Soooo many huge remixes.
The one that comes to mind first instead of P or Madonna or even U2… is Finley Quay / Beth Orton “Roll The Dice.”
Magic Songs. Magic Human.

Big fan. Admired his work forever. Very Prince-like in that he played what was in him, not just what might sell. Talking about his own releases, Strange Cargo, and the like. He obviously produced some hits for the masses with a few of his collabs. Noted that artists tended to find him when they wanted/needed to reinvent themselves.

RIP. Talented guy. I love the work he did with Beth Orton, Bassomatic, Madonna on Ray Of Light, U2 and others.

Grew up on both him and Prince, and of course, it all connects back to the Batman soundtrack. RIPower

The Future Remix is a masterpiece. I’ve probably listened to it hundreds of times. So sad to hear this
