Wrapping up the final installment of BPM Edition 2009 v1, I take you on a journey of some serious electro-funk.  As promised, I've added some sweet re-makes from the '90s.  First up, is the Buzz Junkies' take on the massive Darude classic "Sandstorm".  Okay, that song is really early millennium, so it's a couple of years off, but who's counting?
Anywho, for those too young to remember, this was so big, it even got played on Top 40 radio.  It spurned so many remixes (official and unofficial) it was nauseating.  Then came the mashups.  OMG, I can't begin to tell you how many of those there were (and you thought "Pjanoo" mashups were overdone).
Regardless, the BJs took this one by the horn and blow it through the roof!  Then we've got "Sweet Dreams" a remake of the LaBouche classic, though the vocals aren't up to par when compared to Melanie Thornton (may she rest in peace), but the ReCover Project lay on a nice electro layer and dropped the cheesy rap for the perfect trip down memory lane that can still fill floors.
This, of course, is followed by the Ruffneck classic "Everybody Be Somebody" which made an appearance on one of my 90's classic editions from last year.  Thomas Gold and Matthias Menck give it a serious electro workout that's not only worthy of the original but damn near surpasses it!  I also had two 80's remakes ("Electric Avenue" and "She Blinded Me with Science") that were decent enough, but still not worthy of this mix.
Possibly the biggest surprise in this category is "Magic" by Vinny Troia & Dave Aude.  Why?  Because this is actually a remake of an old Barry Manilow tune "Could This Be Magic" from the seventies that was later turned into a #1 disco hit for none other than Donna Summer.  Granted, they dropped the over-the-top drama of Barry's...
