You need iTunes installed on your system (Mac users, it's already there, Windows, you must intall yourself) for this link to work.

I didn't really like most of the remixes either.  It would be like making the Celine Dion Titanic song into a club remix. :)

The Wings is, for me, the most moving song on the entire soundtrack.  The swelling strings at the end just really do it for me, and throwing a drum beat over the top of that just destroys the whole moving feeling.

If anything, I wanted that particular song to last far longer, but in its original feel.

Phillip, I am not making this up:  I distinctly remember a dance version of My Heart Will Go On at various clubs in Toronto around the time that movie came out - I can still hear it in my head (unfortunately).

Flashframe777:
The producer Jakatta (who also goes by other famous DJ names) does a great job of remixing movie themes.  He did a great job with American Beauty and Shawshank Redemption.  I was so sure he would do The Wings, but hasn't.  This remix of The Wings is awful, awfu, awful.  Any song can be decently remixed if the production choices are right.
