hard techno/orchestral remixes
Hello all -
I am wondering if anyone knows of any songs like "Apotheosis" aka "O Fortuna". It is a remix of an opera song and is very dark and dramatic. I like to really perform on stage and that song is perfect, gets the crowd going, but I have used it so many times that it is getting old. If anyone can help me I would appreciate it!!

I have a techno version of Fu Elise that I downloaded many years ago, its pretty nice......

If opera techno remakes are your gig then check out Malcolm McLaren's foray into the genre. He started it with a hit album in the '80s called "Fans", which has about 8 songs all remade with a modern sound and some modern vocals in English running alongside the Italian originals. Most famous from this set was "Madam Butterfly", which really is superb. "Carmen" is good too.
He followed it up later with an album called "Waltz darling" but I never listened to it in full. He had another minor hit along the same theme with "Aria on air", which may have been the "remix" of Delibe's "Lakme", but I can't be sure.
Hope this helps.

About five years ago i picked up Operatica 1, and Operatica Shine. these are two of my favorite CDs. Operatica:Shine features Ying Huang from Madame Butterfly, And Inva Mula from The Fifth Element ; who has also performed in many operas. Both of these are produced by Lord Vanger.
I highly recommend them.

There's a german industrial band called E Nomine that does some of those. It will be hard to find though. Have to look on amazon.com.

I've been on a dial up connection since moving to the middle of the desert so I'm not sure what the good download sites are at the moment but I've got techno and trance remixes of Beethoven's 5th and a couple of Bach pieces. I think I used a search engine on a download site and looked for "classical trance remixes" or something similar.

Not a remix, but Rob D's "Clubbed to Death" song from the Matrix soundtrack is a good one.
