Being a fan of both Queen and dance music, I picked up the 'Queen & Vanguard' Flash single a few years back, and was quite surprised. No Queen remix is ever going to be a great as the original track. This is just fact. But as remixes go, the Flash remixes don't stink. They're basically remixes of Flash only in name - sometimes the bassline and 'Flash! Ah-ah!' bits are used, but the remixers don't seem to be beholden to the track.And that's OK. You can't improve upon the original. But you can have some fun with it! And that's why the 'Queen & Vanguard' mixes don't suck. :)
The single I picked up was one of the UK CDMs, but I'm throwing in the promo CDr here, too, because you gotta hear all the mixes. :) The Flash Mix is like a megamix of all the tracks on the promo, and is probably my favorite of the lot. The Electro and Extended mixes are OK too, but the Tomcraft and the Smith & Selway mixes are the ones to listen out for.
