaway-What is Love? remix. Surprisingly the two mesh well, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalboz 0 Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 Miguel -- THANKS SO MUCH! Not exactly what I was looking for, but weird enough that it'll do. And no no, I'm in no way trying to 'modernize' Jaws or lacking respect for the original! I was just looking for something 'funky' for a Halloween Mix for my boyfriend.rsp3studio -- Nice that someone here is willing to do remixes of Williams on demand! But sorry man, I'm not THAT serious about finding a remix! Nor, as a poor college student, do I have the funds necessary. But I agree with the others that I'd love to hear the takes on E.T. and Potter!As for the topic of remixes of film scores in general, I find them to be rather hit-or-miss depending. I've personally got dance remixes from The Incredibles, Requiem for a Dream, Brokeback Mountain, The Ring, and Pirates of the Caribbean. Some are more successful than the others, and I know lots more exist, everything from the aforementioned Duel of the Fates to The Skeleton Key (?!?). A very odd sub-genre to be sure.

Sandor 797 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well, Moby's trance piece based on The Force Theme is sort of amazing to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AI 0 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 The only legitimate, and respectable "techno" remixes of a film theme I know of are Now we are free. from Gladiator, and My Heart will go on, Titanic. Although there are plenty of film score samples used in rap, electronica etc. Never Jaws though, to my knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I hated the Now We Are Free remix. It's basically the same thing, but with a thumping beat added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that probably has something to do with the fact that I don't listen to rap. Although I know some who do . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
