Okay, I love this song, but this remix, not so much. It halfway ruins it for me, really. Still a 6, just because the song itself is a 9 - IMHO.

 
Pretty much the same reaction here.

Oh man you nailed it!  You have one hell of a memory.

This is an excellent version of MW though.

Awesome song, even better remix. Paul Oakenfold rocks {#Dancingbanana_2}

Ugh. Far from perfecto in my ears.
I generally dislike repetitive extended mixes that don't bring anything new, this is no exception.

The original is one of my favorite U2 songs.  This is welcome and interesting iteration.

Triggered me while working very concentrated, which is a good sign in this case. The remix adds a new dimension to the song, and does that quite well too. Leaves enough of the original spirit of the song, while making it into something new. Apparently, the bass lines and guitars of U2 do match well with electronic music. Nice! 8

I normally don't like remixes - remember the 80's when everything was getting remixed ...or was it the 90s? I do like this remix.

For some reason that synth at the beginning reminds me of the jammin' rap number the nerds do in "Revenge of the Nerds" - "clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands".

Belly dancers and goddess worshippers - of Ishtar/Astarte, specifically. Definitely. Although I might add that the original version on Achtung Baby is even more evocative of such imagery than this one.

This is one of my favorite remixes of this song. I may even prefer it to the album version. Nothing compares to the live versions, though.

One of the things I love about RP are the little cultural aspects of the site, such as how I always seem to check out a U2 song so that I can see what Tux has to say about it, and read the inevitable reactions of other listeners to his comments.

That's really nice to know. Since you are exactly 4 days older than me, perhaps we should get a bottle of Champagne in October and put this track on 'repeat'? skindy wrote:

Nice remix. Makes the song interesting again. Not that I was tired of it, but I think the better remixes of known classics should receive more airplay here and elsewhere.

Oh, this is very, very, very nice. "Mysterious Ways" is a song that I loved until I heard it one time too many. This makes it fresh again. Thanks, Bill!!

Why do you have to listen to U2? Is someone forcing you? If you choose not to listen to U2 then we won't have to listen to you... :p

I actually kinda like this remix. Most remixes turn me off.
Posted 21 years ago by mread    [ Reply ]
This song is tolerable in 3-minute radio-edit doses. Barely. Edited out to half an hour (or so it seems), it becomes spectacularly insufferable.
Posted 21 years ago by drover    [ Reply ]
Love this song, but had never heard this remix. Pretty cool....wonder if I can dance unseen in this here office. :D :p :D
Posted 21 years ago by rgj13    [ Reply ]
This is OK, but are you sure this is a U2 remix? It sounds more like \"I Travel\" of the Simple Minds to me. Better play that instead. :p
Posted 22 years ago by ce    [ Reply ]
Please make it stop. I like U2 alot, but the original version was played to death on commercial radio, and this version is just too much mix.
Posted 22 years ago by jeremyleo    [ Reply ]
Well I like this, but it seems the \"perfect mix\" is just a lot of stereo echo effects. Big deal. I do like the song, though. Oh, and now I see there are a few new riffs in here too...

Mango is a bootleg. Melon is the only official remix CD. This was also released, and likely still available somewhere, on teh Mysterious Ways Single. It's better than the Even Better than the Real Thing mixes. Now that's crap. Kevin

Posted 22 years ago by red    [ Reply ]
I believe there are 3 more U2 mix compilations where fruit is concerned: Melon, Guava, and Lime (or Orange)? Of course, the only time I got a glimpse of these rarities was at a local, used CD shop. Later.
