Moving along to the 4th installment of the BPM Edition 2009 v1, you'll notice that the mix picks up where the 3rd one left off.  It starts off with some deep and dark progressive tunes before we jump back into the electro.  You might also want to take note of two remakes in this mix.
First up is "Send Me An Angel" by Lovematic feat. Sharon May Linn.  This is a remake of the 80's classic by Real Life.  There are a variety of mixes that accompany this set and one even mimics the original while updating the synth riff for today's floors.  While it's not bad, I had a hard time swallowing it given the female voice as opposed to the original male vocals.  It's hard to listen to a remake of such a massive classic as this without cringing.
Digging into the mixes I finally settled on the Fratty & Burra Club Mix which retains the original melody but uses it in ways never considered before.  For that, I applaud their originality and slapped on four stars to show my approval.  Then we have a remake of "Your Loving Arms" by Jose Amnesia vs. Karen Overton.
Of course the original was done by Billie Ray Martin in the mid-nineties.  This song has deep meaning to me and once again I was skeptical.  After listening to it, I was completely immersed in the song with its trance-like synths swirling around my head.  While nothing will ever match the magic of the original, this sure comes close.
As for Billie Ray, I've got a new mix of the very same song that I'll probably drop in on next week's "Winter Edition".  I understand she's working on some new material scheduled for release later this year.  I also have another 90's classic remake slated for the final volume and will go into detail about that on Friday.
I also wanted to mention the Ting Tings latest offering.
