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.

I think Santaolalla's music should be left alone, and apparently so do most of the reviewers on iTunes. It's one of the things you hear over and over again. One even said "good way to make the movie a joke".
No kidding.

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).

A P.S. - I just added my two cents to the review pile-on. One star and a comment entitled "Sacrilege." They apparently review comments before they make them public.

I think I am the only clubber here. I enjoy a good remix. Always have. To me It's not evil, and not the end of the world. Seriously folks, I'd love to hear a great remix of all of the Santaolalla soundtrack.

Flash, I've said it before - I love how you stick to your opinions, repeat as necessary, but never (hardly, hardly, hardly ever) get hostile about it. You are really a model of assertiveness without aggression. And you know what? (I think I may have already said this too) You have caused me to change my mind and see things new ways with your style of declaration. Most notably is Ennis Jacksexual vs. gay.
Jeff Wrangler:
Without even hearing it, I have to say I'm glad--yes, glad--the remix is being "slaughtered." To turn that incredibly beautiful, haunting piece of music into a dance tune is just wrong.
