Do you know if there will be a maxi-single with remixes for Opportunity Nox?
I like the maxi-singles for “Wish I Could Fly (Remixes)” and “The Centre Of The Heart (Remixes)”.
I think it could be great to introduce Roxette’s music in clubs and discos...:-)
My ideal tracklist:
1)Opportunity Nox (Radio Edit)
2)Opportunity Nox (Stonebridge Club Mix)
3)Crush On You (Almighty Remix)
4)Opportunity Nox (Thunderpuss Club Mix)
5)Opportunity Nox (Stonebridge Radio Mix)
...what do you think about it?

...also Hex Hector,Vission,and Sash!could do great remixes for Roxette.
PS:Vission made great mixes for Madonna (American Pie & Don’t Tell Me).
Sash! made a great mix for Kylie Minogue:
“Breathe(Sash!Club Mix)”

Who the heck is sick of remixes? We haven’t even had that many of them, have we?
Opportunity nox is made for the dance flooors...!

I would love a remix single... as others here have said, this song was made for the dance floor. I really think they should have saved it for the next album when they could put the proper effort into promoting it... it seems to be too good of a song for just this compilation!

What about ....
Opportunity Nox (The Stonebridge Shooting Star Totaly messed the song up with some real crap drum loops and pissy little vocal samples just to fill some cd space re-remix) Club edit.
or maybe
Opportunity Nox ( we were bored in the studio so we made up silly names for DJ’s who remix our records badly) Dance floor dub.

Don’t forget we need ANOTHER Remixof The Look - The Look (2003, let’s do it again cos we love it to the bone mix) ;)
Vixzter said on April 29, 2003 20:56:
The Look 2003 (Crapino dub mix - we did it again coz we had nothing better else to do and we thought we’d torture the world once more) re-re-remix

YEAH, this is what EMI should do, release ON to clubs AS IS, and subtitle it (no remix cuz we are sick of them and this song kicks ass AS IS, no need to ruin it with unnecessary drum loops, unnecessary keyboards or crappy rappers either!!)

Hey you are overreacting a lot! Only because you don’t like remixes that does not mean that all remix versions of whatever song known is bad..cuase that’s not true! So far Roxette have only remixes 3 singles into a more contemporary dancy style...and to be honest Stars and TCOTH sound a lot better than many more sucessful songs from other artits that have also been remixed.
Roxette are anyway a not very common “remix-habit” band, that is they don’t remix all singles they release thank God...and yet for me the ones that have gone through that sound quite cool to me!
And if you feel embarassed to go to a disco and listen to the Almighty Dub Of Stars when everybody there is enjoying it...so what kind of Roxette fan are you? No ones knows is Roxette and they love it so love it for heaven’s sake!

I like dance songs, and I really like the remixes that Roxette made on “Stars”, “TCOTH” and “MATAH”, but I dislike the ones made on “Spending my time”, “Fireworks” and “WICF”.
It would be great some remixes on “Opportunity nox” as well as “Crush on you” or even “Sleeping in my car”...
But I think it’s not a great idea to release Remix-singles, i prefere to have those remixes into the usual singles together with the b-sides and the radio edit or single version of the song.
Why have 2 singles of the same songs if we could have (and buy) only one?

I liked the Stars remixes......I didn’t like the WICF remixes....Spending My Time I thought was quite a good effort and Fireworks is one of my fav remixes ever.
TCOTH remixes...well.....I’d rather have the original......Real Sugar shooting star treatment was pretty good .......M&T&H.......thats another big no no for me I’m affraid.
