Best KNIGHT RIDER Remix

Post by SeiferV440 » Sat Mar 15, 2003 2:21 pm

Even though i like all of the Knight Rider remixes (well most of them), the one remix that is definitely the best Knight Rider remix to the theme as of now i think is Michael Knight - Knight Ryder (12" Version).mp3 (the artist is also called Michael Knight)... that remix rules and is my favorite

"K.I.T.T... (Michael... MMMichael Knight X 4)... KNIGHT RIDER... K.I.T.T... KNIGHT RIDER... (KITT X 2)... KNIGHT RIDER... K.I.T.T.... KNIGHT RIDER... Michael Knight"

of course the original Knight Rider theme is still much betta...

My favorite is Busta Rhymes' - "Fire It Up/Turn It Up Remix." Not only is it a fast-paced remix with a great bassline, but the lyrics actually have something to do with Knight Rider, and the video does too.

Timbaland/Magoo's "Clock Strikes" doesn't have anything to do with KR and the video is actually a "Spider-Man" cartoon style thing. The remix of the KR song is pretty good but the lyrics let you down.

The techno remix, which I think was done by a group called "Tronster," is really low quality but once the main song starts up it seem alright. Not nearly as great as the above two, but okay.

I personally go for the TV Junkeez remix.

Also, I don't know if it counts as a "remix" but I did like Jan Hammer's Knight Rider 2000 theme. At least the first part of it...It gets a little too "busy" towards the end.

The soft pianos are great though...whenever I think back to when KITT came alive again in KIFT's body, I always think of that song too.

I thought that this one deserved a second chance at life, at least if anything to see if there are any KR remixes out there that we might have missed. :)

There's Punjabi MC's song with the KR bassline in it.

And the System of a Down song with the KR guitar string in it...

Don't click here to listen . . . link removed!

Let me know what you guys think. :)
Hmmm, no . . . that doesn't sound any different to the original TV Junkeez remix . . .

Suggest you listen to them back to back. They're clearly different.

The remix has different KITT quotes, a faster beat, and a high degree of echo added in.

The copy I've got, that I downloaded (via Napster shortly before it was litigated out of existence) is exactly
the same as the one linked in the message above, albeit titled differently (TVJunkiez-Knightrider.mp3). The
only other version of this track that I've heard, that sounds a bit different, is the one that's used as the
soundtrack for the "TV Junkeez - Knight Rider" music video. The videoclip is probably still downloadable
from KaZaA (or preferably KaZaALite) as a 34MB mpeg file. In the video, KITT's quotes aren't sampled
from the TV series, but are instead voiced by someone that sounds absolutely nothing like KITT!

Well, I thought everyone was referring to the music video, as thats the one most heavily sampled on the P2P networks. (Around 3MB)

Ah well, least we've established there are two versions.

Both are not as good as the original tune, naturally. lol :D

Actually taking Neil's recommendation, I bought the Punjabi- MC single and track 3 has a cool sounding instrumental kr remix with a cool back beat. I will be giving it to knightimmortal to put on Knight Radio, I think its that good.

Nope, it's different, goes just a little faster, and is shorter.

But I do have to stress something, especially to you, Sith. If offers of trading episodes, specifically over the internet are slightly frowned upon around here, how do you think we should feel about having links offered for downloading songs, when that is the thing that the RIAA is out searching for, and suing college students for?

Here's a challenge . . . how about someone redub the TV Junkeez music
video with the proper version of the track with the real KITT quotes that
were sampled from the TV series. Or better still, how about someone
creating a completely new TV Junkeez video with different KR clips?

I'm sure at least one member of this msg board could do that. Heck, if I
could afford to purchase a copy of Final Cut Pro, I'd give it a go meself!
